E-321: Zarg’s World Downport, Circus Galacta
Prrri’s ears droop slightly, “Xlike many.”
He continues on, not commenting further unless Lia wishes to pursue the matter.
OK to skip forward to the VIP Lounge, or would you like to do more?
The RPG of Dominion Space…
If Lia and Prrri seperate, Oliver comes up to her and quietly says. “He’s not hungry? Does that effect his relationships with humans?”
Lia wrote:
She blinks.
“That was a joke, Oliver.”
Oliver wrote:
“Oh… sorry.” He looks genuinely embarrassed. “First time… but I’m trying.”
Lia wrote:
She smiles. It’s probably the most genuine smile he’s seen her give.
“Trying is good. I take it you haven’t met a lot of Felline?”
Oliver wrote:
He nods. “Like I said, first time.”
Lia wrote:
“Prrri is a person, just like you and me. If you have any questions, just ask him.”
Oliver wrote:
“I understand that, but culture shock is always something I… struggle with.” He looks at the back of Prrri’s head. “But thank you.”
“You’re welcome. If it helps, he’s just a member of this crew. Try to think of it that way, instead of him being someone other than human.”
She tilts her head slightly.
“You’re welcome. If it helps, he’s just a member of this crew. Try to think of it that way, instead of him being someone other than human.”
“I have no issue with that. He can process thoughts, has emotions, they all can. I understand they’re people. I’m just uncertain about cultural, social and biological barriers. I don’t want to step on any toes.”
He now has her undivided attention. It’s slightly unsettling.
“The best way to learn about a people is to be amongst them; to learn through observation and experience. It’s what Prrri has had to do. If you really want to get to know him, spend time with him. That and asking questions is an excellent start. If you’re not sure if you’re going to step on his claws, just ask.”
She gives him an encouraging smile.
He nods. “Noted, I will try that in the future. Thank you.”
If there’s nothing else, I’m happy to continue to the main event.
She claps him on the shoulder and heads in the direction of the VIP Lounge.
Side question – can merchandise be purchased anywhere?
