“So...wh-what are you?” she asked stupidly, as he dug through the fridge.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFxft42nO
He paused.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ur0nDV4hq
“Did- Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOBq2gfIND
“No, not at all,” he replied, turning from the fridge, two cans of soda in a large fist “Pibb?”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZdEVVG6E
“Please, thank you.” she stated, taking the can she was offered.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw055dMDga
An uncomfortable silence suddenly filled the air, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjM5b9EdYr
“So, what brings you here?” Prometheus asked, nursing his cola.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRupryJnTE
“Wh-What do you mean?” she asked.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sRjAWgmLU
“I’m not ignorant, Sarah; everyone who walks through that door comes in here for some reason or another.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI1dnmQs5I
He grinned, his lips peeling back to reveal a set of sharp canines.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3CdkU23If
“Well, I...I needed the money.” she replied sheepishly, then added “It wasn’t for drugs or anything!”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsgs9MrH2
“Why would I assume such a thing?” he asked in kind.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPF62uK1mc
“M-Most people assume that’s what I need the money f-for…”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcPYdHJTqM
At his questioning look, she explained further.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLaNBYnNK
“I...my family...isn’t exactly...normal.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIoEdsaA7
“It musn’t be, if you volunteer for this kind of work.” he laughed.
She found herself laughing with him, despite her nerves.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWD7eQ6oLt
“My father was an addict…”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdyRWay7lx
He nodded in understanding, still chuckling to himself. His laughter died down, and they were bathed in silence once more.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPey5xjj2YT
“SO...maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself?” she asked, genuinely curious “How did you end up in...here?”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMos51zzmz0
“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.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPgWgZjNdj
“‘Our own’?” she questioned, her interest peaked.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2KPGdAmAX
“My kind,” he clarified “or...rather...my...people?”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bry7vhLXQ
“Species?” Sarah offered.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsx3fd9Kyg
“No, no,” he replied, shaking his head “species is the wrong term, there’s more than one sentient species on our planet.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw2G0roj4D
“Seems like your planet is collective society.” she observed.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhOXfRZ13H
He nodded once more, and took a sip of his drink.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hnitngh7Y
“It is, unlike what I’ve seen on this planet.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6e0QJH7Wt
“Some places are communal, I really can’t think of any right now, though…”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8D9MGOOEK
“Pardon me, I fear my meaning was misconstrued- I merely meant that my world is vastly different from this one.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyJPm83ipw
“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.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0lEJ1nOgz
“It is for me, as well.” he replied, smiling.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcU3AxkBiH
She grew confused.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUmkEjgJZL
“Wilhelm mentioned that you’ve had other...uh...visitors…”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcr8AJ6Lw
“Yes, a few,” he said thoughtfully “some with a calmer disposition than others.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudVVoGbBhO
It suddenly struck her how she’d reacted, and she felt her face heat up.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaOHEfkGht
“I, ah- apologize for my behavior…” she said sheepishly, positive her face was not-unlike that of a tomato.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cBLla3Wbo
He waved dismissively, glancing over at the clock nailed to the space above the stove.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZE7CDOwEX
“Your behavior was to be expected, given the circumstances.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEvm4lQldC
“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.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEOxtPud68
Her face burned.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflzbC56ola
“Why are you naked?”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW2PRYskR5
“I’ve no idea what you mean, I’ve got my fur.” he grinned, showing off his sharp canines.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8LdfAnGLu
“Is it...a cultural thing?” she asked.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvheBarHB
“Why don’t you find out?” he replied, leaning over the counter.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwWUxhcckM
The tip of his wet nose was now touching hers. She stammered and blushed as she could only sit, captivated by his crimson eyes.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1qnPr69vD
“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.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8lTr1q1Ka
“Wh-Why?”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9afgPxto2C
“It was believed that laying someone to rest with their clothes on meant that they were unclean.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzyS7yoHtJ
“So why are you-”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ize47ZYx
She gestured vaguely to him.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGmdgNjLf2
“We have the choice of wearing clothes, or to go without- I chose to do so.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgsjcb7Xd8
“Ah.” she replied, nodding.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5fB4mokqv
“You do not appear surprised.” he noted.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZfF4OKblN
“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.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcs0CN2NrQ
He licked his chops, and glanced at the clock once more.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx6ZoMRaVp
“I’d say it’s been a long day for the both of us.” he smiled.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7phQf5Hzo
“Yeah…” she replied, not quite sure where he was going.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8zM7uAqS
“I’ll retire for the night.” he stated, sounding more as a command than anything else “Your room is third on the right.”
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhaHFJxHjA
“Thank you.” she replied, nodding.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhikNE13hJb
He nodded back, and with that, exited the kitchen, retreating to the hallway.
1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNJlPxrAHz
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 form1187Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69gBjMrwHW
