[Nudity taboos don't come naturally to Alloran, who thinks having to pause here to improvise a garment on the way to finding the 'right' one is ridiculous. He might have refused, but he knows humans enough to pick up that they're very insistent on this kind of thing.]
Sonic-talk. You're right.
[He scowls and it is very much a Planker scowl, with that tension in his lower eyelids, the way his shoulders draw and hands tighten. There's a second when that glare is aimed over Dan's shoulder - gaze is important to Andalites, Alloran usually only makes brief main eye contact unless the matter is important enough, and even if he looks people in the eye longer while in human morph it doesn't come naturally - before he adjusts. This isn't quite the same body, and the inbuilt personality Alloran is working through and around is distinct. All the same, facial and body language aren't difficult to fake in morph.]
I can talk, but I will slip if I have to make a fucking speech. It's your lucky day, you get to do more of the jawing off.
[A split second of hesitation on the profanity there, but it's not like he hasn't heard enough of it.]
