I just noticed the blue blush forming on her face. Excellent touch!

2020-03-15 20:32:21 +0000 UTCThats a long way, plot-developments, and allot of build up to get to this situation to achieve this joke. Well done sir, very well done. I laughed hard at this.

2020-03-01 08:46:08 +0000 UTCI have seen comedians from some minority groups working in the differences in their own cultural background into their routine. So, 20-30 years later an loroi immigrant on earth run a comedy show with jokes based on misunderstandings like this...

2020-03-01 08:37:47 +0000 UTCI guess the Soia didn't bother to translate cows to their Soia lorien genome. In their defence, the cows didn't really exist when they paid our ancestors a visit. Later they domesticated something wild and breeded into the docile cows we today treat with such lovingly care (before we turn on the grill). Some of the meat, if any, in Alex stroganoff may come from cows. I also suspect that dogs didn't get translated either of basically the same reason. At some point Alex could be forced exactly WHY we call our galaxy "The Milky Way", in English at least. Here in Sweden, translated to English we name it "The Winter Street", I dunno why but I can guess.

2020-03-01 07:34:14 +0000 UTCI'm not sure exactly what you mean.
Arioch
2020-03-01 07:14:46 +0000 UTCWhile the ensuing hilarity is inevitable, it might be funnier if Alex knows why people drink milk, and how and why even lactose intolerant people can consume dairy. The Loroi's reaction to his explanation would also be pretty funny to see either way.
Mykola Stepchuk
2020-03-01 07:05:49 +0000 UTCWell at least we know what he will be talking about on page 176. Unless the chapter ends right here, which would be awkward but funny. Chapter 3! Cue the splash page showing the vastness of space, with an empty (and broken) bottle of milk.

2020-03-01 07:01:06 +0000 UTCAs I understand it, it's relatively difficult to milk wild animals, or even domestic animals which are not specifically bred for milking (I've never tried to milk a cat, but I don't expect it would be easy.) There were no dairy animals among those Soia-Liron livestock that survived on Deinar, and the Loroi there never developed a tradition of dairy farming.
Arioch
2020-03-01 06:56:41 +0000 UTCGuess the Lorai never invented dairy farming. Must be a strange concept to drink the milk of other animals. Do they have wildlife that even produces milk like them? Alien mammals?
