Love to read me some saurians.
A very good look at a human culture through the eyes of a predator. I like that much of Redscale's violence is spurred on by confusion based in an extension of the principles of his own existence. He was created as a weapon with Purpose, so it stands to reason that all the softscales are too. Mistaking children screaming for sentries paints a great scene of terror. The pondering bits scratch a nice "puzzle-solving" bit of the brain and the ending of simply killing something he doesn't understand without much thought beyond "damn these things are weird" is both harrowing and a great inverse of how presumably most humans would view Saurians.
