Welcome to Gaia! ::

Xander shook his head, but he realized it was at least good he could help figure this out. "People move to Destiny all the time, your friend could simply be from another country. Its the easiest explanation I can think of and honestly, with how much my family travels it not exactly far fetched. You could say you met him one time when we went to Europe. We generally go once a year, its not like you havent had an open invitation to join forever. You could have met in Europe at some point and became friends that way ... you'd have to figure out the suddenly eloping part and you need a marriage certificate." He shrugged, but his face took on an expression of alarm.

"No," he said frowning deeply his face serious about, "do not tell your mother. Ian you will put her in more danger that she might otherwise be ... not to mention all this seems to run in families. Myself and both my siblings ..." he sighed and shook his head. "Don't tell your mother."

"If you want to teach him things, youtube, and the library, the public one or the one in the house. Though I'm not sure how much help my own library would be, but as always youre welcome to it. As far as social interactions, your going to have to get out more, though being around the family might be sufficient about, if his um ... antennae?? Can be hidden ... I'm sure both of my partners would question them."

He looked to Sasha, "Im not sure exactly how long a rotation is on Erinome, but you look to be younger than I am, for sure. I'm 38, though I'll be 39 soon, next month in fact." He was surprised he hadn't started to gray yet, but he figured it would happen in the very near future. It was probably magic, but he hadn't heard of magic effecting time outside of Pluto.

Xander arched a brow at the question and shook his head in the negative, "generally no ... most fruits are simple carbohydrates, so they don't last long, their quick energy to speak ... not to mention, that's a lot of sugar natural or not. Its not enough protein, not that you cant get protein from fruit, but oranges arent a high protein fruit."

He looked to Sasha, "what was your diet like back home? Do you like not like vegetables, meats or breads?" He figured honestly Sasha would know best if fruit was enough, but the doctor in him certainly want to make sure they were getting enough nutrients. Especially looking generally human, he imagined they'd have a similar diet.

Blinking, he realized something and fiddled around in his pocket until he found the device Julienne had made him. "Oh... this?" And like that his antennae were gone and his freckles turned from green to a light brown while losing some of their mothiness. "Sorry... forgot.." He hadn't really planned on being outside in the sunlight and at night he was powered up and wandering so it didn't matter as much.

Tilting his head as he looked over Xander he nodded "Maybe... a few rotations older? Looks like." It was hard to tell with humans, and Ian didn't look too old but he knew he was small, all Erinomans were and he was fine with that. Though it seemed, more than once now, that that fact might cause some issues.

"Europe?" He asked questioningly as he finished his orange, the word reminded him of another planet. "Like Europa? Far far away..." Though he couldn't exactly be sure how far away it was, just as he wasn't sure exactly how far away he was from home here on this planet.

Thinking about the question Xander asked, he tried to think. "Greens, fruits, no creatures." Bread was odd to him and his face scrunched more in confusion. "Bread? Hrmm panium?" Were they the same thing that some of the visitors brought? That odd brown food that smelled good and was warm sometimes. It tasted good but always made him really tired after. More and more words that didn't make sense to him came out from both Ian and Xander and it made it hard to focus as he tried thinking back if any of the words he knew matched up. He'd figured Orichalcum was metal now, thanks to Ian, and he was sure that he probably knew what they were talking about but it always took time to figure it out.

"Meat... makes me ill." Thinking to bring that up because it always made his stomach cramp and turn in knots alongside anything else that was that dense and heavy. "Honey... was rare, a gift." It was something he'd been given as a gift when visited by Amel or by a few of the people that he'd helped make medicines for to ease the sick back to better health. Now that Ian kept giving it to him, he felt a lot less tired than he had when he first got here.

"What's... marriage?" It sounded important and like the biggest issue right now, that and something about papers and hiding things. Was it troublesome that he'd been staying with Ian? He started to worry a bit and feel bad that he'd not thought about things, he'd just been so excited to feel someone familiar on this planet after wandering and getting so horribly lost in this place.
