Were he more awake, his mind more alert, Soysauce might have recognized the obvious hints concerning the anger that AM was bottling up. He might have spotted the way AM's movements seemed agitated, noticed the clear frustration in the way his body had tensed up -- might have recognized the same aggression in those little signs that he'd so often guarded himself against back home. Signs that a wild animal was almost ready to go on the offensive, ready to hurt whatever was nearby.
A pity that in his rather disheveled state of mind, Soysauce merely dismissed all those signs as AM's own exhaustion showing through. That was reasonable, wasn't it? The great majority of the people stuck here were plagued by insomnia, and it was to be expected that the constant difficulty sleeping would cause a lot of aggression and anxiety.
"Eh -- what do I enjoy about ... being human." He parroted the words absentmindedly, glancing distractedly around AM's room in search of something to focus on. His thoughts were running awfully slow, and there was a significant pause before he answered in slow words, glancing up towards the ceiling as he pieced together his thoughts. "That's a rather difficult thing to answer, since I don't really have a, ah -- what's the term. Point of reference? It's not as if I've ever existed as anything other than a human."
A rather lame laugh as Soysauce started fidgeting with the bandage wrappers in his pocket for lack of anything better to keep himself focused with. "But if I had to answer, I suppose I enjoy being able to speak to other people? I imagine animals all have their own methods of communication, but -- it seems rather special with people, doesn't it? A little more heartfelt, more complex. And coming to understand another person's aspirations, what they might want to do or what they enjoy -- is something I appreciate greatly." His words petered off for a moment as Soysauce yawned, unable to hold back the exhaustion that filled his brain like cotton, before Soysauce gave a soft, somewhat sheepish laugh. "Ah, that's a little embarrassing to say out loud, I must admit. But that's my take on it." A brief pause before Soysauce looked to AM. "Is it -- difficult for you to find things enjoyable about being human?"
