User blog comment:A Heroic Smurf/Reporter's Inside Stories: An Interview with Hero/@comment-1323688-20131205140221

If this interview is supposed to happen before Empath was married to Smurfette, it should be known that he doesn't fluently speak in Smurf until after his honeymoon; the only times he does is when he is very angry or very scared. If this is supposed to happen after his marriage, Hefty's antagonistic behavior towards Empath wouldn't seem to fit in this scenario.
