( the voice that pipes up on the network only does so after a prolonged pause, and when it does, it's... flat. quiet. spacing out words carefully as though it's trying very hard to think of the right way of phrasing things.

or like it's simply never figured out how to talk correctly. )

... What are humans like, in your world? Are they... good?

( he's met humans here, both otherworlders and natives, and seen Red Wine post asking how Food Souls would be treated on other worlds, but he asks the question anyway.

Cordyceps would not approve of this, but Cordyceps isn't here. the situation is different. the aims and goals are different. and the people he listens to are different too. )

( another answer like this, hm? )

Do they respect others? ... Who aren't like them?

( others who might have been created as weapons, for example. )

[dragongrrl]

Sometimes. [...] Sometimes afraid of different. Betray, attack.

[fellsound]

The same happens... on Tierra.

( well. the betrayal part. he hears there are good humans too, but he's never actually experienced it, not really. there's too many questions to be raised about the way people treated him back in Xuan Wu's day. was it kindness, or simply deference to his master? )

[dragongrrl]

Different worlds. Humans still human.

Humans attack you?

[fellsound]

They... abandoned me. My master died and left me in his tomb.

( yep. just. say that like that. )

[dragongrrl]

[wow. what the hell... that's just cruel.]

Why?

[fellsound]

... ...

( oh, but he wishes he could give an answer to that. unfortunately; )

I don't know. Nobody... told me. ( either because they thought the reasoning was obvious, or because they just didn't think he was worth telling. either way, he wasn't given an answer. )
