[While she takes a curious look at Mae, she doesn't look too surprised? More analytical than anything. Aphra is a scientist, after all.]

Well, it's human. And what about you? Cat? We've got those in my galaxy too, but they're more like your rats. Not sentient or anything.

[witchdaggah]

Are you sure on the sentient thing? I'm pretty sentient! Maybe there's a me in your... galaxy? I've never heard of humans or anything but there's like, a lot of you here? I haven't seen any mes at all.

[archaeo]

I've never met an alien like you, but there're species that are sorta close? Togorians, Trianii, Zygerrians... No clue why this place is mostly humans, though. Kinda boring if you ask me.

[Then she has an idea and shuffles around for a bit. When she sits still, she's holding a purple cat!]

This is Flufto. He's different from you, yeah? He's what my galaxy would call a cat. So, not sentient.

[witchdaggah]

Oh yeah, we got those, too? Like, I am a cat. I used to baby sit some, too! Actually I might still be owed from that??

[ owed THANKS!! THAT IS! ]

[archaeo]

Wait, really.

[MAE THIS IS SO WEIRD THIS IS LIKE A GOOFY AND PLUTO SITUATION AND SHE CAN HANDLE TALKING CATS AND CAT PEOPLE BUT]

Like... the cats you babysat weren't just uh, kittens. Or well, I mean like kids? Tiny younger versions of you? Are you saying they were like Flufto? Like the not talking, not thinking kind.

[witchdaggah]

Like... yes to all? I don't know. You're making me think about it too much. I usually don't.

[ IT'S JUST GOOFY AND PLUTO!!!!! ALL OVER!!! BUT WITH CATS ] Kids are kind of like animals anyway.

[archaeo]

Well, yeah, but...

[If Flufto was a palm-sized human adjacent creature, that'd be weird probably? Maybe? Aphra's kinda awful anyways.]

Is this the first time you've thought about it? Because. It's weird.
