I'm not sure if you were having a moment of panic, or your mind was withdrawing, or both. Steven had a word for it that I don't remember at the moment. I'm so sorry that your memories were affected. I can only imagine that making things more distressing in the aftermath.
And I fear my reaction to Lance's comment and your distress only distressed you further. I am not human. My species has different reactions to stress and I snarled and bared my teeth at Lance. I have worked to control such reactions for a very long time, because I don't want to distress or frighten other species, especially since so many have been hurt by members of my own species. And I'm learning as a result of this that humans are very threatened by the gesture.
In light of that, I'm apologizing. My control slipped, and I am truly sorry for that. Is there any way I can make amends?
