I've been rereading Halfway Human again (for the...5th time?) and this quote gets me every time I read it:
Ugh, Telda. You precious, wonderful soul. I just want to wrap you up in my arms and hug you forever.
I want to write a fic where Tedla decides that they're not using 'it' as their preferred pronoun anymore.
Val said awkwardly, "Tedla, which should we call you - 'he' or 'she'?"
"Actually, your word 'it' is closest to the pronoun we use on my planet," Tedla said. "We even use the same word to refer to animals and inanimate objects, like you do."
"I don't know. 'It' seems slightly...derogatory."
"Well then, that's an accurate translation, too."
