I don't see him retiring until either Kali or 'we' are ready to take over, and she really doesn't seem to want it. More than just her usual pretending for attention either. Of course, this is why I assume we will be the ones running things, she is our sub after all.I'm not saying it won't happen or anything, but I can't help noticing everyone is assuming Daddy Goldrocks is going to kick the bucket. He might just retire you know. Plus, you know...that whole "It's just a fleshwound!" thing is mighty suspicious considering how vulnerable he was. Even a complete amateur should have no trouble landing a fatal shot in that situation, which suggests it was either a warning, or, and bear with me here, something HE set up in order to give Kali a push to take over the company, and possibly do some internal cleanup in his uh... "organization" as a test of loyalty or something. Just throwing that out there.
The general idea, if he is making it obvious, is that someone his new wife works with did it as a warning to him, the alternative being a warning from the people who hate elves, and he is clearly part of the group trying to humanize them...
