But for him it was, and he did not even care that it was ridiculous. Looking at the fragile, lanky, awkward bodies was hard for him to deal with without becoming irritated.

Her voice was that of a young individual — the way she spoke and the pitch made her age obvious when she spoke — but it was not squeaky or shrill, and she seemed slightly down to earth. At least she had that going for her.
