The whole time Mindy was talking about showers, Guy had been mouthing 'blah blah blah blah' sarcastically. It was a sore spot for him, since Lestat had said all that stuff about him being dirty. He planned to clean up maybe a little more often than usual but in his humble opinion baths were highly overrated.
Guy sat up just enough to sip the drink - hot cider - and it meant the blanket over his eye briefly slipped off.
"Are you talking to me or -? Oh, you're talking to me." Not Mindy.
Guy put the drink down on the floor next to the nest and hunkered down again, pulling the blanket back over his eyes.
"I'm from Tomorrow. It's a place that doesn't have all these tall things and people crowded together. Everyone wanders and hunts and gathers food to get by and a few people live in caves but most people are nomads like me. We just wander the world our whole lives, seeing everything in it, and it's great because the world is so big and amazing."
He dredged up the words he'd heard in the arena.
"A guy I talked to in the arena said where I was from sounded liked the past where he was from. He had words for it: 'prehistoric' and 'paleolithic.'"
