Oh, I was wondering if it was something like that--well, that you were some sort of supernatural, anyway. I mean, I wasn't going to bring it up if you weren't comfortable--and there was always a chance you were just a bear with pronounced canines--but you *do* have those lovely teeth, after all. So if you're a werewolf, that does make sense.
(Ah, not that I expect it's quite the same from world to world, but even so.)
But yeah. Back home there's kind of this... whole justified fear of becoming like the people who took us, so Lance's bullshit kind of hit right there, because even though I wasn't taken for those kinds of purposes, I've known people who had been. And with Thace, well, what Lance said probably reminded him of what he calls the 'cultural corruption' of his people. (There was a very nasty, very long-lived emperor who put some awful practices into place, from what I understand.)
