Jinnai and Deva were watching Bugrom workers from an open window high in the hive.

"What an excellent view of our servants," Jinnai said. "They look like ants from here."

"Do you think so?" Deva asked. "Actually, Bugrom have a larger abdomen, a smaller head and thorax, shorter antennae and legs, and—"

"It's a figure of speech!" Jinnai said nervously. "Er, I didn't know El-Hazard had ants."

"Oh, of course," Deva said. "In fact, my uncle was an ant."

"Your uncle was an ant," Jinnai repeated flatly in disbelief.
