Commentator Chloe laughs.

FARMER ROAN:

Harlee.

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

Really? So… so simple?

FARMER ROAN:

Yes. So simple. I know, in here, that it is true.

Farmer Roan taps his chest.

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

Back on Earth—as the resident Human expert of LOVE GALAXY, I can tell you that’s what we’d callinstalove.

FARMER ROAN:

In star love?

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

Insta.Instalove. It’s a Human expression. It meansinstant love, as in you fell instantly in love with someone as soon as you saw them.

FARMER ROAN:

This is good, is it not?

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

Honestly, not really. It’s viewed with suspicion. It can mean you’re desperate. And no Female wants a desperate Mate.

Commentator Chloe laughs again.

FARMER ROAN:

Akh… Right. I understand.

Farmer Roan nods, pauses, then frowns.

FARMER ROAN:

I do not understand. Why is this a bad thing?

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

I’m the one who’s supposed to be asking the questions. I’ll simply say that it’s not really attractive to, you know, fall in love with someone so quickly. It makes your feelings seem fake.

FARMER ROAN:

I see… There is a lot I still need to learn about Human Females.

COMMENTATOR CHLOE:

Definitely. But that’s fine, ’cause I’m here, and I’m always happy to help.
