Hiko looked at her. Why was she shaking her head? What had he said wrong? He puzzled over this. "Yet you do not want me to acknowledge them...I am highly confused." He said. Scratching the back of his head. "That is something Earthlings and my people have in similarity. We prefer honesty over anything else. That is why if we do not wish to answer a question with a lie we usually just skirt answering or outright do not answer." He said. Rubbing the back of his head a bit. Then lowered his hand to the side. "However, since you have now just granted me permission to be honest than I will do so from now on." He watched her as she took her new pose. He listened to her speak. He felt for her. She had a bunch of valid points. "I do not see any such labeling on your forehead. You are as beautiful if not more so than a model." He said softly.<br/><br/>He did not yet answer her question on what he saw when he looked at her. Thankfully she didn't wait for him to give such an answer. He would give it to her when they were not able to just head back to the cage. She wanted honesty and he would give it to her. He would give it to her upon reaching their destination. At the right moment. He followed her gaze to the snow. Chuckling a bit. "A small downdraft snowing." he said in amusement. He would tell her the truth. She had asked for it. Now he would give it to her. Once there was no chance the car would turn around and take him back to the cage. He was kinda greedy and soaking up the freedom that may or may not last. He hoped it would last. He had so much he wanted to learn about from the surface of this world. "I wonder what true snow fall is like."<br/><br/>He looked at her. "I don't agree with that comment on your intelligence but to each their own." He said. "After all...how many people can say they successfully kidnapped an alien from a military base?" He asked in amusement. He followed her as she began moving. "Fireplace. I want to see this. I will enjoy learning from you Lore." He said honestly. A big smile on his face. It was actually a bit of relief to have the ability to be fully honest without large percentage of bad results happening due to it.<br/><br/>He buckled up once more. He fell silent again. Looking out the window. He knew exactly what he wanted to say. He knew exactly how he wanted to answer her question. "If I had someone like you...I wouldn't ever leave them behind. Even when my people came for me...I would never leave her behind. That wouldn't be fair to her. It wouldn't be fair to me. More importantly it would hurt the one I had in my heart. That would be the ultimate betrayal of a man of any race or species." He said softly. Not sure she would have even heard him. That was part of his answer to what she had told him. It was not an answer to her question but it still responded to her comments. He would give the rest at the right time.<br/><br/>He looked in amazement at the large cabin. Getting out of car and shut the door. Hurrying after her as he looked around. Taking it all in. He had never seen a home this close up. This was exciting! Yet it did not truly sway his thoughts of how best to answer her question without getting shot. She had made indication she could and would do such a thing. He felt the cold more now than he had before. His body felt it as far as his touch went but he himself hadn't truly registered it until the night set it. He followed her over to the fireplace. Watching her as she made a bundle of twigs, dried pine needles, and smaller sticks. Interesting. What was she doing now? Watching her in intriguement as she started the fire. He looked to her. "Amazing. I really like this fireplace thing. It was a wonderful experience to see. A controlled fire is much nicer than the ones I have seen from space." He said with a smile.<br/><br/>He then followed her and looked around at the rooms. Nodding his head as he followed her. Looking around then slowly turned to face her. Now. This was the moment. He walked towards her and backed her to the wall. Putting his hands on either side of his companions head. Their faces not far apart but leaving a good amount of physical space between their forms. "Now that we are here I will answer your question. I will answer it with the utmost honesty whether you like it or not I cannot say. However, I prefer to be honest and you said humans usually prefer honesty."<br/><br/>He looked into her eyes. "What I see when I look at you is many things. I see a woman whose beauty is not just outside its inside. A woman far more beautiful than any model I have seen from space. Her beauty is true and natural. Not superficial and usually a result of those powders applied to the skin." He didn't miss a beat. "What I see is a woman who is kind, caring, compassionate, honest and sweet yet guarded and wary. Strong and understanding. Intelligent beyond her years. I see a woman who risked everything to help a spaceman she neither knew nor liked."<br/><br/>He kept going. "I see a woman who if I was given a chance I'd never leave. A woman I'd stick around on planet Hyausho which is also called Earth...for. A woman who I'd make this shell permanent for. Not just as in taking the shell that is human but as in actually fitting in and looking like one of them. For my people to give up a form we know for a form that is merely a mask of who we really are...means we feel a connection to someone. Someone we would fight for and protect whether they needed it or not. I see a woman I could see falling madly in love with but due to circumstances have been told I am forbidden to view as even just a friend. What I see is a beautiful woman who I don't have a chance with...despite how much I wish it to be otherwise. That is what I see when I look at you."<br/><br/>He pulled back and was soon with more space between them. "Andt that...is the truth in its entirety." He then turned to walk down the hallway. "However, now I am also half suspecting to either be hit or shot and will gladly take both or either because it will not change a thing that I have said." He said with an amused tone. "Just based on how our interactions have gone." He then began to slowly walk and peer into the rooms. Walking down it then back up to the room closest to her. "I think I like this room best. It is bigger." He said. Of course there seemed to be no difference but he could tell this room was bigger spacial wise than the others.
