MINOR SPOILER AHEAD - READ AT OWN RISK
Hmm, you do have a point. I was going to go more into the mind of Roku as Wales devised a way to speak with him. Roku would go on about what he thinks about the world so far as it differs from what his time frame was like. But I suppose that I DO have to go more into it than saying that Richard's and Roku's younger years were somewhat the same. With the war plot going on, I suppose using Roku as a filler would not be bad. It would, of course, lengthen by designs, but that don't matter. Thanks for the input, I will be adding into my future schemes.
