`` Hey, Steven?'' 
 
 `` Yeah?'' Steven shifted on his throne to face his counterpart. 
 
 `` You get the feeling that this is n't going to end well?'' 
 
 Steven scratched lazily at his chin. `` What do you mean?'' 
 
 Henrietta looked nervously to the creatures fawning before them, clicking and crooning unintelligibly. `` I mean, they're nice, right?'' 
 
 `` Yeah,'' Steven snapped his fingers, beckoning one of the creatures to bring further foodstuffs. `` I do n't see how that's a problem.'' 
 
 `` Right, but,'' Henrietta stumbled over her words. It still was n't clear if the things even understood English. They did n't seem to have any intent to translate their own strange speech, but they followed orders well enough. `` You know how sometimes someone is really nice to you for a long time?'' 
 
 `` Right,'' Steven answered, taking a glass from his subservient caretaker with a short sip. 
 
 `` And eventually they, you know, snap? Because they were looking for something from you that they did n't get?'' 
 
 `` I think you need better friends,'' Steven quipped, dismissing his benefactor with a wave. The creature remained by his side nonetheless. 
 
 Henrietta gave it a cautious look. `` Like, maybe they think we're going to give them something, right?'' 
 
 `` What the hell could we give them?'' Steven laughed. The creature at his side clicked and eyed him intently. At least, he was guessing those were its eyes that were staring at him. 
 
 `` That's the problem,'' Henrietta said. `` Either we have whatever wisdom they want and we just do n't know what it is, or we do n't have it and they're barking up the wrong tree.'' She looked away from the creatures and spoke in a low voice. `` Either way, I do n't see that ending well.'' 
 
 Steven tried to shoo his chitinous butler. It did n't budge, still peering at him with a row of enviously green eyes. `` I think I see what you mean.''
