Cuz he know he owns them till the day they die or he dies whichever comes first and he doesn't have to lift a finger for them or do diddly for them they will stick by him like glue no matter what. He takes them completely for granted and doesn't think much of them. A perverse curse or worse?
I'd be insulted if I were one of them but then if I were one of THEM I'd be a whole nother universe of homo sap. Poor saps. They don't know any better.
