Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tetroneaque left his lab with someone new, a strange humanoid feline that called herself Kit. The fuzzy scientists had accidentally created a portal to her world when he was trying to find a way to return to his own world. Yet it seemed that Kit was more than happy to stay in this new galaxy and so Tetro was determined to make her feel welcome by showing her around a bit. The two beings were holding hands as they strolled down the hallway.

"This area is mostly for storage, I converted one of the larger rooms into my lab since it wasn't being used." He explained as the two exited his lab.

"We'll head to the kitchen area first. Is there anything in particular you like? I'm not really sure what kind of food you might enjoy as I've never had the privilege of meeting one of your kind till today." Tetroneaque said in a jovial manner. It really was nice having someone around the same height as himself to talk with. Tilting one's head up to speak with pretty much everyone else had been a bit annoying to be completely honest.

"Meat? Oh yes, we have several types. If you want I can cook up something in the kitchens if you'd like something other than just plain meat. Oh, I think there might be one or two cupcakes leftover as well. Those are something that I came up with, though my friend Janlu came up with the name." Tetroneaque said happily as he continued to lead Kit toward the kitchens.

Now they were passing by the hangar where all the ships were stowed. One could see inside through the transparent parts of the large doors. "That's the hangar where we keep the starships... well where everyone keeps their own starships. I don't have my own yet as I've sort of devoted most of my time to my lab as of late. Maybe I should start building my own ride instead of just helping everyone upkeep their own." Tetroneaque stated, adding his own musings as he continued the tour.

Tetroneaque's head tilted to one side as Kit called him 'Foxy'. The term was unfamiliar with him, not knowing that his own race resembled something else in another galaxy. "Why did you call me 'Foxy'?" He asked as they continued to walk. There was no anger or irritation in his voice, merely curiosity. "As for what I recommend... well it all depends on what we have in stock in the kitchens. Like I said earlier I've been a bit cooped up in my lab as of late." He added with a chuckle, greatly understating how much time he'd been spending in that one room working.

He nodded at Kit's comments about his own starship, thinking that it would help with him being able to go and acquire his own supplies and resources should the need arise. It would be nice to come and go as he pleased, yet he'd need quite a few resources and to build even more machines to even start construction on his own ship from scratch.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Tetroneaque said with a little nod of his head, taking the explanation at face value. He sometimes forgot that it apparently wasn't normal for a single race to occupy a planet except in his own galaxy where his species were the only sentient life forms. It was strange to think that there might be a race similar to his own on Kit's world, but that train of thought quickly derailed. He felt himself blushing a little again as Kit nuzzled against his shoulder.

"The kitchens are just past the living quarters, which we are now passing." The Kit'aru stated, gesturing with his free hand toward the doors on either side of the hall. These doors were very solid and a few were locked. "That's my room, when I manage to make it here instead of just sleeping in the lab anyway." He said with a slightly nervous chuckle.

Oh man, she must think I'm a total geek now... Wait? Why do I care what she thinks? Those thoughts were a bit distracting, but he pushed them aside so he could concentrate on the matters at hand. They were nearing the kitchens now, the occasional cleaning droid scurrying along the edges of the walkway. He led the way through some doors and into the kitchens themselves.

"And here are the kitchens." Tetroneaque declared with a grin. "Now let's see about getting you something to eat and drink. I know I could use a bit of refreshment too." The Kit'aru went over to the cold storage and rummaged around a bit, pouring a couple cups of some sort of purple juice. He forgot what fruit it came from, but he remembered liking it and hoped Kit would enjoy it too. Also it appeared that there were two cupcakes left over from his last batch. The blue cake and the weird colored frosting might have kept them from being eaten by some of the others in the Temple who weren't aware of just how tasty these little confections were.

He brought over the drinks, and levitated the cupcakes alongside himself before sitting down at a table with Kit. "We've got some meat too if you want me to cook something up." He added as he sat down, placing a glass in front of Kit and letting a cupcake settle in front of himself and Kit. He sipped his own beverage and looked at Kit to see what reactions she might have toward the food and his levitating objects with the Force.

Tetroneaque nearly choked on his beverage, coughing for a moment as Kit declared he was magic. It took a couple moments for him to get over that so he could correct her. "Well it was me making the objects float... but it was the Force and not magic. I can do other things with the Force to like create barriers to protect myself or talk to someone with my mind." He paused for a moment as he listened to what he was saying then. The things he was mentioning did make it sound like he was magic if someone wasn't familiar with the Force.

"Well, the Force isn't magic exactly... it's... oh it's hard to explain actually. I'm still training to use it better, as do most of the people in this Temple. I tend to do more work on the technology, like fixing the and building the machinery around here. Don't worry, you'll learn more about all this since you'll be staying here." He took a bite from his cupcake then, a little smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

Tetroneaque decided to give up on trying to explain the Force to Kit, deciding to just let her think what she wanted on that for the time being. He didn't want to lie to her but he knew he was doing a really poor job of explaining it to her. Instead he changed the subject. "So you liked the cupcake then? I'll be sure to cook up some more when I get a chance." He finished his own cupcake then, licking a bit of frosting off his fingers before taking another sip from his drink.

"Still hungry? I think we've got some meat and cheese for sandwiches." He wanted Kit to feel at home and was more than happy to spend the time to do so.

"Alright then!" Tetroneaque said cheerfully and went over to the cold storage and removed some items before closing it again. The Kit'aru went about making a stack of sandwiches, using the Force just a little to slice the bread. It didn't take long at all as Tetro was sort of a culinary whiz whenever he got the chance, and sandwiches were pretty simple to being with.

Soon he had a tray full of sandwiches and brought it over to the table, sitting down next to Kit and taking a half a sandwich for himself and started eating. After swallowing the first bite he motioned toward the tray and said, "Help yourself!" He took another chomp from the sandwich in his hand, more than happy to help Kit adjust to her new surroundings.

"Milk? Yes I think we have some. I forget what it comes from but it's blue and tasty. I used some when making the cupcakes." Tetroneaque commented as he went back to the cold storage and got out a bottle of blue milk for Kit. He came back and set it down in front of Kit, marveling at how much she seemed to be eating.

"You act like you're starving. Didn't you get enough food back where you came from?" He asked with concern as he nibbled his own sandwich, letting Kit have free reign over the tray and it's contents.
