*headtilt* Still a person. Although not a particularly typical one, so perhaps (I am inexplicably more awake right now despite the horribleness of the hour) that's what you meant? Not a yardstick for the average emotional response of people in general, to be sure...

...but still a person, as worthy and valuable as any other, my dear. You must never forget that. ♥

(I have no breakfast :( I have to eat leftover cup-cakes from my Ed's birthday. Which reminds me that a wonderful thing happened yesterday and now forever-and-ever my friends' baby will be exactly thirty years younger than my Ed. Almost to the hour.)
