Oh dear.... oh dear. She didn't want to be out here where there could be further awkward moments. Her home, even with her son's loud sounds of sex, was sounding better and better. Oh dear, that damned Pueblo who ran her over could come in any time now... there had to be an easy way to escape without being completely rude.
"Oh... well... I teleport most everywhere... so... I kind of ended up here by accident. I live in Barton Forest, which is I guess on the mainland? I think there's a ferry here or something of the like... I mean, people without my abilities obviously got here." Rambling again. Damnit. If he was more of an evil b*****d and did something to piss her off she could gain her composure more easily.

Orian smiled, and kissed the back of one of her hands "Please, tell me more. What's the area like? Mainly urban? Or is there still plenty of wilderness out there?" He gave a small, shy smile. "I'm sorry if i'm seeming pushy or overwealming, but i'm just trying to learn more about the area i seem to be stuck in for now."

@__@ Now he was kissing her hand. Needless to say, she didn't regularly get the royal treatment she was getting now... not that she really trusted this man any more than any other man (as they are all independently evil). Damn him for being so nice >_<
"Oh... well... it's got spots of urbanization... built up towns and such... and one skyscraper... but this island is fairly rural. I like the forest because it is rural." Maybe... she should figure out more about this stranger before she divulged everything just because he was smooth.
"Where are you from, again?"

"Erm. I'm not really sure how to explain where i'm from, cause i'm not really sure where I am. I'm pretty sure that i'm from far, far away, if i'm even from this world." He shrugs a little, and smiles again. "Ah well. I'm an explorer, so i guess this suits me just fine, being dropped into an unknown land, to figure out where i am and such. You said that there are some built up town? Hmmmm. I wonder if i can find a one off job to get some cash for clothes." He blushes a little, looking down at his present attire.

She shifted a little in her seat uncomfortably. Here she was holding Aly's clothes, which were made for a man obviously, and he was wearing a woman's clothes. It wasn't her place to offer them to him, was it? And she really couldn't offer him a job where she worked... which made her effectively useless to him.
"I wish I could give you a job... but... I really do live far away. I wish Aly was here to help you... I bet he could answer all your questions better than me." Lies. She wished Aly was here and she wasn't, but that would be a rude thing to state.

Chuckling, and shrugging a little, he reached out to pat her hand again "Na, its okay. I'll figure something out. I did meet Alyosha last night, but well, i kinda conked. I guess being shipwreaked takes more out of you then i thought." He gives another little chuckles. "So, you know a little about me, what about yourself? I don't think i've ever seen anyone with pure white hair, though i have to admit, it looks very nice on you." Orian winced a little inwardly. He was trying to make her comfortable, and pointing out something like that prolly wouldn't do it. Stupid, Stupid Orian!

She wasn't really as flustered over him asking about her hair as she was over his continued physical proximity. Maybe if Alyosha had set him up in the guest room it would be all right for her to give him Aly's clothes... and then Orian could choose whether to wear them or to just return them. Yes yes, that left everything out of her hands.
"Oh... oh, if you see him could you give him his clothes for me?" She held out the purple shirt and black slacks apologetically. "My hair...? Oh, I get it from my mother.... >> She was a bakeneko, a cat spirit/demon. I guess... there aren't any where you come from....?" Oh dear. Maybe he'd be frightened of her now.

"Demon?" Orian carefully sounded out the word. "Whats a Demon?" Orian had a slightly confused look on his face. "Is that the name of a race of humanoids? Or something different?" He smiled a little, and shrugged. "you'll prolly see him before me. I don't know if i'm even going to be allowed to stay on the island or not. I mean, it is supposed to be a kinda reserve for the Aerandir. So I may have to leave the island for the mainland." Shrugging a little again, he smiles, and kisses her hand again. "Thank you for all the information M'lady. It was a great help."

Gah! Would he just... just stop kissing her hand? This was just too much. >_< She smiled and fought back further blushing my clearing her throat to gain composure. Clearing her throat several times, that is. "I doubt Aly would do that to you. And... I suppose you could say it's another race of humanoid." That was certainly a nicer way to put it.
After taking in a deep breath she stood and walked to Aly's doorstep, which wasn't all that far away, and carefully laid down the clean clothes she had borrowed in front of his door. Hopefully he wouldn't step on them, but since Orian was being so unwilling... "I'll just leave them here for him."

Orian smiled, and set his left arm on the table, digging a few tools out of his pouch, unscrewing a panel near the elbow, and tinkering with something there as Sy set the clothes on the doorstep. Hmmmm. Apparently he had missed a chunk of salt when cleaning earlier. Getting out an itty bitty wire bristle brush, he quickly cleaned of the salt incrustations, then checked the movement of the elbow. It moved again! yay. Gently setting the limb back into his shoulder, he just shuddered a little at the discomfort, looking back up at Sy, and smiling.

She was slightly fidgety, but she knew what awaited her if she went back home, so for the time being she was bearing this embarassing situation and trying to act collected and civilized. Besides... this man apparently had a lot to learn about Gaia. Surely he'd be a bit traumatized seeing what the general population of Gaia was like once he reached the mainland.
"Are you... all right? I would offer to help you, but I can barely manage to operate my TV." ^^;; Wasn't there anything she could do to make him more comfortable? If only she had a stove... >>

"Na, I'm fine. Just trying to get my arm back in working order. It objected to its dip in salt water." He chuckled a little, and stood, pulling out her seat for her again. "I don't suppose you can tell me what sort of people live around here? I mean, is it more people like you? Demons did you say? Or are there other humanoids? Or humans?" He smiles a little, sitting only after she sat down.

Again, a difficult question. Surely there were humans and demons around, but there were many more kinds of people she was sure she couldn't describe so easily. He was probably from a world made entirely of humans where surely things were much more simple.
"There are some kitsune, fox spirits, around... and yes, mostly humans on this island. And of course the Aerandir..." She didn't want to admit aloud they were odd to see because now she had realized how foolish it was of her to think this. She was hardly human, so why scrutinize them?

"Hmmmm. Kitsune? Fox Spirits? Hmmm. Don't think i've ever heard of those. I've meet quite a few humanoid tribes in my travels. Was almost eaten by a tribe of cannibal werewolves once." He chuckles ruefully. "That was an adventrue and a half. I was just lucky i wasn't bitten, or i'd be a howling wolfman myself now." He looks up at Sy, and gives a smile. "As long as there are people like you in this world, i think i'll feel right at home."

She had been completely calm and of normal color before he bestowed on her that flowery flattery of how he'd be content if there were people like her. Starting from the ears and cheeks her blush spread outwards over her face. What could she really say to that? Thank you?
u_u;; "You're t-too nice to me," she half-mumbled and half-whispered with embarassment. Besides, she hadn't really helped the poor man as she didn't know too terribly much about the island or the Aerandir.
"I... should probably leave you so you can speak with Alyosha." Yes yes, make a quick retreat.
