Ralph looked annoyed. He turned to face the irritating creature (Krik

) and replied, "Explain myself? Why should I
explain myself to
you!? Where I came from is none of your business, and as for my skin colour - let's just say it's a fine example of the incompetence of vykkers. It wasn't intentional. Now," he finished with barely concealed sarcasm, "if you'll
excuse me, I've got more important things to do."
That wasn't quite true, he didn't really have anything important to do, but it made a good excuse. And besides,
anything was more important than exchanging words with a crazy vykker in his opinion.
