Grace grumbled to himself, deliberately not looking at his unwanted companion, but this weedy slig's playful attitude ground his nerves and after a couple of minutes, he twisted round and confronted him, "You realise this isn't some stupid game!

Harsh he might sound, but he had seen too many sligs killed by native mudokons to be polite to a young, factory-raised moron slurg.
