Okay, that's interesting, Duvall said. So you're a priest of the Forshan religion? Which schism?The leftward schism, and no, not a priest.Couldn't handle the celibacy?Leftward priests aren't required to be celibate, Dahl said, but considering I was the only human at the seminary, I had celibacy thrust upon me, if you will.Some people wouldn't let that stop them, Duvall said.You haven't seen a Forshan seminary student up close, Dahl said. Also, I don't swing xeno.
Duvall and Dahl engage in a conversation about Dahl's affiliation with the Forshan religion. Duvall is curious about the specifics of Dahl’s role, mistakenly assuming he is a priest. Dahl clarifies that he belongs to the leftward schism of the Forshan faith but is not a priest, emphasizing that the celibacy expected from priests doesn't apply to him, though he jokes that attending the seminary as the only human made celibacy inevitability for him.
The exchange reflects Duvall’s confusion and Dahl’s humorous perspective on his situation. While Duvall suggests that the celibacy requirement shouldn't deter someone, Dahl points out the challenges of being the sole human among Forshan seminary students and humorously adds that he does not have preferences for alien partners, highlighting both the uniqueness of his experience and the complexities of inter-species interactions.
