"So you're not human then? The uh...blue thing sort of gave that away." He'd come across plenty of aliens during the war but none that looked humanoid. The Covenant were almost uniformly scaled and quilled, like monsters out of a child's nightmares. "They grow their children? Like in a test tube? Because that's not the norm for humans where I come from." He'd already known there was something deeply different in the Cetagandan culture from anything he was familiar with but this just served to further prove the point. It was like they weren't even human as he knew it and that was a disturbing distinction he wasn't comfortable even considering.
