Malik has been avoiding Mr. Gray like the plague ever since that little assaulting-and-kidnapping incident a few days ago. He regrets the necessity of it; he'd liked showing off for Gray, before Mr. Hardaway had started beating on him, and while he is extremely keen to avoid the awkwardness of having to attempt to talk to someone you helped attack, in a language you don't really speak, he doesn't know of anyone else who is anywhere near as impressed by his mutation. Except Suresh, and Malik avoids him too, as conversations with him always seem to end with blood getting sucked out of his arm and put under a lens for study.

Yes. He'll talk to Jin Yoon. Even if they are blasphemers, at least they can blaspheme together. He raps on the door of her quarters with the flat of one webbed hand.
