Hiko had enjoyed the short whiff of her beautiful aroma. He couldn't place the flower but honey was something they had as well. So he knew it was flower and honey. He also knew it smelled wonderful. Blinking from his thoughts he looked at her. Smiling brightly at her words. "Thank you. I will treasure it always." He said. Putting his new Earth "treasure" in his pants pocket for now. "Promise. No burning down of the house." He said with a smile. He rather enjoyed the little gift of friendship she had given him. It was his first piece of Earth that he had ever gotten or received so it would be impossible to explain how something so small could mean so much to him.<br/><br/>He decided he was going to answer her question about the comet that she had asked. He liked looking into her eyes and it didn't make him uncomfortable. The only time it made him a bit uncomfortable was when she had that cute made face on and her eyes seemed to glisten with her anger. He listened as she spoke. "If I had a lady I would never be unfaithful. To do so would desecrate the woman's honor and hurt her status in our society." He shook his head. "That and it is morally wrong." He said seriously. Looking up at her. "Our society does that as well. Though it is more hard to notice except in our women. They have a habit of isolating you and making you feel like crap if you hurt them. I have seen this but never personally experienced this." He explained.<br/><br/>He watched a smile break through. "You have a beautiful smile when you let yourself truly smile." He said softly. He looked at her. "Most humans are blind and stupid then." He said with a very blunt tone to what he said. "The men on the base must be afraid of the awesomeness that is Lore. That is the only explanation for why the men on the base would be such idiots." He said. Laughing a bit. "I told you they were idiots." He said teasingly. Listening as she continued. "You haven't been looking in the right places. There is an old saying on our world...." He paused for a second then continued. "Love comes to you when you least expect it. If you look for it non stop then you will find only the wrong affections. If you wait and let it come to you then you will find a love unforgettable even through time and space itself." He smiled at her. "I firmly believe in this saying of ours."<br/><br/>He looked her dead in the eyes. "The men of your world are blind, stupid, and vain. Only men of those characteristics would pass up the chance to have a lifetime of affections and love with a woman such as yourself." He looked at her. "Please do not let their idiocy and lack of smarts on what to do bring you down. You are stronger than that and you have the ability to go far. Whether or not you have a mate does not make you who you are. You are a wonderful woman who deserves only the best. If the men seem to look through you as you said then they are not what is best for you." He smiled at her. "So do not let it bring you down." He said with a smile.<br/><br/>Watching her get closer and looked in his eyes. At a closer appearance the copper hues seemed to swirl with a strange life. Much like a slow motion whirlpool of copper color. They seemed to expand a bit then retract as he watched her. It was an almost unnoticable amount of expansion and retraction unless you were staring dead into his eyes as she was. He watched her and felt her hand touch his cheek. He watching her as she moved his head around. Letting her. The copper color from other angles seemed to tint the whites and pupils of his eyes. Unless you were looking at if from those angles as she was doing. He didn't comment about the fact she had been all up close and personal. This was because he had liked the feel of her soft skin against his warm cheek. He liked the fact she was interested in his eyes.<br/><br/>He looked at her. "I suppose that would explain it." He said in a clearly unconvinced tone. He happened to like her feet. They were smaller than most of the women on his planet. That was because the women on his world tended to be a bit larger than most of the men but still oh so very sexy. Yet still none appealed to him the way this Earthling female did. "Yes. I believe you will like what I can teach you." He said with a smile. "I will gladly learn anything you will teach me about the military. That is one thing we don't really get about Earthlings. Why they must have military to war with each other. We await the day that Earthlings work as a whole to advance into the future." He listened to her. His eyes lighting up and sparkling a bit like when the sunlight hits a bright copper penny. "Yes. That is quite wonderful. Thank you for being my friend." He said with a smile.<br/><br/>He finished stretching as the shirt lowered. He had taken to looking around the room. He had semi-noticed her staring at the flesh that had been revealed. Figuring it had been a momentary thing rather than her outright staring there. He did notice her blushing. "That is true. I have seen from space that the people of Earth are not exactly safe drivers. They do not seem to drive properly. However, we believe that it is something that will eventually smooth itself out. Only time will tell though." He said. "Perhaps you are right about Earthlings being able to do without the flying cars. Especially if they cannot drive on the ground." He said. Musing it. "That will be something I will need to transmit to my people at a later date." He said musingly.