Thread: Interstellar Courtship (Darkstar89 x Deviant)

Ericks was somewhat soothed by the girls own nervousness, the fact that she was sort of confused about how all this was supposed to work...made it easier that he didn't either. He was sure she had met others of his race, and she had likely also heard many of the harsher stories circling the crowds...and there were more then a few of them. But, he had heard stories as well, stories of women so lascivious, so lewd that some of his kind were actually startled by them. That was of course a feat, considering sexuality between Phobians had become almost casual. In their need to breed, sex was practically a constant between everyone from a mans wife, to his neighbor, to the girl the next street over. Strangers were no longer strange...because it was likely you had mated them before, and if you hadn't? Well it was about time to try! But Sophie, she was like a reflection of him and it was nice. Of course, their nerves were about the only thing they shared. Ericks, who considered himself a bit of a gentleman as the humans put it, was a bit flustered. Perhaps it was the outfit she wore, more likely it was how she filled the outfit, but he couldn't help looking her over. He had to admit, the sight of her...had made it easier to contemplate bedding her. He suddenly found himself ripped from his less then pure thoughts as she offered him the paper, Oh... he smiled and took the page, he didn't bother looking at it, and instead simply crumpled it up and tossed it into the trash, I trust you. He said lightly, attempting to sooth her nerves a bit as well. The young Phobian smiled and nodded, A bite would be nice... He was abruptly made aware of her warning as a low, but long moan came from the room next to them, Well... He began again, chuckling nervously, Maybe we should leave...we could bring some with us for the ride though. He offered, deciding that the constant reminder of their task would be better if left at the Jump facility. It might give us something to do for the trip...our destination is not exactly close. Most things were separated by considerable gaps on Phobos, after all, it was nearly four times the size of Earth. More importantly, the Phobians lived on 'islands', small clusters of roughly eight thousand people, living in elaborate self sustaining cities that ensured their world's plant and animal life were minimally effected. It was so effective, that there were supposedly parts of Phobos that hadn't been touched by their influence in nearly two thousand years. Like earth the center ring of the planet was tropical, and this particular Jump Facility was nestled right on the edge of one of the larger rain forests. Outside the girl would find a view that would be both familiar and alien at once. The lush greens of the rain forest would be similar...although many of the plants were arranged different then those found on her home world. The most notable difference for her would likely be found in the sky...for Phobos orbited a dual star, one blue and one red. This, and the larger distance from their stars meant that the days on Phobos lasted nearly sixty five hours. She had arrived at mid day...meaning she had a little more then thirty hours of daylight left.
