No matter how much I linger, I never see Barlia around town. There’s always an odd job or two that needs to be done around Port, even if you’re praxiian. While I’m not loved by the locals, I make sure that the Port custodians are aware of my movements at all times. It feels a bit intrusive, but then I see the frightened looks that the human females shoot me. And that they give the same frightened looks to any male avian, ooli, or mesakkah that gets too close. In short, some of them are scared of all males.
