Hello.

This is The Knight.

I wish to talk about families.

What is your family like? Do you have siblings? I have many siblings. More siblings than there are moonblessed. One of them is here with me. They are also a knight. They were one long before I was, and they are very good at it.

I have a child. They were not born by mating, as humans do, but by a dance with myself and my friend Grimm. It was part of an important ritual.

My Father is a King. My Mother is a Tree. Also a Queen.

That is all of my family. Please tell me about yours.

I see. That is sad. No one should be left alone.

Sad?

The concept of interpersonal relationships is different for anisotropic beings. The concept of familial relationships is one of which I have learned only very recently.

[dreamnailedit]

I do not know what anisotropic means.

["Anisotropic" is already a watered-down concept that doesn't really capture what exactly he is, but there unfortunately do not exist any more accurate words. To try to phrase it differently would result in even greater misunderstanding, but...]

Anisotropic: to possess qualities that are directionally-dependent, to possess properties that differ depending upon angle. Iridescence is a form of light-based anisotropy.

[Even if that really doesn't explain it to any acceptable degree. Language is frustrating like that.]
