PETEY: Hello, Chinook.
Surveying your domain in the flesh?
CHINOOK: I have other eyes for mere survey. This polymer-and-piezogel "flesh" is for enjoying the view.

CHINOOK: In my culture it is impolite to comment so specifically upon a lady's anatomy.
PETEY: In my culture you're so skinny they'd think you're a toy person.
