    Summary

    You were perplexed by the manner of speaking. It sounded almost like that of a raven or parrot talking; that throaty, mimic-y kind of speech. A lyre bird pretending to be a car alarm. A mockingbird mewling like a catbird. Of course the alien had better articulation and comprehension than a bird, as you could tell they were manipulating their tongue like a human did. It wasn’t all just vocal chord clenching and unclenching.

    “We people of-” the word was incomprehensible, perhaps an alien word. It whistled like song, the multicolor flaps flattening somewhat and expanding with it. You wondered if those helped their species talk, like a frog’s air sack when croaking.
