Jil'tek was worried about his human. In the last two hours of their shift together, human James had been short and terse with his responses. He had even snapped at human Amy for leaving a box on the nightshift desk.
Finally, towards the end of the shift, he asked, "Human James, my dear, are you alright?"
"What do you mean?" Was human James's response.
"You appear to be upset."
His human sighed. "I'm sorry, hon. It's just I haven't eaten in six hours."
"And this makes you upset?"
Human Amy laughed. "He's hangry."
"The universal translator is having difficulty translating that word. What does 'hangry' mean?"
"It means he gets cranky when he's hungry. Our shifts are 12 Sol hours long, and we're only allowed two meals. Most humans ideally need three meals in that timespan. So towards the end of the shift, he gets crabby."
"So humans have evolved as predators to get angry when they need to eat?"
"Only some of us do, but yes."
"Deathworlders are terrifying. I am so glad you guys do the packbonding thing. I'll make sure to bring human-safe snacks from now on."
"That's probably a good idea."

Good morning? I spent all this effort digging out from under my hidey hut, and my plate is still completely empty!? This is most definitely not a good morning!

Peel back the film lid. Only the edges peel off.
Shake Well. You notice this message after opening.
Tear here. It does not, in fact, tear here.

sometimes i like to ask myself, “what would bee from bee and puppycat do about this?” and the answer is she would probably not be nearly as angry as me

Today was RAMPAGE day! I rampaged for more than 9 hours straight, starting before 8am this morning! I even flipped over my hidey hut mansion from Waffles @wafflesworld! I also cleaned off my plate like a bottomless pit!
I ran over to Mom as soon as she came in the door to GRUMP at her for being gone all day. Mom called my enclosure a "disaster", cleaned and tidied everything for me, and gave me three snacks because I kept begging for more! Mom said no more, so I rampaged even more while Mom ate her dinner!
