Back home, when I left... the people in the town I lived in weren't only tolerating the presence of carnivores that ate other sentient organic species, tyrants who made my people? They were doing it at the expense of other Votans.

Coming here was a blessing in disguise. My only friend had died. [She thought he was dead, anyway.] I had the decision to go made for me.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't go. Where would you think of going to?
