Black Eyed Irken

"Gavno, Gavno wake up," sounded Reni's voice invading his sleep. Gavno slowly opened his eyes and saw Reni looking at him through the crawl hole that lead into his sleeping pod.

"Are we at Irk already?" Gavno asked sleepily.

Reni shook her head. "No, I thought that you may be hungry, so I took a detour to Foodcourtia,"

Gavno sat up slowly looked out the small window that was on the wall of the pod. Outside he saw ships speeding by and different aliens walking around. Gavno heard the sound of hustling and bustling, though it seemed distant because the pod's walls were slightly sound proof.

"So, you hungry?"

Gavno smiled. "Yeah," he climbed out of the sleeping pod, after Reni had moved out of the way, and put on his boots. He met Reni, who had moved to the cockpit ant they both climbed out of the ship. Loath Carrier, Reni's ship, locked up automatically after they had left.

They two of them walked down the walkway. Reni held the back of Gavno's shirt so there was no risk of losing him. They were both thrown strange looks by different aliens. For Gavno, these looks were because of his eyes. Irkens were known well enough to know that yellow was not a normal eye color. Reni's reason, on the other hand, was her height. It was definitely not normal for the next in line tallest to be wondering around like she was doing.

They ignored these looks. They were too common for the duo to worry about. Gavno had been stared at his whole life and Reni began receiving the attention when it looked like she was the same height as the Tallest. In reality, she was 2-3 inches shorter.

Reni stopped walking and looked at Gavno. "So, where do you want to eat?"

Gavno looked around, there was so many choices it was hard to choose. Then, he pointed. "There! I would like to eat there,"

Reni looked in the direction, here eyes falling on a large, purple building that had a sign that read Slarb Hut. Reni raised a would-be eyes brow, she would have proffered something else, but it was Gavno's choice. So, with a shrug, she nodded. "Ok,"

They walked into the building and stood in line. Gavno sighed and looked at Reni. "Hey, can't you just use your rank to get us to the front?" he asked.

"I could, I guess," she responded. "But I'd rather not draw attention to myself nor upset anyone right now," she gave Gavno a half grin, in response he turned from the gesture.

Soon, they were at the front of the line, the seemingly irken cashier looked at them. "Hello, welcome to Slarb Hut. How may I take your order?" his voice was that of displeasure. He looked as though he wanted to be anywhere but where he was. He wore the restaurant's traditional blue and yellow outfit, but was also wearing a purple cape, something that didn't seem to be to the dress code.

Suddenly, something came flying through the air, hitting the irken in the head. "Hey, you poor excuse for an irken, tell the customer your name!" commanded a voice.

Looking quite insulted, he glared at his boss. "I'm not an irken!" he yelled back at his manager, who was ignoring him. He looked back at Reni. "Hello, my name is DAK. How may I help you? He said through clenched teeth.

Reni looked at him without saying anything. She was both staring at his eyes, which were pure black, and a bit confused by what he had just said to his boss. It wasn't until Gavno, who was a little too short to see, and who hadn't paid attention to the yelling, pulled on her shirt. "Um, Reni, aren't you going to order?"

She snapped out of her trance and nodded. "Sorry," she looked at the menu. "Ok, I'll have the Slarb-ka-bob, a basket of frolos and a large Craysllue," she looked down at Gavno. "What do you want?"

"I'll have the Goo-Slarb special," he said from below the counter.

Dak sighed. "That's 43 monies," he exclaimed. Reni handed him the payment. "It will be out at your table momentarily," he sighed again and signaled to the next costumer.

Reni stepped out of line, she was followed closely by Gavno.

As Gavno found a table, Reni went over to an employee who was mopping the floor, wanting to ask him a question.

"Hey, that… um… seemingly irken being there," she pointed to Dak. "Why is it that he says he's not irken. I mean, besides his eyes, he seems irken to me,"

There was a pause, in which the employee waved for Reni to get a little closer so he could whisper. "Well, the fact is that he isn't… well…100 irken," this was a little of a surprise to Reni. "I've heard him say that he is only half irken and that he doesn't know what to other half is. That is why his eyes are black," the employee caught sight of his manager, which caused him to hurry back to work.

Reni walked away, thinking about this. A half irken? She thought. But how can that happen with the system we have?

"Reni!" she suddenly hear, she looked up to see Gavno waving at her. "What are you doing standing in the middle of the restaurant?" Reni noticed this and walked over to the table that Gavno had found, where they waited for their food.

Well, here it is... I will try to up date sooner next time, but I can't make any promises. Review please.
