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.

[sonofafish]

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.]

[Spam]

[tucky]

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

Why'd you want to eat her?

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

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

[Spam]

[tucky]

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

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

Saturnynian. I am not from Saturn.

[Spam]

[tucky]

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

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

Saturnyne. Yes, that is what it was called.

[Spam]

[tucky]

What happened to it?

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

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.

[tucky]

Shit.

I'm sorry, Francesco.

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

I do not remember it.

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

[Spam]

[tucky]

Still.

I won't tell anyone about any of this.

[Spam]

[sonofafish]

And what is to be my punishment?

[Spam]

[tucky]

Iris? You wanna punish him?

[Spam]

[routemistress]

I think I did already. Don't do it again, Francesco.

[He gazes at her petulantly. And silently.

But he is smart enough not to go for Iris again.]
