[Evan pulls a little grimace.] That's not surprising. Humans aren't always all that good at empathy. Whoever designs droids should give them big eyes and fur; I bet that'd net them better treatment by most people, at least.

[But maybe this isn't something he should be jokey about. Evan shakes his head.] I mean, that's a salient point, too. Who builds droids? You'd think they'd know they're making sentient creatures, at least, and have some sort of proper-usage guidelines.
