"You're turning an Anthean greeting into something human with human values." Tom interjects. "I think you're getting way too caught up in minutia and missing out on much larger concepts that would be more helpful."
Tom sighs. "You have to stop thinking like a human in some ways. Yes, the hands are involved in sex. They are also how an Anthean greets their children and parents which is absolutely not sexual. I will reiterate that for Antheans the meaning of touch is dictated by the interaction of the people involved not what the touch is."
Tom just has no idea how his own mind changed, being submerged in it probably. He was also free of the hang ups, fears, and discomfort Minoru faces. "I think we need to go back to basics before you two get carried away."
