Figure it's normal that someone would come here and see people the likes of which they've never seen before. Makes sense, that. New place, new people.
Thing that's confusing me is, more folk here look like me than ever did back home. All skin, ears the shape of seashells, two eyes, somewhere on the short side of of the mean. We call people like me hume, back home. Or hyur? I think it was hyur. Something like that. We cluster together sometimes, big families and all. But most cities, you'd see all kinds of folk. And they'd be built to be used by all kinds of folk, too. Everything made for people of all sorts of sizes.
Here it feels like every other person is my size. And I don't know I've seen more than a couple doors that a zun could get through comfortably.
That's not normal, is it? For there to be so many hume and so few of everyone else?

In which case, figure it must be whiplash for you if you're the only human wherever you came from. Back where I'm from at least, humans were the norm for the most part. There were some special cases, like human-animal hybrids or ghosts but those were in tribes hidden away or summoned. But other than those, it's been just humans for me. I know there's some non-humans here, though I hadn't met all of them myself.

But aye, that's what's strange about it to me. There are plenty of folk here who aren't hume, but so many more people who look like me than I'm used to. And so many people from places where they're the only sort of people there are. I'm not complaining, it's just peculiar.
