For such a self-absorbed species, humans could be so selfless.

It wasn't human's nature or certainly their strength that made them dangerous. It was their capacity to multiply destruction.

'Familiarity breeds boredom.' You ain't never lied, Kit.

But Kit and Jazen were no longer a species to him. They felt fear like he did. They felt affection like he did. It was easy to dislike a species. Hard to dislike an individual who was like you. It was much easier to trust and compromise with someone you knew.

Not cutting human males any slack: "The female humans must have been the ones to have harness fire. Males couldn't have concentrated long enough."

One human could simply withhold its feelings and intentions from another human by failing to audibilize or it could audibilize things that were not real. The other human would be aware only of what it heard and would change its behavior in response to a nonexistent stimulus. They called it 'lying.'

Edit: It sounded Joker-ish (Seth Green, Mass Effect) and Marty McFly-ish.

Overall the human species tolerated dangers in nature. What humans did not tolerate were rivals.

'Humans often described the way things were in a way things were not. The grezin found this incomprehensible.'(Note: I guessed on the spelling of grezin since this is an audiobbok and Google was not helpful.)

The POV switched for the first time to the POV of what they're hunting, and I don't know if this is someone else's voice or the voice of the narrator's slightly slowed down (since no one else is credited for narration)and it's a little odd because it's like he's taking in two different accents in one sentence. LOL.
