B/c the story takes place in the 9th century, clerical celibacy isn't a thing in the Catholic Church yet. So Radbod can have his lady friends. Cellanus disapproves as Radbod is not married to any of them. Radbod does not care what Cellanus thinks.
Day 2 #DVparty
Last main character is Father Radbod. He is a priest and a foil to Cellanus. He's charming, oozing with charisma, and extremely lustful. He has many lady friends and they are frequent guests. He tries to teach Cellanus how to actually talk normally to the laity.
