It's complicated. This world offers freedom for many even in the midst of so many restrictions and limitations. And most of us have achieved the ability to adapt, at any rate.

You'd think so, but prior to my coming here, Mr. Gray and I had fallen out of touch with one another. There were several factors that prevented us from maintaining any sort of close acquaintance. But I suppose being here allowed us to reconnect. I have always held him as someone dear, regardless of the circumstances.

I never would have guessed it. You two seem very intimate, and I'm not only referring to the acts this world and society are always encouraging of us.

What sort of family, then? How do you choose?

This city prompted us to rely on each other in ways we hadn't in some time. I was fortunate in that I did not have to look past my own circle of intimates in order to find someone willing to offer a fair contract.

Like calls to like, in many instances. And I suppose I've always been drawn to those whose uniqueness complements my own.

Reminds me of when I studied color theory back at Oxford.

You are your two blokes from the old world, as a trio, you lot felt like a split complementary. Heard of that one before, by any chance?

No, I can't say I have. Would you care to enlighten me?

Conplementary colors are high-contrast. You have one base color, then you pick the other to be on the total opposite of the color wheel. Your red-and-green for Christmas, for example. But you can toggle around shades so it's more like a base color and an accent-- blue and gold, for example, is one popular at Ikea. Er, modern decor.

Split complementary's a bit more complicated. There you've got a base color, then two secondary ones that are equidistant on the color wheel. A brilliant shade of gold, for example, opposite blue and violet.

Though I can't place which you are. I suppose that's not for me to choose.
