...Not looking at Lust. Definitely not looking at Lust.
Keman nodded, eyes still firmly fixed on the road outside. "There are! Actually, none of my friends from home are completely human. Half-human, certainly, but not full-human. And elvish. Valyn's an elf."
He glanced at Lust and smiled. "Lacking in technology?" he echoed, teasingly. Now that he was calming down again, he was feeling like his old self. "No, just lacking in technology that is as advanced as yours. All civilized societies have technology. Technology can be as simple (and anachronistic) as a rock pounded into a sharp edge to create a tool. I'd say that this world and yours are quite a ways ahead of mine, in terms of technological advancement, but that doesn't mean we haven't got technology."
Okay, so that had been a little snobbish of him. But he was feeling awfully defensive of his homeworld, as bad a place as it was.
"They are," the young dragon-turned-halfblood agreed, stretching his back. It had gone rather stiff. "I mean, I've been human before. And elvish. And a halfblood--half elf, half human--like I am now. I'm a shapeshifter, you see. But walking on two legs is much more inconvenient than walking on four. I always feel like I'm going to overbalance!"
