[AJ was never one to catch on to subtleties; she'd been cloned from someone who was crass and often thoughtless, and had been modified for even fewer values towards etiquette--or morals, really...
But she had been trying harder than perhaps she had in her entire life to understand and to fit in to this messy, unorganized, motley camp, and she can see that Nill has been growing more uncomfortable by the minute. Rather than go for the jugular, like she normally would, AJ makes a concerted effort to back off.
She runs her bony fingers through her heavily haired scalp and casts a glare off to one side.]
It's not your fault, or anything, I'm not trying to shit on your day. I just have a thing about it. That you're willing to help at all means... a lot, I mean, nobody ever really offered shit like this before that wasn't sort of a trap to get me not to stick out like a sore thumb, so I was on edge.
How about I drop a bag of lizards off in a couple of days? I know where they like to nest. If everything hasn't all gone to hell, I should have a good brace of them.
