This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Everything you say here is 100% true. Absolutely true. Everything. 
Including that Hy is human and Fava is an inhuma.

However, don't be fooled by appearances. Horn said Hy *could* be crude. 
He also says she could be sweet and nice whenever she wanted to. The 
Rajan said that whatever their appearances, the inhumi retained their 
"reptilian nature". They were all dangerous opponents. Don't be fooled 
by Fava's appearance. Hy looked small and delicate too. And she was 
light as a feather. Silk said Hy's fighting ability was itself something 
of a deception.

The thing is its a big explanation. Bigger than Hy.
