[Marley]

"If it means I can live, of course." He didn't know if he'd be confined to Nori's house or if he'd be able to venture out into her world sooner or later, but either way he'd have to be alive to do it. Being alive and here with Nori meant that there was a chance he might eventually be able to return home, and by God if he wasn't going to take that opportunity by the horns. Besides, during his time here he might be able to learn more about her culture. He'd always known there were other beings out in the universe and now that he'd met one he wanted to know everything he possibly could about them. "I mean... it'll guarantee my life here, right?" Because he also didn't want to try something only to find out it wouldn't work down the road.
