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?

[Though the initial message is in text, Nanaki has opted to make his reply a video. And the face that replies back is very much not human looking.]

There are plenty of non-humans here, if you look for them.

[ Give him a second, he needs to figure out how to video. Which means that his hand is in the way for a while at first, covering the feed and muffling the sound. ]

It'd seem so- [ There we go, he figured it out. ] It'd seem so.

[ And he is very much human. The most human human ever to human. Just a whole man emoji of a person. ]

Couple people have called them 'humans', now. I suppose that's a common term.

[That sure is a human. As for Nanaki, he's very much the opposite end of the spectrum. He merely nods.]

It is from my perspective. I take it that "hume" is yours? In my world, there's far more humans than anything else. It's been quite refreshing to see the number of animal-like beings here alongside humans. Though it seems even if they come from different worlds, humans seem more preoccupied with appearances than anything else.

[He's more speaking from personal experiences of how others have treated him, a mere "beast".]
