As I woke this day, I was surprised to see Drlprl quietly waiting for me. I am unsure how long he was standing there waiting. Was he there all night? The more I think about it, the less I really want to know how long he was watching me sleep. As I sat up, he said he had some questions about humans that he didn't quite understand and was hoping for some clarity.
Drlprl first asked why humans eat meals together. I told him that humans use meal time to socialize and talk with one another.
He then immediately asked why humans talk so much about things that are not immediately pertinent or actionable. I replied that humans are a very social species and it is in our nature to want to speak with others. And sometimes we socialize for the only reason of sharing company or entertainment.
He nodded and walked away. I started my day befuddled.
