"They're fascinating," Theta defended, "and they're…"
"Primitive, pathetic, disgusting… I can do this all night."

"Koschei! Shut Up!"
Koschei jumped at Theta's outburst. "Theta… I was joking…"
"Well, you make fun of them, and me, all the time. So shut up."
Theta got up and walked out onto the terrace outside the room. Koschei watched him leave, and the much hated feeling of guilt filled his chest.
"Sorry," he whispered.
