Keman had met a few new patients on their first night, but this was the first time he'd ever been...accosted like this. And all for being 'seventeen,' too. What was it about his age that had the guy so annoyed? And why was twenty any different? Some sort of coming-of-age thing in the new patient's society, he supposed. But what was a 'minor'?
"A minor what?" he asked, curious. A minor infraction? A minor mistake? A minor incident? A minor problem?
Then everything slid into place and Keman started to make connections. He colored vividly. "Wait, you think I'm here to meet a concubine?! I'm not...I'm confused. I mean, I think you're a bit confused. I don't think you're where you think you are."
Wow. That was eloquent. He took a deep breath and combed his fingers through his natural perm hair, trying to regain a little of his composure.
"Let's start over. My name is Keman. What's yours?"
