Somi was a little surprised at how simply Sturg talked about being the last of his species. She guessed that if she thought she was the last paramite she wouldn't talk about it quite as calmly as he did.
However, she was eager to voice her opinion about vykkers. "I know a mudokon who was really mistreated by vykkers. She never really told me what they did to her, but it really makes her sad, and she hates all of them. That vykker you saw earlier was either trying to catch you or kill you Sturg. They wouldn't care if you were the last meech on the planet. All they like doing is hurting and killing everything else."
Jim, who for obvious reasons was unable to participate in the conversation, kept quiet and stayed towards the back of the group as they passed by Anni's garden.
