[ . . . . there's a frown at that, because she has trouble grasping it.

'the justice of one of their creation's is more worthy than another's' - but couldn't that be said the same for humans. what is the version of justice for a person who will use their power to hurt others? that's not justice, even though someone might falsely call it so -

but that is just what lili thinks.

she struggles to actually voice any of that out loud, because it would feel like cheapening his explanation]

.... that sort of way of life sounds difficult, Shess.

It is what it is. I can't conceive being anything but a sura, but I wouldn't wish our way of life on others either.

As I said, I like humans. We may not have agreeing mindsets, but hold onto your beliefs, Lili. I think they'll guide you well.

You don't need to talk like you're older than me, you know.

[this is being LECTURED and she doesn't hate it as much bc shess has generally been pretty supportive of her]

You don't even look old! The dissonance is too much!

should he apologize for looking young?]

That's not exactly my fault.

It's odd, and I don't appreciate being spoken to as if you're my grandfather.

You probably think I'm a child, don't you?

[oh dear]

You're mature for your age.

.... Should I give you credit for trying to avoid saying yes....

It's a difficult question. In certain ways, a seventeen-year-old human could be less of a child than a sura of a thousand years. The way we age is very different.
