We're standing on ground; I rather think we would have noticed were it a planet. Unless you propose we walk among stars?
[ well yeah they fell to the ground like a month ago ]
No matter -- [ he knows less about astronomy than he'd like so better not to try and explain why they know the world is flat to this crazy bug ma-- wo -- person ] -- I suppose that any inquiry upon the subject more than risks impropriety, but what do you think of the human notion of them, then? They've always caused a great deal of trouble where I'm from -- genders, that is, not planets.
I suppose the planets as well, if you take half a measure of sense from divination.
[Blank stare. That's exactly what he was proposing, but whatever. There was just no educating some people.]
I think it is primitive. [C'mon, you could see that coming a mile away.] You define yourselves in restrictive categories, and take offense at any perceived infraction. How your species has managed to procreate this long with such a system in place is a mystery.
[ (un)luckily all bug faces look blank to him. cmon felix knows people say his eyes are spooky but four of them? bright orange with slits? that's a whole new level. ]
I imagine it’s something to do with the simplicity of actual mechanics; you really will have to meet a young human some day. They fall over themselves with the fever of it.
If you were to define yourself outside such bounds — for the sake of conversation, without use of ‘primitive’ or ‘prothean’, please — how would you go about it? Consider it scholarly research, for ah…purposes of improvement.
[Look closer Felix, those are dual pupils. And six nostrils. Feel free to guess at what the rest of those grooves on his face are. The more you look, the weirder he gets!]
I have. They produce enough pheromones to choke a thresher maw.
[He almost answers 'prothean' anyway, but this guy is taking this way to seriously. Scholarly research? Who did he think was, Liara T'Soni?]
