"I asked for none of it."

His answer is quick, sharp; it is a crack of a whip across the festivities, even if it is only audible to the two of them. There is a faint twist of his features afterward; he is not prone to outbursts like that, does not favor them. Yet here one rests between them.

"I did not ask to be put through a ritual and murdered when I was nothing and no one." He is forced to take a breath, to be less like a shark savaging through prey, less like the waters of a storm. He is not human. He perceives things differently, even if it is different here than in his own world. He must remember that. "I did not ask for prayers. I ask for nothing but that people try to be interesting, and even then, I seldom ask it in person."

Unless they're already interesting, it's not worth his time.
