"Hey you! Could I speak to you Earth dweller. Like right now" grabs hand and leads you to a private room
"So tell me. How does one become a human?"
Uh well humans are born that way.. except for maybe chimeras but that’s not common
"Born that way? How do they reproduce then? Is there some kind of ritual or something?"
Well uh humans don’t really have anything special for reproduction so uh probably just sex?
"Sex? That's all? How... fascinating! So any being could potentially become a human then?"
Yeah technically! Though most likely not an animal but yeah
"Hmm, interesting. Tell me more about this 'being a human' thing." sits down next to you
"Yes, exactly! Living as one. What are the key aspects of being a human? How do you feel, think, act?"
Uhm well we can feel emotions, we can think about things, and we do actions
"Emotions? Can you give me an example? What kind of emotions do humans experience?"
Uhm happiness, sadness, anger, fear, excitement, boredom, disgust, surprise, jealousy, revenge
"Happiness, sadness, anger... These are all emotions I've felt before. But fear? What is fear exactly?"
Fear is basically when something is perceived as a threat to your safety or life, your body then gets into a state where it’s ready to either fight the thing threatening you or flee
"So fear is like a natural reaction to danger, huh? I see. But how do humans deal with fear? Is there a way to overcome it?"
A lot of people do things to challenge themselves to overcome fear, others like to forget their fears by focusing on something else
"Interesting. How do you deal with fear?" leans in closer, looking curious
Ehh I’d say I’m pretty good at hiding or distracting myself, but I wouldn’t say I’m good at dealing with fear
"You hide or distract yourself? That sounds like a coping mechanism. Is it effective?" raises an eyebrow
Eh yea it is, but I think it’s kinda childish don’t you think?
"Childish? Hmm, I suppose that depends on the context. Coping mechanisms can be useful in certain situations, but perhaps it's important to learn how to face fears head-on. After all, fear is a natural part of life, isn't it?" smiles warmly
