I ain't trying to convince you to be without the filter thing, okay? It's your choice. I'm just saying I don't think you're a monster, and I wouldn't've thought you were a monster if I saw you the other way first. I want you to know that.

I wish I could send you back.

[He does not know how to deal with being told this either, beyond clenching his fists impotently and looking visibly uncomfortable, and then pretending she has not said it because it's too much.]

I don't understand why she has not come for me. She should have come for me by now.

The Barge ain't an easy thing to find, Francesco. There's different dimensions, and time gets fucked up.

She has overcome such things before. Even as our planet was destroyed around us.

Francesco love, I can't pull people off the barge and I've got a timeship. You might 'ave to settle for leaving the oldfashioned way.

Yeah. She ain't wrong. I'm not gonna tell you to give up 'cause I'd be a hypocrite if I did, but Iris is right; nobody's ever found a way.

[He sneers.]

And just what am I meant to do? Vow to become a vegetarian?

You asked me if you could eat from me and I said yes.

I should not have to ask! We do not ask. The shark does not ask the sole. The tiger does not ask the zebra. A human does not ask a cow.

[Francesco is not someone who can only ruin things a little bit: he goes all in. He has subconsciously raised Tiffany to a status of person equal to himself, but everyone else is still currently available on the menu.]

It ain't different because you're a person?

I am not a person!

[And then once it registers that he has said that he has a small foot-stomping tantrum because that's not what he means, but it's also a little true.]

I don't mean like a human. I mean like more than an animal.

We're all people 'ere, sonny Jim. And people ask, or they get their teeth kicked in.

[There's only a flash of asperity before Iris speaks more calmly.]

The kitchen supplies blood for those on a liquid diet. You're 'ardly the first.

I know that it does. I have eaten it. I wanted to eat you.

[He tells Iris this pointedly, because it's nice to feel wanted.]

An animal does not want.

[He directs this at Tiffany, but he does not sound completely sure as he's never really had much time for animals.]

Yeah, but you were listing animals before. Comparing yourself to 'em.

Why'd you want to eat her?

Because I did. And we take what we want. It is our nature.

You mean your species? It's, uh, Saturnian nature?

Saturnynian. I am not from Saturn.

Are you from... Saturnyn? Is that what it's called?

Saturnyne. Yes, that is what it was called.

What happened to it?

There were cracks. And through the cracks we could see other worlds. And mother found one with oceans like ours, and we fled there before the planet was torn apart.

Shit.

I'm sorry, Francesco.

I do not remember it.

[Which means he wants people to think it doesn't matter.]

Still.

I won't tell anyone about any of this.
