Slamming her head face-first into the lower end of the doorpost. She already panicked over how embarrassing it was. She was meant to be an ambassador for her broken people. Not a teenager she learned about.

“Hey! Are you all right?!”

As he first laid hands on her, the panic she felt turned into absolute ecstasy. A fuzzy feeling followed by explosive lightning coursing through her entire body. She knew he could see her. She knew she couldn’t ignore how she felt about him.. It would only be a matter of time before she would crash.
She let her feelings flow freely and already fell in love with him.

"Why don't we calm down for a moment?"

Calm down? Wait.. she wasn’t going to get punished for showing her emotions publicly?
Humans could see how you feel after all.
Or at least this was what the researchers had taught her to be prepared for.
He smiled. That’s used to express joy.. But what did that mean? Did he take joy in her falling? Was he wanting to keep her on a leash, leave her wanting? Did he like her in bumps and bruises..
He looked like such a nice guy… Her fears of her unknown housemate overwhelmed her.

"We're not in any rush or anything and I'm not going to bite."

When the answer hit her, she lost her balance. She leaned in on him, ignored her empty box and ended up against his chest. Holding unto his shirt with one hand and unto her own with the other, tears started to roll down her cheeks and started shaking. The entire experience was a bit much for her. Though her tendrils were hard and sharp.
In a stuttering and shaking voice, she uttered:

“Can we… we… go in…siiiide, please? ”
She held on tighter, not looking at anything else.

Aela wasn't sure how to respond with being called cute. No one ever had described her ever as being cute. The best she got was pretty but that had included some rather unsavory things afterwards talking about the lower part of her. Lucky for that guy he only had a dislocated shoulder. She would of pulverized him if it wasn't for being stopped by others. Shau continued on saying that would all be friends which Aela glanced over at Haru with a slight sidelong glare. She highly doubted it herself but decided it best not to voice her opinion at the time.

'Forget the shovel what about a furnace? Nah to hard to find. Leaving her in a web cocoon somewhere can work to,' Aela thoughts were running rampant on what to do with the childish zombie as Haru stuck her tongue out at her. She reminded herself that it was wrong even if the zombie might deserve a little punishment. Perhaps a little torment couldn't hurt.

"Yes we shall try to get along," Aela stated with a slight smile, making sure her teeth were not showing, she was uncertain how a smile full of fangs would make Shau feel, Haru though she had no doubt would panic or be terrified at such a sight. Maybe something to save for later when they were alone.

"I have no qualms with where ever we go," Aela continued.

'As long as the corpse behaves herself', she added in her thoughts. It seemed that this house stay would be tougher then she expected.

Melissa, surprisingly, wasn't scared or disturbed at all by what had just started going down. Instead, the self-proclaimed royal watched Charles unbutton his shirt a little and crawl across the table towards her with a feeling of intrigue rather than fear. Honestly, this entire scene was more silly than anything, and Melissa couldn't help but let out a giggle as she observed Charles apparently trying to seduce her. "My, my," Melissa said, still giggling slightly. "Do you really find me so attractive, or are you just teasing me? If the former, why don't you prove it?"

Smiling softly, Melissa clapped her hands twice to hopefully get Charles' attention. "All these drinks are fine and all, but I feel that I need...more." Melissa tilted her head and placed a finger on her chin, smirking. "I want you to prepare a full-course meal for me. Don't forget to include all the food groups, either! Only the finest samples of food from each will suffice. Anything less, and, well..." Melissa sighed, crossing her arms in front of her and closing her eyes. "...anything less, and I'm afraid I'll have to leave. You don't want that, do you, Charles, dear?" She opened her eyes and grinned, giggling.

@KawaiiKyouko@Fabricant451

A simple house for what looked like a simple person, Light thought as Yoki dragged her into the house. Well, simple WOULD be the best was to probably describe Sara. Though considering how... strangely... she took Light's joke, simple probably wasn't the right word for it. And then the Yokai, Light needing to think of a good nickname, as Ms. Jackide didn't really work well, seemed to feed on the situation and grow even more emboldened.

While Light was only A bit confused and mildly annoyed at Yoki's behavior, she really didn't appreciate all the rudeness she was spouting at their host. But considering how said host was acting, and how it wasn't really angled at Light, she decided that she'd observe but most likely stay out of things unless they got violent. After all, this host lady seemed to like this sorta thing and Light wasn't one to kink shame. Though it defensively wasn't Light's cup of tea.

Giving Yoki a slight scowl as she did her little... 'seductive' tap to Light's head and basically only paying mild attention to the rest or rolling her eyes when it got excessive, Light wasn't used to being the straight man! "As for me, well... Whatever food is fine. I just eat a lot. All I know is I wanna explore." Light said, lazily looking at the two as she wasn't too thrilled with just how submissive this host was being. She came here for adventure, not to be in some B list anime.

Living in this household looked like it would be very... annoying if this yokai would constantly be acting like this. Or entertaining, only time would tell. But it gave her a good excuse to maybe get everyone out and about. Lots to see, lots to do. Though it would be great if Light was allowed to go out without the host needing to escort her everywhere. Hopefully that form she filled out for the exchange program would go through. Even if it meant she'd probably be seeing lots and lots of combat.

