Getting up from the small cot she went and sat on the floor so that she could face him, her eyes softening with concern, whilst her hand raised as if she wanted to reach out and touch him but the force field would surely prevent it. Sighing she forced a better smile on her face as she looked at him, "Sparing huh? I suppose it would be fun to show one another their moves..." she spoke softly as she purred a bit in her exhaustion. <br/><br/>"I am sorry that you had to see that between Jared and me. It was unprofessional and I let my animal side get the best of me...." she sighed running her hands through her mass of hair before she looked back up at him. "You look about how bad as I feel, if not worst..." she frowned a bit again wanting to be able to touch him, to give him comfort as well as receive some in return. "Thank you for coming to see me when you should have been in bed. I guess I owe you another dinner, probably a lunch as well..." she smirked a bit. "I am not sure how long I will be in here though. The captain is pretty mad and well she is right to be, but I can promise you that when my time in here is up we can have that sparing match then that lunch. We will have to think of something else to do while we kill sometime before dinner..." she smiled and shrugged a bit.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Dren smiled and nodded, his head seemed to be on a swivel and the weight of his helmet made it worse. He lazily pulled it off and placed it in his lap, sighing heavily.<br/><br/>"Angela, what you did, you shouldn't apologize or think I wouldn't think less of you for being unprofessional." he said, eyes heavy, "The animal is a part of you as much as your Mankind side. Nekans are similar to Mankinds but our differences are vast as well, but I'm proud of what I am." He paused for a moment then sighed, "Nekans weren't always as civil as we are now. We used to be very savage, brutal warriors in our distant past. It's only when we gradually learned to curb our hunger for meat and became vegetarians that we eventually lost our blood lust and became civil enough to have a decent society, which in turn advanced properly to what we are now." His head dropped a bit and he bobbed back up, sighing again to clear his head, "If it wasn't for the scarcity of meat on my planet we would still be primitive beasts. Most of the other edible animals became extinct and those left to sustain the ecosystem were either poisonous or we were no match for them. We had to turn to plants to survive and we became more docile because of it." He laughed for a moment, a smile exposing his fangs, "Heh, turns out there's a certain chemical excreted to digest meat in our stomach that causes the primal urges to fight and crave it in the first place..." Again his head dropped a bit more, the sound of another inmate hitting his force field made him jump for a moment, then he promptly drooped forward again, his forehead now planted on the top of his helmet and soft snores escaped his maw. He just couldn't do it anymore. He had reached his limit.
