301--Friendship

According to Cialdini in your reading this week, similarity leads to liking, liking to a desire for reciprocity, reciprocity to a state of trust and intimacy, and trust and intimacy to the friendship bond.

With this in mind, as well as yesterday's activity--heck, gang, you've been asked to inteact a lot, lets say all the activities this term--what do you think about the new Human/Non-Human Alliance that is being started? Do we really need it? Is there a problem that exists between dissimilar students? Why? Please...do not hold back. This class is about communicating and we need your full cooperation. If you would prefer to write it down and share it only with me, you may do so. Ok, kiddlies, tell me how it is.

::shrugs:: Dunno if we really need it. I mean, once everybody got used to all the...the weird dren that happens around here, I know I haven't really had any problem other than the odd look every once in a while. And I've known that you humans were farbohtz for cycles now, so I don't mind. ::grins::

::pauses, thinking:: Then again, it couldn't hurt. I mean, when certain unnamed ethical assignments have some non-humans questioning whether...whether they're actually safe here... it would be nice to have some sort of thing like this as reinforcement.

Reinforcement? What would you like to see come of this, Chiana? Now that we're gaining normalcy, and fostering friendships, what do you feel the role of a human/non-human Alliance should be?

Remembering that she and Chiana did an in-class exercise together one time, she decides to ask her for a pencil too.

Passes note that reads:

Chiana-

Do you have a pencil I can borrow? I may not get it back until after class, but I would appreciate it.
