Eivor's interpretation of nonhumans is filtered through her religion: she will assume the Thessyx are jotnar, and so she will treat them with a respectful wariness. She won't ask them any questions about themselves and while she will answer their questions, she will give them very guarded answers.

Claptrap is going to ask really loud, insensitive questions. Why are they not going out during the day? Why are they giving the humans bugs? (It's a joke, right? You can tell him.) Why haven't they, you know, exterminated the humans yet for being an invasive species? Do they like to go swimming. What's it like having four arms. etc etc