Niyoki

Ah, what a joyful time was to come. The yokai couldn't do anything else but smirk satisfiedly as her new hostess quickly changed into a loyal servant. Yoki was not one to praise her other half often, but the idea of trying to fit back into the human world through this exchange program proved fruitless, and Noyi was the one to sow he seeds. And now that she sat like a queen in a throneroom with the previous queen-turned-slave kneeling and praising her as if she was the imperial savior, with a snarky yet interesting being to watch it unfold. It fed her ego like nothing else could, the joy of seeing this pathetic human grovel below her might in the presence of another complete stranger. She smirked again while placing her eyes onto her pet, before gently tilting her head.

Peering her eyes over at the blue-haired girl with a seductive glance, as if trying to trap her in her webs with just a gaze, she noted her apparent dislike for the situation. Now, any other person would try to accomodate and calm her antics down for her, but Yoki was not that person. In fact, she revered in it, this feeling of power she held over their hostess while showing the masochist's true side to someone far disinterested in it was like a high. Indeed, Yoki could get used to this.

Prying her eyes back to Sara with an appreciative nod at the offered pillow, gently placing it behind her back while kicking her slippers off her feet, a satisfied sigh escaping her lips. Her moment of delight was abruptly broken by the offered menu of drinks, an eyebrow raising with a gentle twitch of discontent, "No sake? Tssk, fuckin' idiot. You should've known I came today and prepared that days ago. Is this how you treat your Goddess?" She muttered in a rather annoyed tone. Sighing, she shook her head briefly before continuing again, "Well, a ditz like yourself is probably too busy whipping yourself to remember anything. Whatever, give me a beer. But in turn, I expect a marvelous lunch for both of us. And this footrub better be magnificent as well. Acually, give me a shoulder rub as well."

With her commands given, she turned her eyes over to Light once again with her coy smirk returning. An explorer was she? Nah, she seemed to be the energetic, spirited type.. kind of like Noyi, really. In fact her patterns seemed to be a good reminiscience of that loser, Yoki thought. "Hmmnh, explore? What's there to explore? The first day in a new place is always dedicated to said place. Settling down. Abuse the owners. Get things rolling."

Shau forced a small smile on her face. It was weird to be honest, to have such tenseness between the monsters but she didn't say anything.
As for where they could be going...She really didn't know. There was a lot of places to go and a lot of places to look at so choosing one was a hard choice for her. Shau was considering going out to the park when an idea hit her. She could always go and visit the others in the program couldn't she?
"Give me a minute you guys. I'll be back!" Shau smiled and hurried over to her room where she had left the files about the exchange group on her desk. Flipping through the papers she let her finger land on a random name. Sara (@Fabricant451). Whoever she was they were going to pay her a little visit. Maybe if the monsters made a new friend they wouldn't be so mean to each other? Plus Shau needed someone to help her out here.

She headed back to the main room where the monsters were, still clutching the file in one of her delicate hands.
"So seeing as there's a lot more people that we could get to know I found this lovely lady who's hosting a monster like I am. You guys might be able to make friends with her monster and such?"
Shau was a bit weirded out by how many people were in this program. It was nice to know that there were so many people who would love to welcome a newcomer to their home!
Dialling the number given on the file she held the phone to her ear.
When the ringing stopped she breathed in deep, shared a confident smile with her comrades and started to talk.

Boring, that was the first thought that came to his mind. He was already bored by this woman before him. Of course he had quite the range of different tests to try out. But so far she fell to boring. Of course, she was playing her own act or was it so. It didn't matter. He wasn't so much trying to seduce as much as see a reaction. He got one, it wasn't a common one but it bored him. He didn't really know why though as he generally kept to emotions but it was probably something that fell into her character so much. His eyes probably went blank as he backed off and stood up. Leaning back into his hand with a light smile.

“Ahh well it happens sometimes. Good to see you are just as kind as one could expect though. That's always a good thing.” He stated with a light sigh as he walked over and around the sofa and couch moving towards the kitchen which pretty much fell into view with the living room. “I can't very well let you go back after the first day. It would generally look bad on me. You'd probably sabotage my chances of getting others in.” He joked at the end, giving a light laugh.

Before even touching a pan he made sure he had his pony tail set up properly. Yawning slightly as he pulled up the pans and pots before taking out the food from the fridge and freezer. It was probably weird in some way of making food for someone who basically was dead. He wondered on the concept of eating. In some realism, the act of eating anything would mean they gain something from it. Let alone the fact that the stomach will release it's acid if not for the mucus in it. It just eats itself over time in normal dead bodies. Did ghosts even have stomachs? He was pretty much just cooking without much thought. That was before he realized he hadn't answer her first question.

