( Emil can't say he has any more or less experience with these new people wandering around, only identifiable because he doesn't recognize them from the usual suspects. It's surprising to see someone who's new adapting to the setting pretty quickly, as evident in how he's quick to touch these wriggling creatures.
Which is where they differ, because he's....not about to touch these things without some direct evidence that they aren't going to bit him or give him some kind of pox.
This explains why Emil's staring so intently at Jude's interactions with these lizardlings; he likes kids and all but he's not catching a rash. You can take the bullet for him. )
