Thank you. It's--not so bad, really. [Though he sounds more like he's trying to convince himself of that than he actually believes it. The isolation has been hard, but...] I've met a handful of people who don't treat me as so much of an outsider, so that helps.

Anyways, come now... how am I supposed to learn to fit in if I don't even understand things that are important to your species? Help me help you, we may both be happier for it.
