Summary
Most of Beta’s interactions with new people had so far been driven by a desperate need to see how potentially alike she was to others. It was refreshing and even somewhat exciting to instead approach someone from the opposite direction. With the assumption that neither of them will have anything in common and then, gradually, prove the contrary. Many Old World paleontologists had met their folly trying to prophesize the full reflection of a creature before they had gathered enough evidence to know what it looked like for certain. As though they could precognitively foretell the structure of a skeleton from a scant few fossils alone. It yielded a better result to slowly brush the dirt away with a delicate hand, square by square. In the end, you would always know more.
