Well, it's not an emotion just for humans. [Obviously, since he wasn't human. But he couldn't deny that some species didn't feel it the same as others in any case.]
Maybe it just... manifests differently for your species? [A pause as he shrugs.] I... didn't really think I was capable of feeling this way for anyone either. The whole concept of it just seemed like a tedious waste of time.
[But he didn't regret any of it.] I guess it can be. It's a pretty simple instinct but, it's complicated in the sense that there are so many different types or things you could like. Figuring all that out is part of the fun though.
[Cough. Not that he was experienced in a whole lot. But what he did manage to figure out was exciting.]
