Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep someone out of your apartment if they seem to have no trouble getting a spare key?

We were simply explorers, yes? But then we saw how their people struggled and reached out, and helped, and in reply they decided to hate us. The Narn, they are not very friendly.

Most people don't tend to like change, especially if the way they're doing thing isn't doing any good. Tradition's pretty important, after all. I guess it's no different for people who aren't human either, huh?

[[plus there's that whole 'saving the savages' motif that tends to come up in these situations where it's not often clear who the savage part is... but that might not be the case here, since it wasn't on Earth, right?]]

Tradition? Pah. [Londo waved a hand dismissively.] What good is tradition when you are starving? It does not feed you, does not clothe you, does not protect you. The Narn, they were fools then, and they are still fools. But now, they are well-fed and well-armed fools.

Aaa--- so I guess it all worked out, then...?

[proudambassador]

Worked? No. It became one war, and then a second.

Eh? [[Wasn't expecting that! (though he really should have... but that was more modern history and he did prefer ancient...)]] Like a fight for independence...?

[proudambassador]

The first, yes. And the second they decided to attack our colonies on planets that had not been inhabited, or owned by anyone, slaughtering civilians on a grand scale. And so we defeated them.

[[...oh dear. Pardon him as he just... blinks a few times to take all that in]]

I'm sorry for the loss....

[[... lame, but really, what on Earth could one say to that...?]]

Yes, well. They are not. But they have learned.
