... Huh, that’s ...

I wish the notes had better physical descriptions. This thing has feathers.

Unsurprisingly, given the total lack of anything in the room, the alien’s attention is fixated on me immediately. Talking with Orro got me to stop thinking about it so much but I’m once again reminded that something as tall as a building is staring right at me.

... I take a deep breath. That looks like a friendly expression ... I hope ...

“Hi!” It ... waves at me. Huh.

“Um, hello.”

“Are you in charge here? That uniform looks like you might be someone important. I’ve been waiting for someone to talk to. I have a lot of questions!”

If I’m parsing its tone of voice and expressions correctly, it’s definitely trying to signal friendliness. It’s also uncannily comfortable with its current situation.

“Oh, pardon me. I should introduce myself. My name is Yaku! What’s your name?”

“My name’s, um, Kuvusha.” I have a feeling I’m going to be on the back foot for this entire conversation.

“Kuvusha! That’s a very pretty name. Do you mind if I get a little closer? It’ll be easier for us to talk if you’re not so far away.”
