Ey cackled, rattling in eir throat. "Humans can be fun," ey explained, with a brief flutter of thick false lashes. "Some are skittish—but I don't mind those. It's the… ah. The angry ones. Big guns, baggy pants. Terrible." Ey sighed.
"Oh!" Grilka perked up a bit with interest, head cocked to the side. "Very clever," ey said, "if you need to be more useful than pretty." Ey must have encountered such things before, but it was likely that at the time ey'd simply assumed ey'd torn their nail off and thought no more about it. It made sense, anyway, in the same vein as the lashes ey sometimes wore to amuse emself. Little glued-on bits of expectations.
His wandering fingers were an amusing novelty; it was rare for anyone but Xotll to touch em so gently. More often little aliens like this would avoid touching em entirely, or else end up grabbing at em in a panic. Ey restrained a purr.
Ey did not often restrain emself, but visibly enjoying such a chaste touch felt unseemly. Ey had a reputation to maintain.
Grilka rattled another laugh at the man's obvious shock, grinning a wide anglerfish grin. "Yes," ey said, "I am very impressive." Ey preened a bit, taking a drag of eir cigarette and tilting eir head back to exhale smoke upward through eir teeth.
Ey hummed, in a rolling sort of way. So direct! "Two," ey corrected, holding up two sharp fingers on a hand not currently occupied. "All Krotazi have two." Ey grinned again, too many too-sharp teeth. "No Krotazi have… hm." Ey took eir two free hands, and made a crude gesture poking between the loop of two fingers. "Cunts," ey decided. "We make our own. Very messy. It kills Krotazi also, but humans would die faster." Ey sighed smoke. "So we can only play," ey said. "Harmless fun."
Ey reached out to idly toy with some of his hair with the tips of eir talons. "Many questions," ey agreed. "You like to talk for so long?" ey wondered. The far end of eir tail had been creeping closer, the wide sweep of it that would eventually bring it to a patient circle.
