It was simply too beautiful a day to spend cooped up in his quarters.

It was impossible not to notice the humans' 'retreat'. Vector paused a short distance away, eyes following the parents taking steps to guard their young.

He could hear the sigh easily enough.

"They hardly know better," he mused aloud, voice carrying well enough. It was unclear as to which he was referring to, parent or children, but...the fact remained. If they were in danger...they'd have already been harmed.

[governorkang]

"It's something I'm used to," Kang shrugged, smiling wryly at the man. "Humans have never much liked my kind."

[spacetimeprime]

"Have they reason?"

Other than the obvious judging on appearances alone, but...the question is light, not meant to pry so much be dry.

Humans - many species - are so quick to fear what they do not understand.

And as he had noted, the other man seems peaceful enough.

[governorkang]

"Once, they did. There are some of us that perpetuate it, as well. Old grudges die hard, though, and it isn't that old of a grudge."

Kang didn't see the point in lying about the nature of his kind or their past.

[spacetimeprime]

At that, Vector nods. "I trust, then, that time will at least give them something else to think about." It may not heal all wounds, but...the years can lessen the pain. Especially if the reminders...drop off.

"...forgive me if I am bothering you," he says after a moment. "There are so few who hold a shape other than human, I found myself interested."

It's as much an opening for him to be dismissed as anything.

[governorkang]

Kang nodded as well, "Inevitably, it will." Things never seemed to get dull on Krynn.

"No, not at all. I don't like spending too much time in the human body Lachesis gave me."

[spacetimeprime]

"She gave you a choice?"

Vector sounds a bit surprised, but the look is only on his face for a moment. Really, with what else he's seen...it shouldn't be too surprising, to him. Especially not when he's seen some attain inhuman form through their own determination.

[governorkang]

"I suppose you could consider it to be that. I've heard that a good number of us that aren't human get this particular 'power'," Kang snorted.

[spacetimeprime]

"A good number, but not...all. Some of my fellows...the closest they ever got to returning to their true forms was to construct a shell, and to transfer their spark to it." Something...he was never quite interested in.

Being human wasn't enough to drive him that far, though he could not fault them for their own choices.
