Ed was still lying on his back, expressing his desire for friendly and non-aggressive relations. In the short span that he had been discovered and forced to show his soft and unguarded underbelly to the others present, a number of things had transpired. It seems that the voice he had spoke to initally was interested in friendly relations. The news eased his beating heart, knowing that he had one less enemy and one more ally. Then another voice made itself apparent, introducing himself and asked their previous profession back on Earth. 

The idea of 'previous occupation' made it sound like he actually wanted to quit. Farthest thing from truth, he was happy with life and was in his senior year...He actually wanted to keep on living. Others answered Lorek's question. One was a gardener/handyman and the other was a lawyer named Asteria. Peculiar bunch. None the less, he answered the voice known as Lorek. [color=chocolate]"College. Student. Senior. Year."[/color] Ed felt confident that he was getting more and more familiar on how to vocalize and pronounce words using this body's vocal chords. [color=chocolate]"My name is Edward Marsh, b-but you can call me Ed if you like."[/color] He wanted to make the somewhat tense situation a little less tense and thought that maybe a joke would help ease things over. [color=chocolate]"Wanna hear a joke about paper? Never mind, its tearable."[/color] It was a terrible joke. What more a pun. The feeling of embarrassment was too much and Ed simply covered his face with his front paws. Hoping to God, or who ever was listening, that the feeling would pass quickly.
