"It's been interesting, definitely, even from a purely scientific standpoint." Not that ZEX spent most of his time looking at humans with a dispassionate, analytical eye. "And I suppose it does make interaction with your species easier... my natural form seems to..." Searching for a word. "It has a tendency to make most humans uncomfortable. Or at least, the less open-minded humans uncomfortable." ZEX sighed and looked at his hands. "A human body certainly has its drawbacks though..."

ZEX blinked at her request. Any excuse to be touched by a human was a good one, in his opinion, even if he was gradually getting the hang of things. "Ah, yes, if you'd be willing. Human food is very strange to me! I never gave much thought to how your fangs might be used until I became human..."

If he'd become human. Not now. "Yes, I'm sure you're right. There must be some escape from here... it's just a matter of finding it."
