[@rocketrobie2][@pyroman][@GrizzTheMauler][@LadyRunic] [b]Christopher Harris[/b] Christopher looked at her, his face contorting. She was the tiger from earlier. She seemed to be channeling some kind of pseudo-enlightened naturalist position - something he did not appreciate. It was all good and well to feel sorry for insulting someone you had just met - but when they continue to challenge your ire then perhaps that initial dislike was more well founded than anyone might have realized. He rose an eyebrow - plastering a smirk on his mouth. His eyes flicked between the other's, noting Heidi's words, and her reserved distress - the teleporter whom he still felt a little bad about insulting earlier, before finally fixing on the animorph once more. There was no reason for panic. Everything might go wrong, but then again - most likely, it won't prove fatalistic. Their caretakers were professionals after-all. [b]"Hardly, all experience can be boiled down to reactionary systems within the observable world, and the statistical variants that govern the outcomes of these reactions. Very few things are assured, I grant you - but then again, the things you do claim assuredness of are merely your expectations of these phenomena and your internalized comparison of past similar situations. Therefore yes, life is never a surety, but our assumptions as to the continuation of life need not be. An entire field of mathematics and finance could attest to that. So no need for your fatalistic dramatics."[/b] He sat back and took a deep breath. Everything was going to be fine. He just needed to relax and learn from this experience.
