Hiko wasn't asleep so much as absorbing energy to allow him to heal and recover from the throbbing pain filled change to energy state. He knew he couldn't allow her to see his alien form. What if she freaked out? He had seen humans that freaked out hit or shot things. So he would rather avoid such dealings. He sensed her energy reading outside the door but didn't move. He basically let her think what she wanted to...that he was asleep. He stayed still and meditated. Finishing the conversation with Mars. This lead him to begin to think about her again. He didn't want to end up losing her friendship because he stupidly wanted to take things past friendship level with her. She was attracted to him but how much was just appearance and how much was because she truly was interested in him as Hiko not smexy male?<br/><br/>He opened his eyes moments later and sat up from the position he had gotten into. Somehow ending up with his head against the floor. He heard the knocking on the door. Standing up and went to the door. Unlocking it and opened it. Following her voice and went to the kitchen. Taking the noodles she had mentioned. Well she had said food so he guessed this was his. He headed towards the east wing of the house. He wanted to talk and spend time with her. Even if she seemed to misunderstand what he said. What if she had a small amount of reason to be worried. Nah. He doubted it. Her friend would not give them up. Due to him scaring the rest of the scientists they wouldn't either. It was only logical that eventually they would figure it out. He wondered when he would learn more about Lore on a more intimate level. Intimate level not technically refering to a sexual level. Even though he would have loved to have that it was too much hopeful wishing.<br/><br/>He walked and sat down next to her. Sipping at the broth involved with the noodle. Looking at her. "Sorry...I must've fallen asleep...sorta. I don't think I actually sleep." He said. Looking at her. Then looked at the fireplace. It produced heat and more importantly warm energy. His form soaking it up like a sponge. He distributed it through the rest of his body. "So Lore...what questions do you have for me?"
