“Usually they are, but not always. Do you have somewhere else you might want your cabin to be? I can ask the Admiral to change it.” They like theirs, but Zakalwe might not feel the same.

“You never stayed in one place for long,” they guess. They might be wrong, but his relationship with a home sounds almost like their relationship with their body.
"Maybe. I feel more... more stable, here, for all that shit happens every month." Graduation will take a while and after that, he has at least one deal to make.

"They're strange." Though he's only really seen one. "I don't like being someone else like that."
