OFFICIAL WARDEN ANNOUNCEMENT! Completely public.

[buywithme]

Comrades, If you should encounter a situation in which my inmate: "Barron Sharpe" is aggressively removing his gloves at you, I would like to officially authorize punching him as an acceptable preventative measure against his trying to hold your hand.

Under no circumstances should you allow him to hold your hand.

And some people wonder why I dislike the human custom of the handshake.

[And Narvin quietly plans--not to physically punch Sharpe, since punching is primitive and not Time Lord style--but to plant a psychic bomb in Sharpe's mind if he ever touches Narvin. Because Narvin is fairly casual about messing about with other people's memories, but has serious issues when it's *his* memories being messed with.]

[Huh.]

[This raises an important question.]

Why don't you like handshakes?

What do Time Lords do instead?

Allowing touch invites potential threats to gain a foothold in one's mind.

Time Lords traditionally bow to each other when formally greeting strangers or acquaintances.
