Smudge: Mmmm, lunchtime! Can't wait! *rubs his hands together greedily*
*Correl takes a long look at Ammy, then motions for Vince to come to him*
Vince(walking over): What?
Correl(softly): The small one...you should watch over her, as you did Jayne. She may be frightened and feel alone.
Vince: But... Look, Jayne protected me , not the other way around!
Correl: Sometimes the best protection is the one unseen: protection from one's own fearful thoughts. Jayne protected you from the trouble you liked to get into; but you saved her from her own harsh opinions of herself.
Vince:....alright...*glances quickly up at Ammy, but looks away, as if unsure*
Correl: You will do fine. *smiles slowly, then moves toward Jayne*
Jayne(heading for production lines): Hey Vince! Ya comin'? Let's get goin'! *heads of at a steady pace, letting Correl use her arm for support*
Vince: Coming... *glances at Ammy again and smiles, trying to show friendliness. Then heads off after Jayne and Correl*
----as they're going to the production lines----
Jayne: I hope we see that poet dude around. He seems kinda fun...especially in a place like this!
Correl: Ugh! He is a slig. We should not communicate with him.
*Jayne breaks into the giggles*
Jayne: Oh c'mon, gramps! Just 'cause he's a slig doesn't mean he's cruel !
Correl(sarcastically): Oh, it doesn't?
Vince: I think Correl's right. We should stick with our own kind. Don't forget about that slig you met up with, Jayne. I'd think you'd be more cautious.
Jayne: Cautious, yeah. But not prejudiced! Jeez, you guys are such sissies.
Correl: *sigh*......You will never learn.....
*They arrive at the production lines....*
