Hiko looked around then felt her eyes on him. Looking at his companion and friend curiously. He would have to be blind not to notice how hot she was. Yet he was not wanting to break that thin ice they walked on right now. He was certain if he went too fast he'd lose her friendship. He looked puzzled. "That they are trying to figure out why the comet crashed then disintegrated. Why I was there and the comet wasn't. They are uncertain if I was hostile or not." He thought a bit. "That the other scientists are afraid of the guy who gave me the shoes." He tried to remember other stuff. "They look up to you but are unsure what you were going to do with me. The Admiral was apparently planning on giving you full control of what they were calling Project Spaceman. The name gets negative points for originality." He shook his head. "They weren't planning on letting me go. I'm almost certain they were going to disect me if they could. That would be painful. It wouldn't finish me off but it would be quite painful to have my shell destroyed like that."<br/><br/>He blinked. "There was also something about watching out for an air raid from some country called Russia. I'm not sure what that was about but some guys with guns were talking about it all hushed like and sounding worried." He shook his head. "There was some guy...I heard him trying to convince the Admiral that you were a...I think the word was...uncontrollable kink in the chain. Not sure what that means. From what a petty officer said the Admiral merely scoffed. Some guy by the name of Lieutenant Grayson. Thats all I gather from that conversation. Soon as they realized I was listening they changed subject to football." He paused for a moment. "I can't think of anything else." He said honestly.<br/><br/>"That guy...Jason I think it was. He'll protect you. He'll keep the other scientists from squealing to the higher ups. They are scared of him. He is on your side." He said honestly. "If he wasn't he would have already pulled the plug." He pointed out. His eyes expanded with the color then shrunk back down to human eyes with pupils and whites. His copper hues seeming to shine in the light from the fire. He was lost in thought while she tried to figure things out. Like what she was going to ask. "I do not mind. My people are not as worried about personal life issues. If it isn't something I wish to answer I'll just kindly tell you so. So feel free to ask away."<br/><br/>He continued eating the noodles. He smiled as she spoke. "Yes. It does seem fair. I quite remember the first question game. Taking turns seemed to be something important." He looked thoughtful as she continued. "No. I'm actually quite warm. Thank you for offering. You stay all nice and warm inside you're blanket coccoon. I'm fine." He promised lightly. He continued eating his noodles. Enjoying the taste of it. "This is really good. I have not actually eaten food before. My type of alien does not have a need to eat like this. However, the experience is quite exciting and for some reason my stomach of my shell enjoys it. I cannot wait to try other foods." He said. He looked at her. "What type of foods do you eat?" he asked. Giving his first question.<br/><br/>"Do you have any hobbies when you aren't being part of the military? I'm puzzled over whether you enjoy your job as General. Or if you don't enjoy it but just do it because of some sort of obligation to other people." He smiled at her. "Either way I am glad you were there. I got to meet a wonderful and beautiful young woman."
