Comparisons between the current situation and social experiments have crossed Archie's mind - on some level he finds it rather interesting, perhaps even stimulating to see masks slipping and façade breaking. However, he wisely keeps that little gem to himself.

"Well, I'm at your service, my lord." Whether it would readily be called upon is a different matter. The Valerians have a reputation of being... shall we say reluctant when it comes to serving and while Archie is considered more amicable and mellow than his father, he knows that not many would willingly put their lives into his hands. Which is a little bit insulting if you think about it but what can you do.
