Hythlo? What the hell does it mean that I can tell Runaan I'm not human anymore and it doesn't feel wrong when I say it?

Yes. Because it was drummed into me as a kid by a family who hoped to put the breaks on me. And it was a damn useful one.

And I mean. I *was* human. Not very *good* at being one. But from a sheer physical standpoint, I was. And then I wasn't. And then I came here and I was given my old body back, aged to fit, and I was physically human again and it was easier, almost, to say I was human. Because physically I was. I wasn't denying I was a Changeling. But it was like that had been layered over my purported humanity.

Thace said I was like a Galra once. I don't know why it felt so good when he did.
