Oh, no, I hope I’m not giving you a bad impression of Trill. Most hosts are much more mentally prepared than I was... most go through years of training to make sure they’ll be able to handle it. And then there’s me, the only Trill in lightyears when Dax’s previous host died — didn’t really have much of a choice, or it would have died, and I would have practically been a criminal back home.

You aren’t from Earth, are you? Where are you from? Do you have a symbiosis tradition, too?
