[ He can't help but feel a little pride in being told he's convincingly human, but... from a duck. In a town full of non-humans, by his standards, if not by hers. So he's still got a couple grains of salt to take, here. But he shrugs it off, stepping forward with a little more pep. ]
My dad taught me a lot about human-ing, but, I mean, you gotta live and learn, right? So I've basically taught myself all about human-ing, and now I bet I'm even better at it than my dad~
[ It occurs to him, maybe, with this place being so full of goblins and gelflings, and apparently ducks, maybe human-ing isn't the skill he should be bragging about. So with a blip of a nervous glance Webby's way, he backtracks and covers himself. ]
But, y'know, I'm just great at getting by on my own in general, so. I'm sure this place'll be a breeze, too...~
[ Sooomething in his tone betrays his tremulous confidence in that claim... After all, he can't pass himself off as a gelfling or goblin as well as he can pass himself off as a human — nor can he pass himself off as a duck... Evolution equipped him for one thing, and suddenly there are several other things he never even knew existed thrown in the mix...! He's gonna cope one way or another, man — even if it's just by blind confidence and forced nonchalance... It's gotten him this far, right? So far he's never even been murdered once! ]
