Daniel is not shocked. Armand, in fact, does not seem like the type of person to have ever gone bowling, no matter that he's had over 500 years to give it a shot.
Decisively: "Bowling." For his other activity. Bowling actually kind of sucks, like most things do (Daniel is fun) (this is why he likes drugs so much), but there's a pretty good chance that watching Armand bowl is going to be the funniest fucking thing he's ever seen.
"I don't yet have enough personal experience to draw from to answer that," he muses. "My hypothesis is that normal is extremely difficult for a culture that is born exclusively from humanity while being incompatible with it. It's an extreme shock. Like moving to a new country where you don't speak the language or understand anything about the social norms, plus you want to eat all your neighbors. It's going to feel weird to go bowling with them, even if you have a nice time."
The leaves (and whatever) look nice. In the dark, there's a dayglo quality about the foliage, in its yellows and tans. On an aimless path, just driving. Nice of Armand to have not found a bridge yet.
"But we still live here. This is still our planet, 'our', chatty bipedal freaks making weird art and bad politics and screwed up relationships, dead or alive. In that way, just being around is normal. Exploring and making mistakes and causing problems."
