Kay looked suspiciously at X as the alien followed him out of the room, stopping for a moment to pull on his human mask as he did so. Something about this entire situation felt off to him, but if Elle had done something to X, why was he covering for her and if he had provoked her, why was she going along with it? He was going to have to call Zed, see how he wanted the situation handled. Kay just didn't feel comfortable going off and leaving these two here alone when he didn't know what had happened between them.
"Umm, Agent Kay?" X said, breaking Kay's train of thought. The alien really didn't feel comfortable asking a human this question but he figured out of the hideous species, Kay was the safest one to talk to. At least he didn't seem like the type who would spread things all over headquarters. "I was wondering, not that I'm considering it or anything," Wouldn't want anyone to think he was getting soft on humans, "but say I wanted to be nice to Agent Elle. How should I go about it?"
Kay raised an eyebrow at that question. He had expected X to ask something about how soon the marriage could be annuled instead of how to go about being nice to Elle. He was definately going to have to have a talk with Zed about this situation.
"Agent Kay?" X said, wondering why it was taking him so long to answer. Maybe he couldn't think of any ways to be nice to such an impossible human either.
"Well, if you want to be nice to Elle, you should probably start by stopping the insults of her species," Kay said, still trying to figure out what the alien was up to.
"You mean I shouldn't point out the inherient hideousness of humans anymore?" X asked.
"That's something you should definately avoid if you're trying to be nice," Kay told him.
"Lie about humans. I suppose I could manage that. What else?"
"Well, women like to get things, compliments, gifts, things like that. Things that make them feel special."
"Gifts?"
"Flowers, candy, sometimes jewelry," Kay explained. He didn't know what X was up to but maybe a few suggestions would keep Elle from suffering too much. "And the compliments are very important. Women like to feel appreciated and special. Tell her how nice she looks."
"Even if she looks like a typical hideous human with those beady little eyes and tiny ears?" X asked. It seemed a whole lot of lying was required with the human species.
"Especially if you think that," Kay muttered as he started to walk away. He had to get back to the LTD and have a nice long talk with Zed. "Just remember to be nice and you'll do fine!"
