Ax was not entirely certain about coming to this 'sleepover,' and he approached the site cautiously, glancing all around with his stalk eyes, and trying not to show his apprehension about being so different from all the other children he had seen on the strange and primitive network.

But the older human male who had encouraged all of them to come here seemed very kind, and he had not seemed to think Ax was terribly odd. And Ax was very curious, especially since hearing he would spend a lot of time in human morph in his future.

Elfangor had belatedly heard about this man offering sweets to children. While sweets were inherently a good thing, he had spent enough time on Earth to be wary about strangers handing out candy and the like. So, like the good older brother he tried to be, he stuck close to Aximili as they approached the outpost, keeping an alert eye out for any sign of trickery or danger.

< It may not be what you are expecting, > he quietly warned his brother. < Humans eat with their mouths, so it will possibly taste very different to your hooves. >

< They... what? >

That was disgusting! Of course, Ax was even more curious to find out how that worked now. He imagined humans trying to walk on their funny two legs and two arms, with their faces close to the ground to graze. Surely they would be even more unstable that way!

< How? >

Elfangor could easily assume what Aximili was imagining, having thought the same thing when he first learned of humans and how they functioned, and couldn't help but laugh.

< They do not eat grass as we do. They rely on a wider variety of foods, often processed because there are so many of them on their planet--they do not have enough space to grow their own food, in most of their living units. > He did not feel it appropriate to go into how humans were also omnivores rather than herbivores, concerned that it might put Aximili off too much.

< When they eat, they bring their food to their mouth-- > He pointed, on his own face, to where a human mouth would be, < and rend the food with sharp protrusions. Teeth. The food then goes from there, through passages called the throat and esophagus, to their stomach. Yes, they have only one stomach. >

That was completely ridiculous, as well as disgusting. Ax had to laugh silently at it all, too. It was not that he did not believe Elfangor, who of course knew nearly everything. It was just that the way humans were made did not make any sense!

< I thought communicating with mouth sounds was weird! >

He wondered if he would see humans eating at the party, and if it would be as bizarre and unappetizing as it sounded.
