[But no, that isn't something to worry about. It doesn't matter if people like him. He doesn't care what they think! And...and besides he's got a friend! And most of his classmates like him! So he simply looks away from the man, sort of turning his nose up a little in the same motion.]

It does not matter whether or not mortals "like" it. It is not a "thing" to be liked or disliked freely as if it were some fad or fashion statement. I am a walking abomination, born of a devil and an angel. If humans choose to be amiable in spite of this fact, they have courage that I can appreciate. If they show me disdain, I respect and welcome it. But it is inconsequential to me which side they fall on.

I do not exist to please them.
