About the philosophical discussion, by contrast, he (perhaps ironically) felt much more in his depths. He gave a little shake of his head. "Actually, it is different in my world, at least fairly. Inevitably, there are the parochial humans, the short sighted separatists, those sort. But humans are, and have always been, one race among many, and the differences between the races are at least as great as the mutations you describe.
"Between a human and an asura there is very little in common, and the best one could say for human relations with the charr is that they're finally approaching some sort of peace accord after having been at war for over two hundred years.
"Did humans mistrust sylvari when we first appeared? Certainly, they were a little suspicious. Not rarely have I been called a 'walking fern.' But then people mostly get on with their business, because there's too much in the world that's different from them to get all preoccupied with it.
"If you'll forgive my saying so, it seems to me that humans being the only race in your world has given them something of an inflated sense of self-importance. Have they really got nothing better to do than obsess over whether their fleshling has an ability that they don't?"
He took a bite of his toast and promptly made a bit of a face. It wasn't awful, but, "That's much better with peanut butter and bananas on it."
