DESCRIPTION

Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

I don't know if only a wolverine could be specifically responsible for Lorlara's speech pattern. I don't have any esoteric knowledge about wolverine digestive processes. Maybe a goat could also work. Possibly a housecat with pancreatitis?

I think propriokinesics is a made up word. If you've read my Tamer fanfic novels, you know I have a tendency to do that. Not... inveterately. Just like, once in every hundred thousand words. Anyway, it's supposed to mean "how people move." In this case, we can blame Lorlara for not being satisfied with just saying that instead of needing to do a bunch of googling then slam two words together like she was speaking casual German. Not that I did the exact same thing >cough<.

Essentially though, what she's saying with the Neural Voltage Potential bit is that nerves carry a certain amount of voltage, (with many factors contributing to that voltage, including the coating on nerves (the myelin sheath) and attenuation of voltage etc, etc.) and that voltage affects everything from reflexes to how hard someone can flex their muscles, and the differences in the neuromuscular biology between and alari and humans is a tell-tale in how they move. Sciona grew up in an Alari body, then most of her inhabited a troll for a while, then back to an Alari, and now a human. Lorlara is saying Deus is perceptive enough to notice all the little signs of the different bodies she's inhabited. 

Which is simply not true. Deus might be able to tell if an alari recently Freaky Friday'd with a human, but the brain would probably start to compensate and smooth over any weird propriokinesic quirks after a few weeks. 

Speaking of English being a fine and/or sucky language, I always want to capitalize race names, but you just don't. If you're talking about a klingon, you don't. If you're speaking in Klingon, you do, so that's another irritating thing about English.
