“So...wh-what are you?” she asked stupidly, as he dug through the fridge.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H0IbxvAKx
He paused.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmeC4FvBdW
“Did- Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKpiHkSrIh
“No, not at all,” he replied, turning from the fridge, two cans of soda in a large fist “Pibb?”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gnqg03PlK
“Please, thank you.” she stated, taking the can she was offered.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pNnm5CV8J
An uncomfortable silence suddenly filled the air, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY3dfPGWLx
“So, what brings you here?” Prometheus asked, nursing his cola.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVQXQRcI6W
“Wh-What do you mean?” she asked.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQdH6q1zuo
“I’m not ignorant, Sarah; everyone who walks through that door comes in here for some reason or another.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QCvrTtLDm
He grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal a set of sharp canines.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzOtJYCdcq
“Well, I...I needed the money.” she replied sheepishly, then added “It wasn’t for drugs or anything!”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVM9xdEqKS
“Why would I assume such a thing?” he asked in kind.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPNTYTcB7f
“M-Most people assume that’s what I need the money f-for…”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQDjbbjVWo
At his questioning look, she explained further.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Kpoejw7g
“I...my family...isn’t exactly...normal.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrQ2BFqnjZ
“It musn’t be, if you volunteer for this kind of work.” he laughed.
She found herself laughing with him, despite her nerves.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm1K96NwvU
“My father was an addict…”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDaw78r2GF
He nodded in understanding, still chuckling to himself. His laughter died down, and they were bathed in silence once more.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEvqtVMeE
“SO...maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself?” she asked, genuinely curious “How did you end up in...here?”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw3XruF43D
“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.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7UoHVXQ30
“‘Our own’?” she questioned, her interest peaked.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIPyBUqdGs
“My kind,” he clarified “or...rather...my...people?”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7fANAHPc
“Species?” Sarah offered.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S6nDYNw7S
“No, no,” he replied, shaking his head “species is the wrong term, there’s more than one sentient species on our planet.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C8XEQ6gBU
“Seems like your planet is collective society.” she observed.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTObZowAfd
He nodded once more, and took a sip of his drink.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡektEWjMZLL
“It is, unlike what I’ve seen on this planet.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGiKJP5NX
“Some places are communal, I really can’t think of any right now, though…”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtobvRR6hhE
“Pardon me, I fear my meaning was misconstrued- I merely meant that my world is vastly different from this one.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimeUOWDVmY
“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.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHSn72EBSt
“It is for me, as well.” he replied, smiling.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3UmvJJUj
She grew confused.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDRRvULZ5
“Wilhelm mentioned that you’ve had other...uh...visitors…”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpvlkG56e
“Yes, a few,” he said thoughtfully “some with a calmer disposition than others.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOnkZMvdcP
It suddenly struck her how she’d reacted, and she felt her face heat up.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgaFP87fr
“I, ah- apologize for my behavior…” she said sheepishly, positive her face was not-unlike that of a tomato.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoqrHGrQEB
He waved dismissively, glancing over at the clock nailed to the space above the stove.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDvewT9HoS
“Your behavior was to be expected, given the circumstances.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOXilEMQeI
“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.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCggItIiibp
Her face burned.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7DlSKV4VX
“Why are you naked?”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl2ja8Qot3
“I’ve no idea what you mean, I’ve got my fur.” he grinned, showing off his sharp canines.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L7CAtVETW
“Is it...a cultural thing?” she asked.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PNR2eXscC
“Why don’t you find out?” he replied, leaning over the counter.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWXB9fhIJ
The tip of his wet nose was now touching hers. She stammered and blushed as she could only sit, captivated by his crimson eyes.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivpiNkDJQE
“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.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR517kYKh4
“Wh-Why?”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgQ4RfgIZ
“It was believed that laying someone to rest with their clothes on meant that they were unclean.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN7OqLk1i6
“So why are you-”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLpuRBSIvP
She gestured vaguely to him.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD3ZzpSlx9
“We have the choice of wearing clothes, or to go without- I chose to do so.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OuKRqJfkq
“Ah.” she replied, nodding.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaelYFuF52b
“You do not appear surprised.” he noted.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPNUSfih3L
“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.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQA9JFQKwl
He licked his chops, and glanced at the clock once more.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Y2k7Fe9V
“I’d say it’s been a long day for the both of us.” he smiled.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXMHNJFBk
“Yeah…” she replied, not quite sure where he was going.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd4nkSnYln
“I’ll retire for the night.” he stated, sounding more as a command than anything else “Your room is third on the right.”
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTKQ2IWwBk
“Thank you.” she replied, nodding.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ188Q82TnGn
He nodded back, and with that, exited the kitchen, retreating to the hallway.
1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4I4qL3AMB
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 form1498Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSPCCbeV96
and then Add to home screen.
