-- Man, what a scary memory. Though it scares him more that between Ari's memories and what Jace has told him of Sabra, Curls himself can't rely on having an ooloi to patch him up.
-- He's also more consciously aware of the difference between Oankali and humans regarding gender. He remembers he has five parents, and he was born to a human but isn't fully human himself.
-- Sensory issues. Akin as a kid was almost completely human looking -- his senses were a bit muted and he'd be more aware of having a nose and not breathing out of a hole in his throat. And, you know, the lack of tentacles.
-- Having more control over his fast healing is nice. And, you know, knowing about it. He has enough knowledge from Ari to know that most humans can't control their bodies in this way and heal slower.
-- +10 self-sacrifice, or at least willingness to push the system. Granted, Curls also has the empathy enough to realize if he's punished for this, it will hurt Canis. And he remembers losing someone, and he doesn't want anyone to feel this.
-- He was being taken away from his home against his will in this memory, and he just wants to get away from these scary people who killed someone to catch him and were willing to let their own friends die.
Also, as a note, Curls will be easing off the meat he eats, but not enough to starve. Probably a lot of trying things growing in the higher places (he's avoiding the water on Jace's word) and seeing what's edible.
