CW: Discussion of racism continues

[Lance grins slightly.] Yeah totally, it'll be totally cool to have a non-Pthumerian to hang out with. It gets kinda lonely out here, y'know… [And with that, the question of missing being human becomes really relevant to his mood.] Yeah… I miss it.

[And he doesn't really wanna think about it beyond that point, so he moves on and nods in confirmation of Luca's question. Then he tilts his head thinking about the difference of the way sea monsters view color. His nose crinkles at the gross visual of that, organs thing, though.]

Dude, seriously? Gross man. But I think maybe it has something to do with the way humans evolved or something.

[He shrugs uncomfortably. He grew up in a future that was a bit more accepting compared to a lot of eras in human history. They'd invented hover craft and were making manned expeditions to Pluto. And he'd dealt with racism growing up, definitely… but nothing like what he experienced in Deerington, it was deeply uncomfortable and he was in no way an expert on the why, just on how it felt. And he doesn't want to talk about how it felt. Then Luca poses that question and he looks surprised by it for a moment and then chuckles.]

It just means if you're a boy, you like girls and if you're a girl, you like boys. Y'know… in that way.
