Excerpt from the Prolog:
AFRICAN PROVERB: THE CHILD WHO IS NOT EMBRACED BY THE VILLAGE WILL BURN IT DOWN TO FEEL ITS WARMTH
"It is better to suffer wrong than to do it." Samuel Johson

Finding a song that expresses both the joy and the angst of a lonely, alien symbiont finding "that someone special" whom it ...desperately... wants as a "friend-sister-pet-packmate" is a challenge!
Such a desire is, by definition, nonhuman. And symbiotic aliens seldom get radio airplay on country music stations...
• Not like pink elephants occasionally do. Ref. B-3's (Bad Beer Ballads).

"We Belong," Pat Benatar. [Ok. In context? Kinda creepy. But so adorable!!] Um. "We Belong" really fits #// and "her" little pack.
(Yup. Nice baseball weather we're having. How about those New Yorkie Mets?)
"Dude? As apologetic small talk goes, that requires a microscope to figure out."
Suggested soundtrack:
Silly Alien) "Like a Surgeon," "Weird Al" Yankovic; "Cows With Guns," Dana Lyons
Polite Alien) "Holy Water," Big & Rich; "Runaway," AURORA; "Runaway," Del Shannon; "You've Got a Friend," Carole King
Honest Symbiont) "Soldier of Love," Sade; "Africa," Toto; "Hungry Like the Wolf," Duran Duran

And, yes, about "Lizard Lips"... She'll get a proper name. Trust me.
"Ah. Do we have to?"
um... ok... Sure. Be that way. 🙄
