He pulled open his mouth and showed Joachim his teeth to the bird of prey, pointing a finger at his canines, then to his incisors and to his molars. “Do these look like the teeth of a herbivore?” Handy asked as he let his mouth go. “Humans are omnivores, but even so, we eat a heavy diet of meat, or we try to at least. Our bodies need it.” He raised his hand again in a placating gesture. “We recognise predators when we see them was all, which is why I was laughing before. Relax, you won’t be judged by me.”
