If there is a shovel, I know what a shovel is. I can understand it, pick it up, use it. But a soul? ‘It’s something inside you,’ one of my cage mates explained. He was smart like Siel, though he didn’t know about the free fleaf’akhie in the mountains. I liked talking to him for the stuff he would teach me, how he taught me new ways to think. Though, after he died, I stopped believing in those things. ‘Look at your hand,’ he said to me one day, because we had been arguing about souls for a while. He never had the right definition. ‘You are not your hand, right? If you lost your hand, you would still be you. Because you are not a hand.’ He went through this with several body parts, and I imagined myself with pieces cut off. I could imagine it well, the blood spraying and gushing, but I understood what he meant. Not the act of losing body pieces, but the separation from them. I can lose all my limbs, and I am not any of those pieces. I am something separate from my body.

Résumé
Carter isn't sure what to call his two alien protectors. Friends? Boyfriends? Mates?
Or merely indiscriminate lovers with sexy purrs and tangling tails?
He would be lost without them, he knows that. When their home is invaded by a dangerous new kind of alien slaver, they strike out into the jungle. He depends on them for food, protection, a direction to walk in. He's helpless even for shelter and warmth.
Thankfully, his alien lovers seem devoted, but why? Carter wishes he knew their names or anything else. Like whether the attachment he's feeling is returned.
With aliens, you can't make assumptions.
Wouldn't it be nice if he could just ask?
