[i]Do you know if there is food? And drinks? I'm still starving.'[/i]

Viran nodded and smiled although his face was still beet red.

"Of course. Over here." He said as he led her over towards a table that was laden down with strange alien foods and brightly colored drinks. He picked up a large blue fruit and sniffed it carefully before taking a tentative bite. As he bit in, his eyes widened for a brief moment and a large smile appeared on his face. He finished chewing and swallowed the piece of fruit. He grabbed another one from the table and offered it to Mina. "Give this a try."

"I have never tasted anything like this before." He said with a smile as he took another of the one he had already bitten. "But whatever this is, it tastes amazing. Almost like a cross between several different earth foods." 

One of the other Valkorians approached Viran and pointed towards the forest.

"Excuse me for interrupting you Viran, but you are needed at the landing site. It appears someone from the new ships knows of you. She wishes to speak with you at once."

Viran raised an eyebrow. "Of course. But I think they may have me confused with someone else. The people of this colony and Hisel are the only other Valkorians that I have met so far. Is it possible that she may be mistaken?"

The Valkorian smiled slyly. "I don't think so." He said as he looked over at Mina. "She is welcome to join you in meeting the new arrivals as well. But I would move quickly if I were you. This new arrival is very anxious to meet you."

Viran looked over at Mina and shook his head in confusion as the Valkorian walked back towards the landing site.

"Ever get the feeing that people know more than they are telling you?" He asked.
