“So...wh-what are you?” she asked stupidly, as he dug through the fridge.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYkAIuwQ0f
He paused.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXPmPPWHF1
“Did- Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKCkzLyy4w
“No, not at all,” he replied, turning from the fridge, two cans of soda in a large fist “Pibb?”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gr3kDDaU5
“Please, thank you.” she stated, taking the can she was offered.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQEWkr4Wc0
An uncomfortable silence suddenly filled the air, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFz41Iq6SM
“So, what brings you here?” Prometheus asked, nursing his cola.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacTadhzYb9
“Wh-What do you mean?” she asked.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFAdgL8P2n
“I’m not ignorant, Sarah; everyone who walks through that door comes in here for some reason or another.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf80aTaop7
He grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal a set of sharp canines.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD9WS8IXX3
“Well, I...I needed the money.” she replied sheepishly, then added “It wasn’t for drugs or anything!”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNMf2QxkVe
“Why would I assume such a thing?” he asked in kind.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrARIIvFh
“M-Most people assume that’s what I need the money f-for…”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBD83Z336L
At his questioning look, she explained further.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jJRkdMU33
“I...my family...isn’t exactly...normal.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI8zfJq3YO
“It musn’t be, if you volunteer for this kind of work.” he laughed.
She found herself laughing with him, despite her nerves.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbqiuKAC7U
“My father was an addict…”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6drMprpCVX
He nodded in understanding, still chuckling to himself. His laughter died down, and they were bathed in silence once more.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4GHVhYd8x
“SO...maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself?” she asked, genuinely curious “How did you end up in...here?”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A3qGm1qPO
“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.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEMHvvzZgd
“‘Our own’?” she questioned, her interest peaked.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sE5x6I9R6
“My kind,” he clarified “or...rather...my...people?”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBQ1SNQJWt
“Species?” Sarah offered.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILf0StYxzl
“No, no,” he replied, shaking his head “species is the wrong term, there’s more than one sentient species on our planet.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMlqCBVMsL
“Seems like your planet is collective society.” she observed.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBffCcyyQmr
He nodded once more, and took a sip of his drink.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4U9XyNn0i
“It is, unlike what I’ve seen on this planet.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjZXbzViji
“Some places are communal, I really can’t think of any right now, though…”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0ceM7LMv
“Pardon me, I fear my meaning was misconstrued- I merely meant that my world is vastly different from this one.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNfo4l3eKA
“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.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQXe0e6dyW
“It is for me, as well.” he replied, smiling.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuVTDMUH4m
She grew confused.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNeLHoNFSW
“Wilhelm mentioned that you’ve had other...uh...visitors…”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElLIdF1lPp
“Yes, a few,” he said thoughtfully “some with a calmer disposition than others.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIi4mz5Zk
It suddenly struck her how she’d reacted, and she felt her face heat up.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjIQIW9Lsd
“I, ah- apologize for my behavior…” she said sheepishly, positive her face was not-unlike that of a tomato.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODffq1Cr1n
He waved dismissively, glancing over at the clock nailed to the space above the stove.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYRalx6ZrI
“Your behavior was to be expected, given the circumstances.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtr43UdX1v
“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.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnReX5tTjm
Her face burned.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqRntk1EzA
“Why are you naked?”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTCzLCZeNT
“I’ve no idea what you mean, I’ve got my fur.” he grinned, showing off his sharp canines.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE4gruw14b
“Is it...a cultural thing?” she asked.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaEwM7AVxs
“Why don’t you find out?” he replied, leaning over the counter.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7rV8POmrk
The tip of his wet nose was now touching hers. She stammered and blushed as she could only sit, captivated by his crimson eyes.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsFUSV4LV0
“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.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9h4n9TXN
“Wh-Why?”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotCV89w7Q
“It was believed that laying someone to rest with their clothes on meant that they were unclean.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN3qjhzQnU
“So why are you-”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzGN0XA71i
She gestured vaguely to him.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOdfmX38uE
“We have the choice of wearing clothes, or to go without- I chose to do so.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4SawTtjje
“Ah.” she replied, nodding.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlV3T3T1K0
“You do not appear surprised.” he noted.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqAvBMxluQ
“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.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAnasbbJBL
He licked his chops, and glanced at the clock once more.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3XpbOntqu
“I’d say it’s been a long day for the both of us.” he smiled.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgEzSWEm0T
“Yeah…” she replied, not quite sure where he was going.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqcSYeinc0
“I’ll retire for the night.” he stated, sounding more as a command than anything else “Your room is third on the right.”
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtDvHGrkt7
“Thank you.” she replied, nodding.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzfJfAhBmP
He nodded back, and with that, exited the kitchen, retreating to the hallway.
1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvu1oPsXiv
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 form1215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rfjc5cSL4
