Falling into the water he had struggled. Not drowning but unsteady on his feet, the soft almost sand like swirl beneath them had hims drag his feet to move them. Stuck. Luckily not a opening up to swallow him down in a whirl pool of ? His thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind him, hands around him pulling him up.
The strength, of whoever it was lifting him was taking his breath away. Like a lightweight picked up to be deposited on the hard surface of the bank. A female and not a stranger. Haan had found this place by accident.
Watched HER, well he called her HER.. swimming. on this occasion, he had sneakily ventured too close to the edge, where the bank, gave way to land him in the water; cursing. HER, had watched on, somewhat amused.
This being was so clumsy, it, was hard to not laugh and she could laugh. For Haan that made the embarrassment even worse. Finally regaining his composure she had sat by the side of him and they were now looking at each other.
Blue, she was BLUE skinned. Cooler than his and the oils on it were glistening in the limited light mixed with the water sliding down across her beautiful body. Beautiful. He had to be honest with himself. If he had ventured to speak he had stuttered. It sounded nonsensical.
“Ha aa haa han..” Did she understand, for a moment it seemed maybe not.. “aa haa han?” It took, a moment or two to register. “NOOO.” He shifted uneasy but now responding.. “Haan, my name is Haan,”
She smiled. maybe realizing the mistake? “Well Haan, you, are a foolish one. The waters here, are dangerous, with some undercurrents, that can drag you under. YOUR size and weight would be nothing to it bar making that easier.. “
She leaned forwards to grip his arm. “No wonder you are so how do you say it, weak? Your arms are so thin.. Do you not eat!” He paused trying to reason as to how she could speak his language let alone ?
More grinning. “I am how you say, an AI sentient life form. Inside here.. she raised her hand to her head... is a silica based implant. I can speak, can understand far too many languages, for you to comprehend.
My masters, landed on this world, a long long time ago and left me here. One of a kind. Seldom, having had the chance, to meet others, until YOU, ventured into this hidden valley? So, what are you, what race of beings are you from?
“Scaran. Visiting here, to unload goods for the local inhabitants. I’m an intergalactic trader. This world has a lot of problems. “ He leaned in close. “There is a war going on.” “A war?” He nodded.
“Many who come here are killers, they would if they caught you kill you without thinking, he was about to add eat you, but on reflection decided otherwise. “How come your skin is blue?” “How come YOUR skin is so pale?”
“Ok, rude of me to venture that.” He went to move his hand away. “Why are you so cold.” He stopped. “Yes I know, you are going to say..why are you so warm..” He grinned. “Actually I can change my body temperature.”
She grabbed hold of his hand onto her breast.. it got warmer and warmer.. what the, might have sprung to mind, but, the sensation of his hand, where it was now resting and, the tingle across his senses.. ?
He pulled it back at some speed. The look on her face as he did so was one of amusement. My former masters would not be so embarassed, that is the word is it not Haan?” His face flushed some redness.
“YOU, you are..” she started to laugh. “Are you what they call a Vi?” What the was that! “YOU are.” Her hand had shifted to his nether regions. “It seems Haan is showing his true feelings. “ The grip was a tighter squeeze. He squirmed.
“Lacking, in some physical, albeit primitive interaction between the species, but definitely not in size Haan. IT has been a long time for me, I would like to ..” Her words tailed off as she leaned in to wrap her lips on his. before a long drawn out reciprocated kiss.
“YOU have been spying on me, and I know when you have been here, the number of times you have.” She squeezed. “Taken this in hand, or should I say, given its size. in hands.. Are you, leaving me here, at the mercy of those who wage war or are.”
She leaned in closer. “Going to take me Haan, as YOURS? IF so, that, will come, with many benefits, to my new owner my new master..” He shifted to correct some of his discomfort. “ONLY if we are as equals. I will not be master and YOU, will NOT be my slave. I hate slavers.”
A smile and her eyes, he swore they flashed. iLoii likes that very much Haan. Now I. must dress, before we leave here.” A little while later they, were headed towards his craft. She stopped looked up. “We need to leave here NOW. There is a strange craft headed this way not one I have seen here before. “
Haan, landed his craft at a cave entrance, where he had been told by iLoii, to now do so. Until, the strange craft overhead had vanished. t, they would need to hide out here. Secluded and inside, he found the place where ILoii had been living.
Furnished and comfortable. They were soon both naked, both close to each other and iLoii wasted no time in showing him what was on offer to the fullest he could ever have imagined AND so much more.
Outside, above them and, a short distance away, the sound of a bombardment in progress. Rockets, death and destruction but the warmongers were not getting it all their own way. NOR it seemed was iLoii.
To be continued.
