Marina sighed, listening to him try to explain himself again. She knew the arguments he was using made logical sense, but she still had trouble accepting them. She knew that humans hadn't been past the moon, she knew that probes and telescopes only glimpsed the surface of the universe, but there was still a passing thought. Everyone wondered if humans were the only intelligent life, although most agreed that was extremely unlikely. Even if there was some kind of intergalactic law enforcement that stopped other races from contacting Earth, it was strange that scientists hadn't glimpsed a colony or spaceship or something. As it was, the more she listened to the man talk, the more she wanted to prove him wrong.<br/><br/>"Humans are skeptical. It's just the way we are. Until we've seen it for ourselves, we're going to believe it doesn't exist. And even then, it's going to take some proof." She explained, looking towards Xeno, studying him. "Not that you need to prove anything else. I just need some time to adjust." She felt like she was apologizing, even though she really didn't have anything to apologize for. Was she supposed to feel sorry for not believing that an alien was supposed to protect her from all of her problems? No, she got herself into this mess, and she could get herself out. But if he wanted to tag along and feel useful, she wouldn't stop him. She couldn't stop him, she understood that much.<br/><br/>"Alright, I'm not going to try to get rid of you. I just don't know what you want me to do, really. Are you just going to follow me around in case someone pulls out a gun and threatens me?" She shook her head, not really wanting an answer. The way he spoke, she would just end up getting more confusing nonsense instead of a straight answer. She looked at him again, noticing another reason why she may have trouble understanding him. "You know, I might have believed you faster if you hadn't changed. You look too...human."
