“So...wh-what are you?” she asked stupidly, as he dug through the fridge.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVsheiyRqG
He paused.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROMkwGybpX
“Did- Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1WLx2rRfS
“No, not at all,” he replied, turning from the fridge, two cans of soda in a large fist “Pibb?”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsh44a27bY
“Please, thank you.” she stated, taking the can she was offered.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBsLdxaQuH
An uncomfortable silence suddenly filled the air, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Ck3bRXWF
“So, what brings you here?” Prometheus asked, nursing his cola.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNiJ4r92Bk
“Wh-What do you mean?” she asked.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRipmYDJgJ
“I’m not ignorant, Sarah; everyone who walks through that door comes in here for some reason or another.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rWQ0PEwlz
He grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal a set of sharp canines.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnda5veCrZ
“Well, I...I needed the money.” she replied sheepishly, then added “It wasn’t for drugs or anything!”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5KuYSNT6A
“Why would I assume such a thing?” he asked in kind.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD5TjEARkn
“M-Most people assume that’s what I need the money f-for…”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4IvYKLEc6
At his questioning look, she explained further.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfgsYEgn2d
“I...my family...isn’t exactly...normal.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ9qQLa2JE
“It musn’t be, if you volunteer for this kind of work.” he laughed.
She found herself laughing with him, despite her nerves.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4XIY8FlZo
“My father was an addict…”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkPcEDCcHb
He nodded in understanding, still chuckling to himself. His laughter died down, and they were bathed in silence once more.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyfNSZx83o
“SO...maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself?” she asked, genuinely curious “How did you end up in...here?”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhKodcPJz
“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.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUrLhHdKCg
“‘Our own’?” she questioned, her interest peaked.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHbVhBhOxJ
“My kind,” he clarified “or...rather...my...people?”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkkJ8tJkp2
“Species?” Sarah offered.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFo250flZ1
“No, no,” he replied, shaking his head “species is the wrong term, there’s more than one sentient species on our planet.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27tUUVAB3A
“Seems like your planet is collective society.” she observed.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ41GjwO0F
He nodded once more, and took a sip of his drink.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSArAqNvlI5
“It is, unlike what I’ve seen on this planet.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2rVzDBTjs
“Some places are communal, I really can’t think of any right now, though…”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZQnu73rmQ
“Pardon me, I fear my meaning was misconstrued- I merely meant that my world is vastly different from this one.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIKBsKiJbC
“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.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SHEu1l6E
“It is for me, as well.” he replied, smiling.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcOQc09zV
She grew confused.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDzLdttytT
“Wilhelm mentioned that you’ve had other...uh...visitors…”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58PRVnz2Go
“Yes, a few,” he said thoughtfully “some with a calmer disposition than others.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKviVXpelY
It suddenly struck her how she’d reacted, and she felt her face heat up.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmK5WleSzV
“I, ah- apologize for my behavior…” she said sheepishly, positive her face was not-unlike that of a tomato.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZooaAnjPW
He waved dismissively, glancing over at the clock nailed to the space above the stove.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA6yUS5UAW
“Your behavior was to be expected, given the circumstances.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIw1Lc4C8c
“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.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZToVknuhG4
Her face burned.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzDZtlptBb
“Why are you naked?”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdo8lh6zI1
“I’ve no idea what you mean, I’ve got my fur.” he grinned, showing off his sharp canines.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fz0j4dGxy
“Is it...a cultural thing?” she asked.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbTjAnIZqj
“Why don’t you find out?” he replied, leaning over the counter.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNCvlZtydf
The tip of his wet nose was now touching hers. She stammered and blushed as she could only sit, captivated by his crimson eyes.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXqpxoYSMq
“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.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdRDCzsOJ
“Wh-Why?”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAtEnDfreG
“It was believed that laying someone to rest with their clothes on meant that they were unclean.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WhJcGm5go
“So why are you-”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruhAxwBoh
She gestured vaguely to him.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakhjQVPl5d
“We have the choice of wearing clothes, or to go without- I chose to do so.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfqBnABS0f
“Ah.” she replied, nodding.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjidnnDeXi7
“You do not appear surprised.” he noted.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIlhHcuwnc
“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.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eHaAeIbeX
He licked his chops, and glanced at the clock once more.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTIF2WAxaF
“I’d say it’s been a long day for the both of us.” he smiled.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ434Fw0PDmd
“Yeah…” she replied, not quite sure where he was going.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMZV6hs0vA
“I’ll retire for the night.” he stated, sounding more as a command than anything else “Your room is third on the right.”
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWOCJjzXGm
“Thank you.” she replied, nodding.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb39dbSX9Ar
He nodded back, and with that, exited the kitchen, retreating to the hallway.
1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8xkS6WMI
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 form1186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuSomhnWGh
