Security guy: It’s important at a convention to keep well hydrated and eat regular meals! Come to the panelist suite. You can have snacks to get your blood sugar up.
Patrick: It isn’t a problem with her blood sugar!
Jany: Yeah? And what would you know about it?
Patrick: Well, being somewhat familiar with this area . . .
. . . I probably should have thought of an ending to that sentence before starting it.
Jany: We’re leaving.
Did I hear it wrong, or did that guy call you some name, too?
Kara Lynn: Name? No . . .
Patrick: . . . it’s a word. Did I use the wrong language? The English version says “lizard.”



Hey face-palmed just when Bianca did too!
Poor Jany. She’s still reeling from her parents’ abuse of Kara Lynn, so she’s stuck with creepy male view and doesn’t even think that another Being might be around.
Aww, Patrick >.< It's OK, bby, you tried.
I understand Jany's viewpoint, but I find it frustrating nonetheless – I'm having that reader problem of "but he's the protagonist, you can trust him!"
I always get the fuzzies when I see waged security personnel voluntarily being courteous and helpful to people. ^^
…you can tell I’ve had my share of utterly unhelpful security, right?
And one missed opportunity to meet some friendly faces that seem to share at least some views about beings, one… -__-
