Velneir sighed at Ryan's question.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"I'd love to say no, but the only race I can think of that's immune to it are Seharans."</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"You're forgetting about Arondites,"</span></span>Rhofel joked scornfully.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"That's a lie and you know it,"</span></span>Velneir scolded. He glanced back at Ryan, who wouldn't understand.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Seharans are the only intelligent silicon-based life forms we know about. Their biological structure is tremendously different from ours, and they don't seem to feel emotion. They're interesting, but keep to themselves, so they aren't a big topic out in the universe. Arondites, on the other hand, insist on sticking their noses into everything. And I really do mean Everything. If you're hesitant to believe that, take a look at what language we're both speaking. We didn't learn English just to come do some research on Earth--it's the language Arondites speak. I'd bet you a forest that they came down at some point in your history and introduced it."</span></span><br/><br/>Rhofel shrugged.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Wouldn't be hard. Humans and Arondites all look the same to me."</span></span><br/><br/>Velneir gave him a glance.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Ignoring how racist that was, it's true that your two species are almost biologically identical. Minus that one little element they call 'shin' which they take so much pride in."</span></span><br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>Uriel sighed, deciding to change the topic.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"I'm not sure if I should tell you this..."</span></span>she started,<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"But Ryan told me something very strange a minute ago... and it involves you."</span></span><br/><br/>The Indigo looked at her, doubting that things could get much worse.<span style="color: #8080FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Alright. What is it?"</span></span><br/><br/>She locked eyes with him.<span style="color: #BF80FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"I'm not the only one he's in love with now. He's falling for you too."</span></span>
