sho woke up and punched the alarm clock. "what the?" shianna had snuck into his room and coiled herself around him. she nuzzled her cheek to his happily. "shianna, what the hell?!?" the girl slowly opened her eyes to sho watching her with burning rage. "I was cold, so I thought you could warm me up darling." sho got out of her grasp which surprised shianna "darling, your so strong!" she exclaimed. sho sighed in annoyance. "i'll draw you a warm bath, just wait a while." as sho finished the bath he contemplated the week he had. after his house was renovated he started cooking for shia (that was the nickname he gave her.) and researched linamals (another word for extra species.). shia had had started to grow of fond him... too fond actually. she started acting alot like rise did wth yu and although he was socially dense because of how he grew up, he was pretty sure he knew what that meant! unfortunely, sho wasn't looking for a romantic relationship. his thoughts were interrupted by shia coming in. "darling, can you bathe with me?" "no." he said sternly. "come on." "no" "cooome on." "no" he then walked out the door. "your no fun!" she pouted. "seriously doesn't she realize it's against the law, and hello smith." the agent spat out her coffee. "how did you know I was here?" she asked. "years of survival training. now why are you here?" she took another sip before answering. "i'm supposed to check up on new hosts to make sure they follow the rules." sho then started cooking breakfast. "well, shia's in the bath right. we haven't broken any rules, although she doesn't seem realize that dating is against them." he flipped a pancake. "you do realize that was changed right?" sho shivered but somehow still caught the pancake. "don't tell her that!" smith tilted her head. "she already knows." sho then palmed his forehead. "why are you unhappy? is it because she isn't human?" sho turned around and gave smith a look that would make even the biggest monsters shiver. "no, I just don't want a romantic relationship right now. her not being human has nothing to do with it! There are people who sicken me to the very core and they are very much human." smith can tell sho had a troubled past. the scars and standoffish behavior were very big clues to that. "well, just know that linamals tend to be very affectionate to those that strike there fancy." sho nodded. "i've noticed."
