To Rillean regarding "Gin"

[Dratai]

Rillean looked almost condencending, but nevertheless, she didn't have to force the smile that soon spread over her lips.

My good gentleman, you misunderstand the nature which is 'gin'.
You misunderstand also that which is me.
You're welcome to ask her for details, if she has not told you about -her-.
As for gendering him, her, they, it's difficult, even for science. What do you call something that has yet to develop indicators of gender?
But I'd doubt our little one would tell either of us just like that.

She's crafty like that. But I wanted more for her.
More than just running. Hiding.
More than a... Well, that's besides the point isn't it?

I didn't think anything of you, dear commander. If you want a real insult, that is.

Now.. More to the point.
For your question, It's wildlife from the outer worlds. Such as Omicron.
But moreso than that, it has something of mine inside of it, too.
I may not be innocent in this 'case'.. Like you say. I carved things, I watched one of the professors get torn to shreds. I caused her much suffering.

There are some things in life a person must do, whether they want it or not. This was one of those times.
This is also why I her loose. Just grabbed her and ran.
My freedom is as much her freedom.

You're free to do as you see fit.
I have my eye on you, even if you don't see me.
That is why I would risk her tagging along with pirates. I can still intervene in my own way.
What I cannot do is show her all truths. The nasty ones and the painted picture ones, too.

If you wish to take this into your hands, however, I need to warn you.
At the base of that cute looking thing we made is a true monster.
An animal which has the intelligence and dexterity for tools, and the predatory instinct to use them.
I've done my best to inhibit them.
The rest is up to 'Gin' herself.

And you Gin? I thought you were refusing to name yourself?
Tsk, Tsk. Naughty child.

She smiled warmly, but her eyes hinted to a deeper pain.
