"It could have been but i'm hoping it wasn't." David told Teelan. He hoped that the moron didn't pay for his curiosity but at the same time, wanted to punch him for being so stupid.

[Archer]

"Right." Teelan said slowly. A bit unstable, isn't he? he thought.

[p-sto]

Cyril blushed and averted his eyes. "It...it can be." He stated trying to hide his embarrassment. "I just wanted to express how grateful I am that you saved my life and I didn't want for you to feel regret over James. There wasn't anything you could have done for him."

[Musicman247]

"I see," Zefeer said. "It is a sign of gratitude as well as comfort," she said. She placed ber hand on Cyril's, enclosing it in blue fingers. "Thank you for your comfort. It feels nice."

[p-sto]

Cyril smiled at Zefeer unsure of what to say. Is it wrong that I feel so comfortable around her? She's a stranger of a completely different race but she's gone to so much effort to be welcoming and to take care of me. I hope she doesn't get into trouble for what she just did. Crap is she still in my head?

In a panic Cyril tried clear his head so might be able to control what thoughts Zefeer had access to. Unfortunately this seemed to have opposite effect as he thought of things he didn't want her know. Primarily at this moment there was a quick acknowledgement to the fact that he did feel a degree of attraction to the Heelox, mixed with a sense of shame as he felt the feelings were inappropriate, when she was clearly only trying to be friendly and they weren't even physically compatible for proper coupling.

[Musicman247]

Zefeer was indeed still "listening" to Cyril's thoughts, and her face was probably funny to watch as it reacted to the many thoughts he had. It went from happy to tickled as he scrambled to collect himself, then shocked at his revelation of attraction.

The Heelox took her hand off of Cyril's, but did not pull the other out of his holding hand. "Did you want me to stimulate you in that way?" she asked. "It would be an honor to do so to a part Ethreal." With one of her free hands she hesitantly reached toward Cyril's boxers.

[p-sto]

Cyril felt a tinge of anxiety as Zefeer reached towards his underwear. Overwhelmed, he struggled to put something into words but a number of thoughts ran through his head. Do your people feel love towards those they mate with? I know she said that over her life she will mate with many different males but will they be special to her or is just fulfilling a biological need to perpetuate the race. She cares about me but would she be making this offer if I wasn't part Ethreal. Is there any way that I can reciprocate the pleasure she gives me? Does this mean anything to her beyond a chance to feel that she is getting closer to her gods? [&@%!] she really is wonderful, I hope that she isn't offended that I'm thinking this.

[Musicman247]

Zefeer's hand paused as Cyril's thoughts came like a flood.

Some I will feel for, some I won't even know, Zefeer explained. Once a month I release, which attracts males to me whether I want them or not. I admit that you being part Ethreal is more than enough motivation for me to offer stimulation, but beyond that I DO care for you, however strange that may be. There are things that could be done to reciprocate the stimulation, but are much more physically involved. I am not even sure a non-Heelox would be able to accomplish them. And no, I am not offended.

Zefeer smiled after answering all of Cyril's questions.

Shall I continue?

[p-sto]

Cyril's mind went to thoughts of kissing Zefeer and receiving both manual and oral pleasure from her. The thoughts were met with a strange sense of heightened anxiety from him. Cyril then uncontrollably started to recall his first and only sexual encounter. It was considered a rite of passage among those he had completed his training with. A woman who his squad mates had paid for so he would know what the touch of a woman was like.

As he relived the mixed feelings of anticipation, nervousness and shame he tried to push them out of his head. I know this is different but... Cyril shifted to the side of the infirmary bed as he continued his thought. ...perhaps you could simply just lie next to me. It would be nice to feel close to someone who cares about me.

[Musicman247]

Zefeer nodded then climbed up on the table next to Cyril. Due to her anatomy she could not lie on her side like the human. Instead she stood next to him then crouched down, resting her thorax on the table, her upper body still vertical.

"I am sorry I cannot do exactly as you asked," she said with regret in her voice.

[p-sto]

Cyril put his arms around Zefeer and said. "It's okay. Are you comfortable?"

[Musicman247]

"As comfortable as can be expected," Zefeer said.

Hidden:

Arms around her thorax?

[p-sto]

Hidden:

Sorry edited, looking at bit deeper. Thorax is the torso. So where the thorax and the abdomen meet.

Cyril frowned and said. "Do your people not keep close physical contact as a form of comfort or is it just that it is... difficult because of our differences. If you're uncomfortable we could not do this."

[Musicman247]

"Oh, no, I am fine," Zefeer said with a smile. "One cannot ever be one hundred percent comfortable, though, can they?" She placed her hands on Cyril's arms. "Physical contact like this is foreign, but that is to be expected when encountering a new species and trying to find commonalities in anatomy."

[p-sto]

Cyril's frown returned to a smile and he said. "Well thank you for trying. I'm enjoying having you close to me."

[Musicman247]

Zefeer smiled as well. "I am glad you are happy," she said. "What other things do humans enjoy?"

[p-sto]

"Um well... I suppose with my military training not much of life was focused on training." Cyril replied. "I suppose talking with others, music, reading, playing, eating. Some people enjoy consuming alcohol. What do the Heelox enjoy beyond technology?"

[unokitsune]

"You have beautiful eyes. Tell me will your mistress get angry if I decline your offer? No offense to her, For quite a many humans, sex and anything related is a special thing. I wish only her to pleasure her and to have her smile at me." Aeris spoke to the Zandri girl. "Also aren't you cold in that? I could give you some things of mine if you wish to cover up or...is that ice on your skin?" Aeris asked after looking closer.

[Musicman247]

"Nothing, really," Zefeer said. "We naturally interested in technology and spend most of our lives working on new things."

[p-sto]

"I suppose that the challenge of developing new technology can be quite interesting." Cyril replied. "But you don't do anything purely for entertainment? Even as a soldier I occasionally had diversions."

The Smiths cracked their fingers and they and the white room faded.
No doubt the two O'Sekra and David were shocked by him materialising in front of them.

"No miss, the Mistress won't," The Zandri said, "I am fine Miss, I come from cold worlds."

[Musicman247]

Zefeer frowned. "I never have had the need for diversions when I have my tools," she said. "I am sorry that I do not meet your expectations."

[unokitsune]

"Excuse me miss Zandri, would you give this to Kreeva?" Aeris asked and pulled out a gold carved necklace with a brilliant ruby pendant on it, "I wanted her to have something special as I'm very eager to be by her side."

[p-sto]

Cyril kept smiling and he started to gently stroke Zefeer's back. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend. I suppose diversions are less important when your work is satisfying." As he touched Zefeer he wondered. Is she an arthropod? If she doesn't have a spine I wonder what parts of her body are more sensitive.

[Justice knight]

Aeris
"Yes miss," The Zandri said.
