>As far as size categories go, you seem to be somewhere between diminutive and fine.
... What, like, the size descriptions mean this facility is being secretly run by the aliens, or something? I’ve only met Ms. Ontinaz in person since getting here, but all the other names looked ... well, like normal tridenik names, not alien names.
Still not thinking about the idea that Orro is somehow “small,” though.
>Perfect cuddling size
Sometimes I wish I could glare at my own brain.
>Also tell him his fur is a nice colour.
It’s ... I don’t know. Tridenik don’t come in that color. I’m not sure how I feel about it.
... Also it’d be really weird to randomly tell him that he has pretty fur. He’s clearly had enough of a confusing and stressful time without the only person he can talk to sounding like she’s coming on to him. Pass.
>Your file mentioned that you refused food and drink for 13 days?
I am concerned about this, but I feel like bringing it up would leave him in a bad mental state, especially since he pretty clearly didn’t want to talk about how he ended up here. I already feel guilty enough as it is.
Anyway, he asked for better food and water bottles, so I have to assume he’s not lying to me about secretly starving himself or something.
>You should requisition a camping cot and sleeping bag, in case you need to do long duration observation of the aliens.
I have mixed feelings about this idea. It’s going in the “maybe” pile for now.
>There's likely going to be some kind of tentacled monstrosity in one of these
I have no idea what my baseline expectations for aliens should be. Except bigger than me, apparently. Hopefully I can keep my panic response in check a little better next time ...
>check if he has questions for you and then go to the next subject
>See if he has any questions for you and then transition into explaining that there are other aliens you have to meet today.
As much as I want to keep asking him about things, this is probably a good idea.
>Maybe specify that he can't ask about the glass or being let out or going home or seeing his hive or family again or whether he's ever going to be allowed outside or anything else like that. At all.
No, no, preemptively bringing up those topics seems like a bad idea, even if it’s just to ask him to not ask about them. Also my answer to most of those would be “I don’t know” anyway.
“Well, um ... I’m probably going to have a lot more questions for you in the future, but I don’t want to overwhelm you.”
“I-I really don’t mind, Kuvusha ...” Okay, I’m not sure why I thought that tactic would work, um ...
“... also I have other subjects I need to at least introduce myself to today.”
“... oh.” He pauses. “Oh? T-there’s more than just me?”
“I’m in charge of this whole wing, apparently! None of the rest of them seem to be numono, though.”
“D-do you know if I’ll be able to see them?”
“I ... have to figure a lot of things out first, but ... hopefully, if there’s a way it can be done safely?” I think that’s enough of a hedge. Orro’s face is lit up a little. “I can’t promise anything, but ...”
“T-that’s okay, as long as you’re willing to try!”
“Anyway ... do you have any questions for me, before I head out for now? ... Um, besides the one you just asked.”
“Hmm ...” He thinks for a bit. I guess he’s trying to make sure he comes up with something good.
“Also I should probably say that I don’t know that much about this facility yet, since I’m still new ...”
“Well ...” His expression says that I preemptively shot down the first idea he thought of. Oops. “I-I guess you don’t know why they brought me here. O-or why the other ‘treedeneek’ I saw didn’t talk to me.”
“They didn’t give me a very clear explanation of what was going on. ... Sorry.”
“Um, t-then ... have you ever met any other species?”
“Before today I didn’t think aliens existed.”
“Oh.”
“This has kind of been a shock for me too.”
“... yeah ... s-so, um ... h-how are you speaking my language? D-do you have some kind of universal translator, or ... ?”
... Hang on, what?