<br/><br/>He tilted his head to the side as he focused back on her. "I am interested in learning more about human culture. I have noticed that there is many cultures on this planet. They all seem to worship some form of diety. Seemingly the same diety by other names and appearances. What I don't understand is why this seems to be a huge basis of the various Earth societies. Is it supposed to help provide something to believe in other than what is before you?" He asked in puzzlement. "Those weapons your men have. They appear to be similar to what we call blasters. Blasters are faster and stronger in power. They use pure energy versus what we have seen glimpses of coming out of the barrel of one of those. What is the purpose of a weapon that fires something not energy? What exactly does it fire for that matter? We are never able to determine what it is that is being fired at them." He looked at her with a smile. "Of course I want to learn more about the vessel we traveled here in."<br/><br/>He followed her. "I am willing to learn anything you are willing to teach me." He said honestly. He looked around as they went into another room. He looked at all the moniters. He caught the door and followed her inside. Looking around at all the monitors on the wall. Looking at the flatscreen she pointed at. Gathering that was the one he was to take. He walked to it and unplugged it carefully. He would have to be careful to not touch it when it was not unplugged and off. Once it had been off a few minutes he took it from the floor and held it under his arm carefully. Carrying it like it weighed little to nothing. Which in fact due to the fact he was much stronger than a human it really didn't weigh too much more than a feather to him. He had noticed all the large speakers...he believed they were called...standing around the area leading to a strange large radio looking thing. Hopefully these things were mostly off so he didn't absorb too much of it.<br/><br/>He listened as she finally spoke. Nodding his head. "I do not know either. He caught the dripping sadness. "I am not sure if I want them to come for me that soon. It will make the time I am able to spend with a woman that much shorter." He said with a sigh. He ran a hand through his hair. "I like this room." He said with a smile. "It is the oddest room in the house but I like it. He watched her slide past him. He looked at her. "Back at the base...you asked a question I really did not want to answer." He looked at the sky aka ceiling. "You asked me why I was there. Basically asked how I knew the materials of the comet would not last." He looked back at her. "You asked me what I was doing at the crash site. Since we are friends I suppose it is safe enough to answer."<br/><br/>He paused for a moment.<br/><br/>"I was at the crash site because I was the cause of the crash sight. For you see...I was the comet. That was my shell before this one. The collision with the planet had destroyed that shell. I had to scan for the nearest intelligent lifeform to create a new shell. Upon finding it was Earthlings, which I believe you call yourself humans, I formed my new shell. I had just formed it mere moments before you and all those men showed up. I was within the smoke. The reason I did not take out the mean holding lethal weapons was there was no actual sign of hostility. I would have defended myself but I was going to do everything in my power to show I was not a hostile influence." He looked her in the eyes. "It is why I did not cause trouble. It is why I showed no hostility. It is why I was a good little prisoner and did not plan to escape. I was trying to show that my people were not of the hostile invader variety."<br/><br/>He shook his head. "I wanted to show a good example and had hoped that would get me free. However, it wouldn't have as I came to realize. I had overheard several of the scientists stating they were merely awaiting orders from the admiral before they began experimenting on me." He closed his eyes. "The only reason I was not subjected to forms of torture was you gave me a week of freedom. Had I also tried to escape on my own I would soon be overpowered and have gotten myself shot up. Some gunshot projectiles I could dodge as I am faster than humans but a barrage of them would likely almost kill my shell." He opened his eyes. "Plus if I escaped it would make it so I could not speak to the beautiful woman who caught my interest."<br/><br/>He looked at the television. "Then I would not be having wonderful conversations with a new friend. I had evaluated all the possible scenarios. While it was slightly likely I could have maybe escaped with minimal to no injury there was a higher chance I would be stopped because my new shell was too injured to continue on. While it is possible to survive gunshot wounds...the fact that my shell would most likely be riddled with those gunshot projectiles would make me vunerable. If I attempted such escape upon recapture I would be viewed as a hostile alien and thus be subjected to worse treatment. That meant the best option was to stay put and pray my people came for me before I became a lab rat." He shook his head again. Looking at her once more. "So when you came up with the plan to help me escape, even for just a week, it was like an answer to the silent prayers I had been making."<br/><br/>He ran a hand through his hair which pulled the shirt up just a sliver for a moment. "Which is why I cannot express in words the gratitude I feel towards you for doing such a thing. It meant a lot to me to have my freedom back even if just for a small amount of time. I am thankful beyond words that you gave me this chance." He began to head towards the door. Looking at her. "A successful kidnapping of the alien such as yours shows just how brilliant you are. They really don't give you enough credit. Even though that head scientist, Jason I think his name was, thinks highly of you." He stopped talking after that.
