Dayshift 42: Tasty Burger - Afternoon

After lunch, Kanji had just decided to stay sitting at the table and slowly finish off his soda while he tried to think of something productive he could do while he had the chance here in town. ...Ah, who was he fooling? He had no clue what the hell to do. His senpai probably had a list of things they could all be doing while in town. Investigating stuff or mapping the landscape or gathering information from the townspeople or... something like that. But Kanji had no clue how to go about any of those things. He had the observational skills of a rock and him walking around trying to talk to everyone wouldn't end well.

But even he knew he couldn't just sit here, slurping on his soda all day. He just needed to think of something. Yeah. Something.

....

He drank some more.

[unknowingly for Zex]

The human went rigid all of a sudden! It was so strange to see them get so... hard without warning. ZEX's smile grew wider. Was he changing color already? Humans here were so receptive!

Well, most of them, anyway. Shame about the human from this morning...

"Mmmmm, yes, I was a soldier. A fairly good one, or at least that's what they told me." ZEX leered at him, and his tone didn't seem appropriate for matters of war. "But that was a long time ago, and I'm much more... friendly now." Still leering, although for a moment he got a questioning look. "What is a 'Germany'?" Perhaps some human term for a quadrant in the galaxy?

Mmmm, now he was getting somewhere. The human was turning a lovely red color! Inviting him on as so many humans did. They really were so wanton, in their own shy way.

A country, hmm? Then this human was still talking about Sol then. Kanji probably hadn't achieved interstellar flight either, like so many of the humans here. Such a shame! But certainly no obstacle to a meaningful relationship as far as ZEX was concerned...

Oh? The human seemed to be offering him his hand. Well, if he was holding it out like that, surely he wanted ZEX to take it? ZEX reached out for it, still smiling at him in a somewhat creepy way.

"Mmmm, what's wrong, human?" Thick with innuendo. "You don't think I'm going to hurt you, do you?" Perish the thought.

Well, he hadn't expected that reaction, certainly! Especially after the human had offered him his hand so readily. Had he misinterpreted? Or was the human just shyer as most?

As usual, ZEX preferred to think of himself as the wronged party. The human could be as shy as he liked! ZEX could be very patient... even if Kanji seemed abnormally (as much as any human activity could be considered more abnormal than the rest) alarmed at the moment. Perhaps not prepared for the intensity of his feelings towards ZEX? He could be overwhelming at first.

"Hee! Hee! Hee!" One had to be patient, after all. "You, human, of course! Who else would I be talking about?" Smiling at him too widely again. "Unless you're not human either?" Entirely possible, given the bodies everyone was changed into when they came here.

Although, not being human didn't change the fact that they both still had human bodies, and those bodies could still be used in... interesting ways...

At least now the human seemed to be calming down, thankfully. They could really get so hysterical over nothing! In some ways, they had their similarities to his own species...

"Oh? That's good." Still leering at him. "That means you know how to use that body of yours." It was so easy to smile when he didn't have to think about it. "I'm still learning myself. It can be very tricky... I find having a good teacher to be very useful."

ZEX giggled again. "Hee! Hee! Hee! I told you before, I'm a VUX. But I suppose you don't know what that is, do you? It seems very few people here do." It did get rather tiresome after a while. ZEX kept smiling. "Then again... perhaps you will... mmmm, surprise me."
