Ax looked up at the young human male, then pushed some of the hairs away from his eyes to get a better look. This head covering was restrictive and annoying, and served mostly to remind him that he only had two eyes now. He did not like the feeling that anyone could sneak up on him from behind.
"I was not," he told the human. "I do not understand, stan-duh, the purpose of this punishment." He stopped moving the sponge across the floor to consider the human. He appeared to be older than Ax, and not yet an adult, but Ax was still not a reliable judge of these things. "The ones who caused the disturbance should be the ones cleaning-ing." He had little information from which to determine the purpose of this place, but causing humans to resent each other didn't seem productive.
Perhaps there was a reason for it he did not understand. Ax recognized that it was possible he was unable to think this through due to his embarrassment and worry over being stuck in this body. Human emotions were not, in general, pleasant. They affected the entire system in ways he was unused to.
