X looked around the beach curiously, wondering where his partner had disappeared to. He could have sworn that he had heard her shriek just a moment before the Metan popped out. He chuckled as he tapped the new ice sculpture on it's head. A easy capture.
He frowned as he noticed the disturbed sand right about where Elle had been standing when he last saw her. He knelt and started to curiously push the sand away, grimacing at the odd feel of the rough grains on his human disguise. Just like a human to get in trouble with such a small thing and need the alien to come to the rescue. He didn't know how they had survived as long as they had.
A few minutes later, he had cleared a sizable amount of the sand away without finding any sign of his partner. He pulled himself to his feet again and was about to look somewhere else when he suddenly noticed something He knelt down by the hole and brushed a bit of the sand away to reveal a dead white hand with dark blue nails.
"Blue nails?" he muttered as he continued to dig. "And Zed complains when I don't wear this ugly human disguise! I can't wait to see what he has to say to you about your choice of nail polish." He continued to shovel the sand away and within a few seconds he had her free. Her eyes were closed and he frowned at the sight of her blue lips. Humans were terribly ugly and he tried to avoid looking at them as much as possible but he was sure that he would have noticed if she had been wearing blue lipstick.
