I want to be able to have a close relationship with my rowlet so he can be a friend forever and a gentleman, but he’s very stubborn. How can I make him less stubborn?

Bribe him.

Edit: Strange. Usually, my partner shows up within the hour to scold me for offering terrible advice.

Actually, Bill, for once, I agree with you. Bribing the stubborn is usually an excellent way to get them to do what you want. —LH

Is this why you or my sister always show up with fried noodles whenever I’ve made up my mind about something? —Bill

And yet, you would still concede. —LH

True, but honestly. —Bill
