Lore remained standing in front of the fireplace, rather captivated by what he was telling her, her silence seemed to be longer then she wanted it to be yet, she didn't have the right form of words to tell him what she was thinking. Her eyes watched him rather intently as he followed the instructions to making a fire, he was very smart, smarter then some of her own kind here. That thought spread a smile over her lips as she waited for him to stand, moving back to give him the room he may need to do so . Lore hadn't been paying much attention when he took the lighter from her hand and started the fire, or the fact that he had gotten a good scent of her, though it should have been a good scent, it was one of jasmine flowers and honey.<br/><br/>"You can have that lighter... As long as you don't burn my home down around us.."<br/><br/>She warned him with a teasing joke as she, though as the conversation moved onward and way, Lore crossed her arms over the front of her stomach though brought her right one up so that her chin could rest in the palm of her hand. Her gaze seemed to never leave his eyes, a rather bad habit from being in the military, though she hoped it didn't make him uncomfortable. Thinking over what he had told her, now a shake came from her as she lifted her head up from her hand.<br/><br/>"That isn't the only reason we push others away. We push others away when they deeply hurt us. Like... say one human loves another one and the other human is not faithful to the other, that hurts.... and so we push them away. Push them away and try to cover up that hurt.."<br/><br/>Lore didn't like talking about this subject but... it was the only thing she could come up with on such short noticed. Her lips pursed together as she seemed to turn most of her emotions off, rather keeping a blank and empty expression over her face. Looking up to him a smile broke through listening to what he was telling her, least there was the chance to be friends now.<br/><br/>"Well I am happy to know you have been correct so far about me but, you haven't seen all of me, I may appear to be nice and 'attractive' to you but... most humans here don't see it that way. The men on the base seem me as their General not someone to love, and the outside world apart from the base... well... they just seem to look right through me, getting what they want and then move on..."<br/><br/>She let that sink in, though now regretting that she had ever said it, she hoped that he didn't connect anything of what she was saying to him, she wasn't sure she could handle or bring up the past for any matter of conversation.  She was rather surprised when he spoke about his eyes, this made her take a step closer to him, moving into him just enough so that she can have a better look at his eyes. Since he was brought to base and in the cage of the lab, she was taken back by those eyes. Though yet strangely attracted to them. Looking to the copper that lay there, she brought her hand up without thought, pressing it to the side of his cheek as she turned and tilted his head for her to inspect his eyes.<br/><br/>Pressing her lips into a tight line she slid her hand down from his cheek dropping it at her side before she moved back from him, giving him his personal space once more. when he spoke about her eyes there was a flush that came raging under the flesh of her cheeks. Her head tilted down and her gaze completely averted his for some time, though she did speak to him.<br/><br/>"Thank you. No one has ever said that about my eyes before. Though I suppose that is because I haven't ever been that close to anyone either..."<br/><br/>She thought about that for a moment before shaking her head, maybe it wasn't her that hadn't been close to people, though rather people being close to her not paying attention. Something she learned about Hiko quickly, he was very in tune to her, he had observed her well, from her eyes to her feet she bet. The distraction of her thoughts brought her short as the conversation seemed to shift to something she would be more able to work with. It brought a smile to her face as she raised her head back up to him, starring for a bit before she nodded her head in confirmation of what he was saying to her.<br/><br/>"I didn't exactly think you would be able to tell me every single detail, though a little is better then nothing. I will teach you everything I can about the military though some things will be kept off the book.  For now... we are friends, is this ok?"<br/><br/>She nodded her head lightly as she watched him stand and stretch his muscles, her eyes couldn't help but to fall to were that shirt raised above his pants, showing her a trail of muscle there. She wasn't sure if he was closely watching her but.. if he was he would clearly see her looking to that spill of flesh there. Looking away quickly she would raise her eyes back to his face, trying her hardest to cover the blush that was in her cheek.  One week with him here... there was no telling if she would survive it or not, but here was to hopeful wishing.<br/><br/>"Hovering and flying cars, that would be the last thing this planet needs considering some people can't drive as it is."<br/><br/>There was a droll stare at the bare thought of seeing some of the crazy people from earth driving around in a hovering craft of some sort sent near fear through Lore. There was a honest shake of her head to him.<br/><br/>"I think we can do without the flying cars.... What I am interested in is you, and what sort of things you are interested in. If I knew that I could help teach you more stuff."<br/><br/>Lore moved, going to the left down another yet narrow hallway, the east wing only had two rooms on its side, which if Hiko peered into them both he would see the wall to the right of each room was plastered with large monitors for her duel connected computers and laptops. Lore took him down to the last door on the left, pushing it open which showed a room that was about the same as the last one, though was a little more crowd with other electronic stuff.  When Lore entered into the room the door would fall shut behind her, if Hiko didn't walk in as well. Looking to the right side under the large monitors mounted on the wall she would point to a flat screen there.<br/><br/>It was a flat screen that was twenty inches, it wasn't much compared to the large seventy-two inch monitor that was mounted on the wall. She would point to it, saying in a silent sort of way that this was the one that he could take.  One thing he could see different about this room and as he was coming down the hall was the large stand up speakers that were within the east wing of the home and in this room as well as the hallway. All of which were leading back to a large stand up radio. When and if Lore was ever alone she would turn the radio on and dance or sing when no one was looking or listening for that matter.<br/><br/>"I am not too sure what will happen after this week but.... I will think about it from now til then, though with any luck your people will come for you before I have to return to base..."<br/><br/>The words were dripping with sadness at the thought, but she placed a small fragile smile to her lips, trying to cover up what he may have heard from her. It might not have been a good idea to bring him here... even more so not a good idea to bring him to this room. The door was closed behind them due to a hinge that hadn't been screwed to the door and wall frame correctly. Some of Lore's handy work wasn't always up to par on some levels. That though seemed to send a flush of color sweeping through her cheeks as she moved, sliding pass him as he went to get the television from the floor.<br/><br/>"I'll just open the door for you..."
