Lore's deep thought let her be off guard, paying little to no heed to Hiko as he came to sit down next to her. When he spoke her eyes cut to him quick, as though finally seeing that he was there. She starred at him for a moment, perhaps longer then what she should have but... he was a male, a alien, but still a male, and well Lore... a female. The strong attraction she felt there bothered her a lot but, the week that they were going to be here together, could she really ignore it? Biting down on her inner lip she turned to look back at the fire, trying to decide what other questions she could get answered.<br/><br/>"While I wasn't in the labs.... what else did you hear? Anything that you may think is important."<br/><br/>She had always had the feeling that there were those inside the base that were working against her but... she wasn't sure. Yet, Hiko said she didn't have anything to worry about but that was all she could do now. Inhaling a deep breath she finally looked back at him, starring into those eyes as she tried to think of how to describe what she was feeling but, the words that played over and over in her head seemed to be the wrong ones. She wanted to know more about him, him and his people but more specifically him. It wasn't often that Lore was attracted to men, but that was mainly due to her being on base with the same people everyday without a change. Even worse was knowing what their habits were like, so that didn't help the cause either.<br/><br/>"I am not sure what else to ask... I mean there are questions but, I don't want to pry into your... personal life to find the answer, or offend you."<br/><br/>There came a slight flush to her cheeks as she tipped her head down to stare into her cup of noodles, holding it between her hands before bringing it to perch on her lips were she suckled the broth from the cup. Lowering it back down she turned back to him with a renewed smile.<br/><br/>"I have asked you a lot of questions, maybe you should get a turn and ask me some questions. Seems fair right?"<br/><br/>She rolled the cup between her hands as she crossed her legs one of the other, drawing the edge of the blanket up over her body. Though her hand rested at the edge there, rubbing the soft fur between her fingers before wrapping the hand back around the cup. The fire was blazing warm and hot, but it was still a little cool within the house, now she wondered, did he want a blanket as well?<br/><br/>"Are you cold too? I have extra blankets, I can get you one if you want it."
