Taking everything to mind, Lore lowered the cup of noodles to her side, rather untouched as she crossed her arms over her stomach, propping her right elbow into her left forearm, so that her chin rested within her right hands palm. Her head tilted slightly to the side as she listened to everything he was telling her, she couldn't honestly see the Admiral doing all that for her but... only time would tell. For the most part she wasn't going to pull Quinn and Jeff off her mountain til she thought they were both completely safe. It was still too soon to tell what may or may not happen. Hiko was nearly swearing that no one was going to hurt either of them but... she couldn't trust that, the military was a ruthless game, everyone was out to get the other for knowledge that they knew.<br/><br/>"I would rather not see you as a slab of meat strapped to a table to be experimented on. It isn't right... even if you are a alien."<br/><br/>Her attention came to focus more on the fire, watching the flames as they wavered and danced in the hearth of the fireplace. She was silent for some time, least til Hiko asked about her, and that made her hold her breath a bit. Lore hated talking about herself, she hated it more then anything else out of the whole world. She knew it wasn't going to be easy to talk about herself, so for the most part she would only answer what he asked, unless it was something she felt he didn't need to know. The basic question that he asked made her turn her head to look at him, the first question was easy enough, which she didn't mind answering for the most part.<br/><br/>"Well I ain't the best cook in the world, but I can get by well enough. Some small tv dinners when  am on the go and cup noodles. The times that I am here for a extended leave, I normally cook steak meals, and some old family recipes. Though I don't dare try anything exotic, it never turns out right."<br/><br/>Her brow quirked though as she smiled to the next question, she did have hobbies that she enjoyed a lot, one of them was waiting for her. She was silent for a moment as she gathered what her normal day here at the cabin was like, though some of it she decided to leave out, considering it wasn't as important as the rest of it.<br/><br/>"Well, one of my hobbies is waiting for me at a farm about fifteen miles from here, his name is Edward. After I take care of him there really isn't much time from myself, though when I have the spare down time, I like to hike through my property... at night time, maybe once in a while get the chance to read a book. I mostly just like to sit on my porch and look out at the wildlife that walks around my land, or climb up on the roof to look at the sky at night time. I honestly don't go to town often unless it is for food or body products."<br/><br/>She paused now, letting that settled in as she raised her eyes to the window at her right, looking out of it for a little bit as she inhaled a breath of air and decided if imparting her next row of thoughts would be worth much.<br/><br/>"I haven't been to a club for a dance, never been to a pub for drinks, I haven't even been in town to go eat at a restaurant. I don't have any friends or family here, so it is just me by myself... well and the wild animals."<br/><br/>There was a slight smile as she moved to lower her hands down into her lap, tipping her head back to rest it on the wall behind her as she closed her eyes. Night time was here, and when the afternoon came there would be expected guest showing up. For the most part she was hoping like hell that they didn't embarrass the hell out of her. There was a slight frown to her lips which made her brows furrowed... maybe calling them in hadn't been such a bright idea at a time. Her eyes opened enough to peek out and look back to Hiko as she spoke again.<br/><br/>"If we did have... armed guards show up at my home, ready for a fight.... what would you do?"<br/><br/>More or less Lore wanted to know if he could take care of himself in a gun fight, or any kind of fight for the most part. Waiting and listening her eyes would close as she returned to the way she had been moments before the question. She had been playing so many ideas through her head, so many outcomes, and for the most part she was hoping that Hiko was right, that it wouldn't come to any of that. For the most part she was holding her breath on the inside, just waiting for her front door to be kicked in and the firefight started. Would it come to that?
