Yes, Freya was right and at the same time she was wrong. Of course he knew, that trust was not building within such a short time. It would take a long time to win the trust of Freya, even if he was willing to invest a lot in this. Freya was more than worth in his opinion to be trusted. But ok, he was some geek and not the most experienced when it came to dealing with enemies personally. Still her scooting away hurt him more than he would have believed and the silent words she mumbled next, didn’t help to ease the pain. <span style="color: #80BF00">„Leave me alone…“</span><br/><br/>Geek’s shoulders slumped some and he looked at her with sad, puppy eyes. If she wished so, he would do it. She mattered already a lot to him and he didn’t want to upset her. But still, he had thought that there was already something growing like a little daisy of friendship in the midst of some bare wasteland. Maybe it had been wishful thinking, maybe Freya would never be a friend to him. Still he wasn’t willing to give up hope. Angrily he laid back on the parachutes, his hands crossed behind his head, looking up to the unrefined ceiling of the cargo area.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">„I understand that you don’t trust me, don’t trust us, Freya. We had to do some bad things to break the old Princess into cooperating. I know that none of the folks in there liked to do that to a woman. They are all soldiers and they are trained to kill, but they are all humans too. Yes, you are a hostage, but I doubt anybody wants to keep you as a hostage once we reached Ovia. We have no interest in killing you, Freya. Or in hurting you. Or in you getting killed. You should have felt, that we all cared about you, once we learned what your doctors did to you. But ok, I will leave you alone…if you wish so. Maybe you would understand us better, if I answer your questions. Questions you surely have. I mean, well, we are aliens, aren’t we?“</span><br/><br/>Geek turned his head and looked at Freya. She was such a beautiful woman and from the look of it, she was a lonely woman. He wanted to hold her in his arm, wanted to comfort her, give her strength. He wanted to be there for her, but she wanted him to leave her alone. Damn, it hurt.</div>
