It depends on the troll, and which lusus 8ecomes their guardian. I would say it's pretty uncommon, 8ut definitely not unheard of.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I just kind of won the lusus lottery. ::::/
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
To clarify a little, a 3 sweep old troll would 8e equivalent to a 6 year old human.
no subject
Won, or lost? Bumping it up to six keeps it the same for krogan or vorcha, and we're still probably not including other species.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Except maybe Kree.
no subject
Lost might 8e a 8etter word. I h8ed my lusus.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I only knew one other troll who got kind of a 8ad 8r8k with her lusus, 8ut that was what she got for 8eing 8orn into Alternian royalty. And she had help taking care of hers!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I dealt with mine all alone. I was the only one strong enough to handle her!
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Haha. Yeah, Noh-Varr told me a8out how his species raises warriors from a young age.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
It's weird to me that it's our cultures that are strange, you know? Humans have all these moral hang ups a8out children that I'll never really get.
no subject
I'm sorry you didn't like your guardian.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Our cultures aren't strange. Human culture is strange. ;}
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
But I think it has a lot to do with evolution, if I was gonna make a guess. I mean, look at them. They don't have talons, or sharp teeth, or horns. Their young require a lot more care.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Can't count how many times humans I know have asked others if they were dropped on the head as an infant. Not really a worry for turian young.
no subject
It's ok. That was all a long time ago, anyway.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Haha! Right? Well said. ::::)
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
I hadn't thought a8out it that way, 8ut that's a good point. Even the weakest trolls are hatched with natural defenses. A lot of low8loods end up with cool telekinetic powers, for instance.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Humans 8n't 8orn with shit! It's sort of depressing. Small humans can't even fend for themselves. How have they not all died out as a species?
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Especially if they're all dropping each other on their soft, squishy heads. ::::/ Does that really happen a lot?
no subject
They can't even eat right away. Or not eat solid things, from what I gather, take years to learn how to walk. I don't know how they made it.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Maybe? Haven't really been around humans with infants. Spend most of my time with soldiers, after all.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Though you gotta be impressed by the fact that they did make it.
no subject
It's all true! I saw it. I mean, I didn't care that much a8out it, 8ut when I was 8ored once I 8rowsed the humans' timelines and it was exactly what you said.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
Their 8onds with their guardians aren't even sym8iotic! The guardians get nothing out of the exchange. 8affling.
FROM: serket.vriska@cdc.org
If I'm impressed 8y anything, it's the massive amounts of sheer dum8 luck they must possess as a species.
no subject
That's the thing. They're not dumb. It's not dumb luck. They're creative. One of the more creative species out there. And maybe that's how they made it work.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
There's jokes about the power of imagination, but they've actually got something there. Every species that's survived is creative, has ingenuity. Humans seem to take it to a different level.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
But luck plays into it too.
