"Like my body needs to be covered when I take human form, lest I drive men,
and the occasional woman," she gives Taylor a small flash of a smile, "to
distraction. But the rest of the time my body couldn't possibly have that

being too different, I suppose."
She shakes her head. "I'm not hungry for approval the way I used to be. But
it stings because people on the Barge are usually better than they were in
the world I left behind. So I expect better now."
