“So...wh-what are you?” she asked stupidly, as he dug through the fridge.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvTwo4ZDeb
He paused.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMKRpMdX4
“Did- Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL8avEy4vw
“No, not at all,” he replied, turning from the fridge, two cans of soda in a large fist “Pibb?”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FyhttanGX
“Please, thank you.” she stated, taking the can she was offered.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5U2U99mFW
An uncomfortable silence suddenly filled the air, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsapaWeb0y
“So, what brings you here?” Prometheus asked, nursing his cola.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCn1PVkChE
“Wh-What do you mean?” she asked.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz228XDmde
“I’m not ignorant, Sarah; everyone who walks through that door comes in here for some reason or another.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36yTSticDZ
He grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal a set of sharp canines.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTGeYbVtQP
“Well, I...I needed the money.” she replied sheepishly, then added “It wasn’t for drugs or anything!”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdF3YUFE8N
“Why would I assume such a thing?” he asked in kind.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72QX3xzSHE
“M-Most people assume that’s what I need the money f-for…”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQcjZqtlsc
At his questioning look, she explained further.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKaZGPsm3u
“I...my family...isn’t exactly...normal.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0EZ7VdsrF
“It musn’t be, if you volunteer for this kind of work.” he laughed.
She found herself laughing with him, despite her nerves.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGK90OjKN1
“My father was an addict…”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbcaE8yjO6
He nodded in understanding, still chuckling to himself. His laughter died down, and they were bathed in silence once more.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUBcYAAQya
“SO...maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself?” she asked, genuinely curious “How did you end up in...here?”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklFLVfur1
“It was a long time ago, seems like a dream the more I think about it,” he shrugged, his muscular arms flexing as he did so “back then, I had no idea that other worlds existed outside of our own.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3OgrJWmEb
“‘Our own’?” she questioned, her interest peaked.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALtZUAGE56
“My kind,” he clarified “or...rather...my...people?”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSel2Sf064K
“Species?” Sarah offered.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlTilsUkq5
“No, no,” he replied, shaking his head “species is the wrong term, there’s more than one sentient species on our planet.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxrtm99Lq
“Seems like your planet is collective society.” she observed.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc2GfxG7Qu
He nodded once more, and took a sip of his drink.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xPF6fqbwa
“It is, unlike what I’ve seen on this planet.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMQWKPiuyv
“Some places are communal, I really can’t think of any right now, though…”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfktVOOdW7
“Pardon me, I fear my meaning was misconstrued- I merely meant that my world is vastly different from this one.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGrRkaMqy
“I bet it is,” she replied, briefly imagining an entire country full of creatures like Prometheus “it’s sure an experience sitting here, talking to you.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuB2XaNmNO
“It is for me, as well.” he replied, smiling.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiSRTxOhV7
She grew confused.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrJghKqmaq
“Wilhelm mentioned that you’ve had other...uh...visitors…”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBWxxVpwR
“Yes, a few,” he said thoughtfully “some with a calmer disposition than others.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2nETd1QPy
It suddenly struck her how she’d reacted, and she felt her face heat up.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdnccYarYQ
“I, ah- apologize for my behavior…” she said sheepishly, positive her face was not-unlike that of a tomato.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHinfyNolL
He waved dismissively, glancing over at the clock nailed to the space above the stove.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFhqIZzP6
“Your behavior was to be expected, given the circumstances.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzFJ4XWNzp
“I suppose it was…” she chuckled to herself, then bit her lip, thinking over a very embarrassing question she couldn’t believe she was about to ask “I was wondering…”
“Yes?” he asked, posing perfectly against the island.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TpFdIoBwC
Her face burned.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaxlkPPTVj
“Why are you naked?”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR1nTCWLdB
“I’ve no idea what you mean, I’ve got my fur.” he grinned, showing off his sharp canines.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr3XQudD3v
“Is it...a cultural thing?” she asked.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAxdxd0WU
“Why don’t you find out?” he replied, leaning over the counter.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sorXtp1dQ
The tip of his wet nose was now touching hers. She stammered and blushed as she could only sit, captivated by his crimson eyes.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExChTLa0bQ
“But in all seriousness, nudity is something that is cherished, where I come from,” he stated, suddenly leaning away “when warriors died, they were stripped and laid to rest.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTMpW4BlKp
“Wh-Why?”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDDMOPJeFg
“It was believed that laying someone to rest with their clothes on meant that they were unclean.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpl1jlaIPu
“So why are you-”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuNQTALgr6
She gestured vaguely to him.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzWKZMMEcG
“We have the choice of wearing clothes, or to go without- I chose to do so.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22nUh38T2G
“Ah.” she replied, nodding.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeEcBdKQTR
“You do not appear surprised.” he noted.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XJaURQseo
“Well...it’s weird...like...really weird,” she replied “but...I know that’s where you’ve come from, and that’s your way of life.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0YA3Lip4n
He licked his chops, and glanced at the clock once more.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0EKOp8K7Y
“I’d say it’s been a long day for the both of us.” he smiled.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4nbzNjki2
“Yeah…” she replied, not quite sure where he was going.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRgmi1owFc
“I’ll retire for the night.” he stated, sounding more as a command than anything else “Your room is third on the right.”
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRQhC22geC
“Thank you.” she replied, nodding.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZHQ9oj4pQ
He nodded back, and with that, exited the kitchen, retreating to the hallway.
1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx4n35CqDz
Once she was sure he was gone, she slumped forward, and held her fingertips to her temples, rubbing to ward off the headache that was beginning to form1276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuKZnmEmEg
