Dak  Would you be interested in a write up about marriage? It seems to play an interesting role in the Anime narrative. I would need to track down the specific episoids and character names. However as you know people in one villiage judge Lawrence and Holo as unfit for business for not being married. There one character who tries to steal Holo away with a marriage proposal, and Lawrence's friend, the town merchant, is notable for his happy marriage. And when Holo is desperate to avoid loneliness and offers herself in order to make children she runs into Lawrence's sense that without marriage this is an impossible option. Meanwhile, Holo has come to terms with the vast difference of their responses to time and has told him she will nurse him when he is old. As I mentioned in the last blip, I have not read the light novels, but I have heard that Holo and Lawrence pick up a small boy as a traveling companion turning them into an almost family.
