There is so much sheer awesome in this, I can't verbalize it all.
I love the All Religions temple. And the arguing atheists. And the librarian. And Father Barbara. And the fact that they'd protect the Valet from the police, even though the Valet is new to them personally and weird to them just by existing.
I love the fact that even in this future (or a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away), people are still weird about gender and gender representation, and that responses to Valet are so real.
I love Valet's dry sense of humor, and the conversation with Father Barbara about sleeping quarters.
I can't wait to see why Valets are genderless, and what happens when Valet is named (I'm sure it'll come up. You have a think about names, don't you?).
