I followed him into the study where he told me to sit. I growled.
"I'm not a dog I told him. But if you expect me to help you then treat me with respect. I will treat you the same way."
He nodded. "Then how do you propose we do this?"
"The easiest way would be sitting on the floor facing each other."
"I get that but I don't want to look like a complete imbecile talking to myself."
I sighed. "Very well then do you know what meditating is?"
"Yes the warriors of my people do it often for peace and sound mind."
"Then we will face each other in a meditation pose. Make others think that is what we are doing. Since no one is going to believe I talk. Hell you barely believed me if I hadn't spoken to you."
He grins. "You got me there. But if that is what we are going to do it would be easier in my training room. More space and I can easily get up and train afterwards."
"Good. Lead the way."
As we entered the training room he stopped by the control panel and had the room add a few mats in the middle. We sat facing each other. Him in Indian style and well me I laid down. I noticed now up close that his eyes were a deep blue green like the color of the ocean shifting. I shook my head and not to make it look weird I closed my eyes like I was just waiting on him to finish.
"Now it is going to take some time to be able to talk without looking and having to be in the same room. I would like to know how far you want this to reach?"
"How far can it go?"
"That I am not sure of. Caylee and I can be in different cities and still talk. However I knew of a couple that could be on different sides of a planet and talk."
"Can we be on different planets?"
"I dont know but we can try. It will take a lot of trust and knowing each other."
"Very well I'm ready to try. What do we talk about?"
"Since we are going to have to get used to each others voice and actions we will start with basic life. You go ahead and start to get more comfortable with this."
"Well my full name is De'rax al Cer'sa. I am a agrithian from the planet Agris. I have three brothers, Ca'rex, Ju'cax, and Pli'x all younger with one sister named Mag'ix, the youngest. My parents are alive my ectar or father is Sri'ax and my ecta or mother is Do'ex. My brothers and I were raised warriors. This is the house I earned after my many trials to become a general. Now it is your turn to tell me about you. "
"My full name is Kyra Gredage. I'm from earth. I was taken by those bug looking aliens."
"The crixecs. Yes they do look insect like."
"I have no siblings and my parents are dead I was raised by my aunt and uncle."
"My planet or this one that we are on has many cities this being the capital. It is called Ori'x. My home is located in the E'ax district which is the generals and leaders houses. We grow most of our own food raise the rest. We do trade for other foods or items we wish for. What is your earth like?"
"It is a lot like this one. The colors are different from what I am used to but it has the same concept. We have lots of cities ranging in size. We also have many different countries over the whole world. Each with a different people. My home was in one of the bigger countries but near one of the smaller cities in the woods."
The conversation continued with similarities and differences between each country and people on earth. To similarities and differences between earth and Agris.
I don't know how long we were talking but I started falling asleep.
"Here." He goes to the computer and moves the mats to the side. "Get some sleep I am going to practice."
"Shouldnt I practice with you?"
"Not this time. You need sleep and food. We will try tomorrow."
I nodded and walked over to the mats. Laying down I watched him remove his tunic and start sparing with holograms. I watched the muscles in his back and arms flex as he moved. He was like a dancer moving quickly and smoothly through the motions. I slowly slipped into sleep listening to the sounds of his breathing and thud as he hit the targets.
