...I'm sorry. [He doesn't really sound like he's speaking to Jim about that.]

Why? This place seems made to drive people apart. To make them fight over what little there is left.

He's had worse scares.

[ The fact that Catseye apologies to cats isn't really a surprise, but it does make Jim like him better. ]

Some people are like that. A lot of them, I guess. But there are good people around, too. Ones that want to work together and share.

[grimalkid]

Hey, I've met people like that too.

...they don't always like intruders into their group. [Still trying to maintain plausible deniability about being nonhuman.]

[rattlingthestars]

As long as you're bringing something to the table, I don't think you're an intruder.

[grimalkid]

I've tried doing that too. People don't like a kid [who looks like a monster] telling them what to do.

[rattlingthestars]

Yeah, I know the feeling.

That does kind of describe half the population around here, though. Me included.

[grimalkid]

So I've seen. I guess experience in this place is more important than actual age in some cases.

[rattlingthestars]

Yeah, I guess you could say that. Not everybody's going to take you seriously but a lot of us come from worlds that don't care as much.
