   Oh, that’s such an obvious (if you’ll pardon the expression) straight line:

   “You don’t know yourself, Dije? The rest of us should BE so lucky…”

   Maybe Dije just likes being punny about her relationships and that’s all there is to it. Easier to troll friends on an FPS than in person, though…

   On another note, it’s Sophie, another woman, and a man, right? I’d hardly call two people a “harem.”

   IIRC back in the 1970s both Gene Roddenberry and Robert A. Heinlein presumed that, in future decades, uh, I guess you’d call them “multiple-partner marriages” (of three or more) would be commonplace. Well, not so far. Hey, some people have enough trouble attracting just ONE person…

   And yet we do have polyamory relationships, some of which the participants call ‘marriage.’

   Such arrangements function very much like Antarctic research stations, where select people live in intimate conditions for months on end. It helps to be undisturbed by the mess of other people and to not respond to even deliberate jabs. This isn’t a formula most people can live with, hence its scarcity. But group intimate arrangements are a thing today. Just not as joyfully provocative as Heinlein certainly wished them to be.
