Hey Guys, so next week I'm thinking of taking a break from the usual story-line and doing something a bit different. Hopefully you guys will like it.
Maybe it was all the testosterone talking or maybe it was the fact that he hated to see a woman cry; whatever it was, Nathan couldn’t help himself as he moved forward. Quietly, his hands went around Asheral’s shoulders rubbing them with all the care he could muster, though he was timid that the woman might release some sort of neurotoxin and poison him. Both of his hands wavered over her skin, tapping it lately and pulling back for an instant; yet, he finally let them rest just on the surface. So, soft. The captain thought to himself as the odd-mixture of fur and flesh meshed downward; it was like touching velvet. Almost mesmerized by how soft she was, he stroked up and down, finding that the spots of teal were a tad bit rougher to the touch, bordering on scales.
There isn’t time to be playing around. I need to help her get over her insecurities and then figure out where the hell the control room is. If I can just do that, I can shut this place down for good and get the hell off this rotten rock. Thinking this to himself, he finally tilted his head down and spoke softly; his voice maintaining the accent from prior. Each syllable passed from his lips with calculated ease before he managed to find her looking up at him to listen. “Hey, you’re important to everyone around here, not just me. You’re beautiful and strong and you inspire each of us to do our best, but for me you’re more than that Asheral. Asheral, you’re special to me, you’ve always been around and well, been an encouragement. Not only that, you’re beautiful in every way possible.”
Saying all of this, Nathan hoped to God he wasn’t just digging a massive ditch for Alexander. He had already fucked the guy over more than once today, so doing it one more time just seemed like over kill. Still, it felt good to at least be helping this woman in some way, maybe it would be a balance of karma or possibly even lead to something good happening for a change. Eh….either I’m about to receive another nasty surprise or maybe it will go my way this time. Who knows and who cares at this point? Another setback wouldn’t exactly hurt me at this point….so long as it doesn’t kill me. That thought alone was enough to nearly make him peel away from the girl’s body in sheer horror at the possibility of something infiltrating his body. Yet, he managed to keep himself situated just against her, albeit with a heart rate now skyrocketing.
When the alien girl finally did pull her hands away from her face, she smiled sweetly back up at Nathan, whom she assumed to be Alexander. It was an innocent look, one that completely disarmed the Captain, which only further deepened the stun that hit him when the next few words left her lips. “Well, Mr. Esquire, if I’m that special to you….we might have to see how far into your bedroom our little date this weekend leads us. Now, I know you didn’t just come up here to get some eye candy, so what do you need?” Nathan’s head had already drawn back with his eyes dilating slowly by the obvious innuendo and the sexual advance. Well, he just got someone laid, so that was good enough for now; however, he needed to get on with his mission otherwise, well, this would be all for jack-shit.
“Yeah, sorry Asheral. I forgot how to get to the control room, the big boss wants me to rely a message from the front about the Vorshilders that keep popping up; says that a normal messenger doesn’t carry the same wait as their leader.” Hoping she would buy the lie, Nathan stood there blushing weakly at what she had said moments prior before seeing her nod back at him.
“Yeah, we’ve already lost at least six men out there and no one seems to be doing anything. Alright, Alexander, its down the hall to the left. After that, you need to hang a right after two hallways and then just follow it all the way down, it should be on your left after that. The keycode is 64028. Don’t forget it as that lazy bitch in there never gets up to open the door.” Nathan only nodded thankfully before smiling.
“Thanks Asheral, I’m looking forward to our date and whatever it might lead to.” Shooting her a wink after that, he left heading for the hallway that she had just pointed out. No sooner than he had disappeared around the corner, a feminine silhouette entered through the front door; she is shivering slightly as she stomps into the heated room slamming the doors shut behind her. Snow had coated most of her body and from the sounds entering through the crack in the door, a massive storm had already brewed outside. The figure finally slumped against the front desk, removing her hood as long red hair flopped out from the entrance. “Have, you seen a male come through here?” She asked sneezing once before her pure black eyes looked into Asheral’s.
It was Tesla, having traversed through the icy-surface of Waquil now stood in the mine which Nathan had made his way into. Unknowing that he was there, all she had done was followed the Vorshilder’s tracks. Having already encountered the monster, it had simply waved a paw at her, signaling to the mine before it had pushed her down the hill. Now covered from head to toe in snow and irritated, she stared down wickedly at Asheral and described the man she was looking for. The terrified secretary merely pointed down the hall stating that she had just sent him down there. “Wh….what do you want with Alexander?” She murmured weakly causing Tesla to look at her curiously for a second, then shrug.
“That’s my business, not yours. Just do your job and I’ll be gone before you know it.”
