Grace had been on the verge of leaving but turned at Skelros' question - Skelros; Skell; Skillya, he clicked what was odd about the slig. It was the first time he'd ever seen a female of his species and wondered why their darling mother hadn't killed her as soon as she hatched. He also took stock of the scars on her head, torso, hand, most of them pretty nasty. That meant either she was either a hero (as far as sligs went) or a trouble-maker.
He decided to test her. Gesturing to her scars, he grunted, "You step on a sleeping sloggie?" He'd almost gone a touch further and called her a very uncomplimentary word pertaining to a female canine, but he stopped himself; people were softer than they used to be, after all, and starting a fight on his first day might look bad; if at all possible, he'd like to
try and hold this job for longer than the last five.

Anni nodded, gently if firmly holding Lexi down from her face, "Well you know this place was abandoned for a couple of years after Abe escaped? Well by the time people took over - Arnie I guess, but I dunno if he bought it empty or off someone else - the animals had moved into the basement and completely taken over!" She was getting into the flow of things and babbling happily away to herself while Jim watched, rolling his eyes and still slightly nervous of the huge outlaw, "I dunno if the people who rebuilt did anything about them, but I know Arnie's tried a couple of times to chase them out and failed, so now they're pretty much left alone. I don't think they're even caught for food down there, except by the other animals of course. But they don't cause the factory any trouble unless anyone goes down there, which they never do, anyway!"
She paused and looked down at Lexi, "I dunno how Lexi would get on there, though. How does she get on with other paramites?" Slightly uncertainly she added, I could introduce her to Somi."
ooc: Anni and Somi were originally property of T-nex before she quit RPGing and back when we were all young and inexperienced, T-nex decided that Somi would be able to talk to mudokons and sligs and such, so she can. Just for future reference
