"Hello, Talkrai," Unit 16 says, smiling. "I have no opinion on meeting you," he adds matter-of-fact.
Talkrai was at first confused and a bit affronted; although she didn't say anything, she did pout a bit. At least, she was until Unit 16 continued speaking. With each passing sentence she realized that perhaps it wasn't personal and her face returned to it's normal happy look.
At word of another Kalashtar drinking toxic levels of ale, she raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. This also struck her as odd, but now didn't seem the time to ask more about it.
Her speech is so stiff, so formal, so...blunt. I wonder if why her creator would include that. Curiouser and curiouser. She is smiling, so I don't think she meant anything by it. Maybe she just needs some help.
"Hello, Pis," says Unit 16, turning to the other new creature. "I - hmm." He pauses for a moment and then with some new resolve, turns back to Talkrai and asks, "Often pleasure is expressed at meeting a new being. Is this typical of most races, or part of conversations?"
Talkrai smiled widely at the question, certain now that no earlier offense had been meant.
"Yes, that's normal. Well, unless there is something to not like about the person. If the first meeting is a bad one somehow, then it wouldn't be nice to meet them. In a casual and friendly setting like this, though, usually it's nice to meet someone new. New people mean new possibilities, new knowledge, and often new friends. It makes you happy, no?"
