Lore sat in front of the fire prodding the coals to life before she would toss another log or two onto it. If the fire died out completely it would be harder to restart, though more then that this was a distraction from her and Hiko's closer encounter moments ago. Her lips pressed into a line, listening to him speak, she could listen for hours, just hearing him talk about anything. It was a soothing tone of voice, one that she found a sudden drawl to, her head turned over her shoulder to look back at him now. Hearing him speak of raising something up from a child, it brought other questions from her now.<br/><br/>"You don't have a woman or kids... not even a pet?"<br/><br/>He had told her before that he wasn't involved with anyone, which in itself drew a another attraction to him. Thinking that over swept a light colored blush to her cheeks, which made her turn back to the fireplace. She should be mentally kicking herself at this point, but she couldn't find a need or a reason to do so. The fact that he was a alien should have been good enough but.. that sounded a little stupid, surly he thought the same about her, right? When he asked for her thoughts, she pulled back from the fire, moving  back to the wall so that she could cuddle back under the warmth of her blanket.<br/><br/>"Well... I was just thinking... one day I will come back home and Edward might not remember me, not trust me anymore. He is the only thing that shares this land and home with me, it makes me sad to think that he might forget me considering I stay gone most of the time."<br/><br/>She turned her head just a bit so that she could look to him, try to see what he was thinking. Though rather then getting a explanation from him, he just moved closer, which made her a little tense for a moment before she settled. It wasn't a violent motion but with the strong attraction she was having to him, she didn't think it was for the better that he get even closer to her. When he grinned to her offer to teach him to cook, a smile filled the lines of her lips now. Her hands folded over her lap as she nodded her head to confirm it.<br/><br/>"Maybe we can start teaching you to cook at breakfast in the morning.. or dinner."<br/><br/>Looking to the fire now she thought over everything he was telling her, about the other race that seemed to want to dominate the others. It was much like earth, there were people here that sought to do the same thing, rich to the poor, the third world countries to others. Lore and Hiko were starting to seem more and more alike, the only thing that  made them different was the fact they were two different races, but did that really seem to matter, or later on would it matter? It was a lot to think on, which Lore seemed to be doing a lot more of since they left the base. Taking in a deep breath she smiled now.<br/><br/>"How about we go look at the stars now? Seems to be getting a little cramped in the house right now. We can climb up the side of the house to the roof."<br/><br/>She finally sheds the first large smile she had since they met, even more so since they had come home. Moving against the wall, using it to help her stand, she moved in the direction of the door, though stopped as she caught the flakes of snow falling outside now. That would make this star gazing night a canceled one. Which was kinda sad considering Lore wanted to do just that. Turning about face she looked to Hiko she pointed her finger tot he window, showing the snow that was now falling outside of the cabin.<br/><br/>"Looks like we will have to plan this for another night to..." There was a pause when he mentioned Edward again. "Sure, you can meet him, you can go with me when I pick him up tomorrow."<br/><br/>That would keep her from driving that long distance alone, and give her a little bit of company along the way, she only hoped that he wouldn't distract her enough to make her drive off the side of the mountain. That thought led to another which made her blank for only a moment before hearing his next question. Her eyes rose to look at him now, thinking it over as she moved back towards him now. Coming to stop directly in front of him so that she starred up at him, her upturned face slid the hair back over her shoulder, leaving her face and neck bare. Speaking now with honest tone.<br/><br/>"I don't know, there are those that need me here, Edward, the men back on base. I couldn't just drop everything I do to go to another world, more less to outer space were I can't breath air. But if I could, I think I would want to, to see what else is out there."<br/><br/>Her smile widen just a bit, lowering her head just enough so she didn't have to look up at him any more. Her hand moved out, reaching out to the front of his chest just for a moment, she had been wondering for some time, that glow his body gave off, was it the glow of body heat or something else. Her hand pressed in against the center of his chest, resting it there for a moment before sliding it up over were the heart should be. tilting her head back up to look at him, waiting to see if he wanted her to move her hand or not, though before she could catch that look she pulled her hand back to her side, flushing before she moved around him to go into the kitchen.<br/><br/>"Do you want something to drink?"<br/><br/>Lore certainly wanted something to drink, her lips were just as dry as the back of her throat. She didn't know what incentive she had to touch him but, it felt good and left a impression on her hand, as though she could still feel it. Taking the blanket from her shoulders she folded it over the back of a chair as she searched the room for something to drink, as though she had forgotten were everything was.
