[ Spock is wearing a hat that he's likely been seen wearing around on either ship. It's a tricorn with shells affixed to it that seems very much in opposition to the way he otherwise carries himself. He's found that wearing the gifted hat is preferable to the commentary he's gotten about his ears when he goes without it. ]

Is anyone here aware of races or humanoid beings from this world with pointed ears? I seem to cause one particular crew member to have a very negative reaction to my appearance.

[ He pauses, as if he's just remembered he's wearing a completely ridiculous hat, and ducks his head to remove it. ]

I am confident that I can handle the man should he decide to attack me, but he did make what I believe to be an inebriated threat to my person, so I would recommend that anyone else take care if they have similar features to my own.

Sadly can't answer to what varieties of peoples there are on this world, love, you'll need the old guard for that, but it does make you wonder at just how dim he is.

( if he's reacting to only visible signs, he's going to miss the countless invisible ones that demarcate someone not being strictly human. )

I believe he was deeply inebriated, but I suspect he has not encountered another of my own race before as many here have required an explanation as to what it is.

[bravelyrunsaway]

Would he be any less of a fool knowing what group of people you're exactly from?

[intermingled]

Perhaps. I cannot say for sure, though he appears ignorant on many things.

[bravelyrunsaway]

Which leads me to believe the answer is closer to no than it is to yes. Tell me you didn't waste time trying to correct him as he was.

I corrected him briefly and moved on. I prefer knowledge to be shared, but I am not in the habit of wasting time.

Sensible trait to have, often enough. If you do happen to hear the good captain shares similar dislikes of shape-changers, mind passing along the word?

[intermingled]

I will inform you if I hear of any such prejudices. It would surprise me if there were not at least a few men with an illogical superstition on any topic or trait you could think of.

Superstitions have very little to do with logic as a whole, I find. Thank you ahead of time, love!
