"Oh my God," Sam said under his breath. "Is it too late for me to take it back?"

Rhetorical question. It was definitely too late for him to take it back.

He was watching it, trying to figure out how it talked without a face or a mouth (he'd definitely seen species that had other ways of vocalizing, but most of those still involved anatomy he didn't see here), but every time it blurred, his head felt like it was spinning.

Well, okay, it might be giving him a headache just by existing, but on the other hand, at least it was polite enough to introduce itself before...before stuff they were definitely not going to let it do.

"Hi," he replied, lifting to hover a little higher off the ground, because no. "That's, uh, really not gonna work for us, so we'll have to pass."