“Oh, Melissa. I'd have to say you are indeed an attractive woman. Do others of your kind look like you? Have you met them before? It's interesting in it's own right to hear about such things.” He stated, he wasn't really interested in her reactions at the moment anymore. He'd probably get into another moment soon enough. But as his character tended to effect his play out. He was more easily bored in this form. Made sense, though if it was in combat he'd probably go wild. That wasn't allowed, and plus it wasn't something he was going to bring her to. Though...it did bring up some fun ideas of possible concepts for her. She was by all means dead, there was so many things he could think of...including potential concepts of immortality.

“Do you enjoy your meat raw medium or well done?” He asked without much thought, looking to the food as he moved the boiling corn lightly off the burner before placing it onto a stand made of metal to hold it so it would manage to cool without causing issues to his marble counter top. His kitchen wasn't necessarily large. Though it was well designed, a black marble like counter top, with a stainless steel themed appliances, along with his iron pot and pans on a gas range top. He quickly stepped off of the area before the range top and turned to wash his hands in his sink quickly.

“And did you have a certain exhibit you wanted to see?” He asked for a moment. Leaning to the side a bit. Though he was sure people saw the standing pose as female and unhealthy but he never cared to much about that concept. He pulled his red hair forward while watching her, running his fingers threw it.

Just when Nick had Dolores standing up, she lost her balance and fell again. But this time, she fell towards Nick and he was quick to catch her. Though, he was surprised when Dolores held him and he began panicking when she started shaking and crying. Nick wondered what he had done to upset her. Should he have not helped her up or something? Again, he was not sure what he did and so did not know what to do to remedy this.

Fortunately, Dolores made one small request...

“Can we… we… go in…siiiide, please? ”

"O-Okay! Yes, let's do that!" Nick said in a panic, wanting to cheer the termite girl back up.

Nick brought Dolores to the living room and prepared tea and some sandwiches. He was not a tea man himself but he knew how to brew one for guests. Once the two of them have settled down, Nick then began. "So uh, welcome to my house. Your name is Dolores, right? Again, I'm Nicholas Gallagher or 'Nick' for short. I'm sorry if it's not big, I don't have enough money for fancier stuff. I'm also sorry if I upset you earlier."

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what species are you?"

Both Aela and Haru didn't really mind where they would be going and for Shau it probably was a little hard to decide on her own what the three of them would be doing. Haru was fine with just hanging around the house too. She could explore the streets at night. When it was a lot cooler and more accessible for her to wander around. Shau suddenly got over excited telling them both to wait for a minute in the living room. Shau hurriedly ran to her room leaving the two in the dust, together in one room... All alone. Haru suddenly got a bit of a sweat on her forehead lightly tapping the floor with her foot, a bit of an awkward smile set on her face.



The whole talk long Haru had been kind of awkward, fiddling with her thumba and fingers or playing with her hair. It was a little scary to actually try and get closer to someone you were gonna live with for a longer while. When was the last time she actually saw someone around daily. Probably only her mistress those many years back. But Haru doesn't even remember most of the moments she had with her.

It had gotten kind of quiet between the two after their talk, Haru was just blankly staring at the furniture deep in thought about being close to someone. Her lower jaw lightly started to hang letting a little bit of drool out. She quietly drifted her head back up at the spider her body as she slowly and quietly shoveled her way over towards the spider. Haruka her arms drifted up in the air reaching out for the spider making it appear she now did want to hug one of the spiders legs too.

Softly she walked against Aela her leg wrapping her arms around it and shoving her face towards the side. She quietly stood there for a moment before turning her head towards Aela her leg and taking a hard bite in it. It wasn't as hard as she could bite but it was hard in a lazy way. Drool drooped over her leg as Haru quietly nibbled on the thing. She growled a little while eating.



Meanwhile Shau had returned back into the living room seeming quite excited about something. She was clutching onto some files that had something to do with the exchange program. Haru turned back completely normal again forgetting everything that had just happened and happily jumped towards her Shau.



Haru looked away seeming a bit weirded out by what she had just said and done before that. Haru looked back at Shau looking a little confused.



Short after that Shau began calling the other monster owner she was talking about. Maybe it went a little smoother there then in the house of war... Cut back to house perverted

"Tha... That is none of your concern," Aela stuttered, her face growing slightly red in embarrassment and agitation. What on earth was wrong with this corpse? Briefly Aela looked down just to make certain she was indeed covered with her skirt and that Haru had not asked the question due to seeing something that shouldn't be showing.

"As for my legs, well how do you walk? It just is natural to me, how you keep balance with two is beyond me," Aela stated quickly moving on to the second question while trying to forget the first one. After that awkward moment of questions things were rather quiet while they waited, Aela focusing her attention on anything but the zombie next to her since she felt that it was the only way to keep calm at the moment. She did not notice when Haru had started to edge closer to her with a strange dead gaze in her eyes. She didn't notice the change of personality until it was seemingly too late.

It was a slight pinch of pain in her leg. It felt like something or someone had bit her? Aela looked down and her eyes glowed bright red in fury at what she saw. There was Haru gnawing on her leg like she was some sort of chew toy or piece of food to be eaten. She forsook the bill and was about to pull Haru off her leg and throw her through one of the walls when Shau came back into the room files and phone in hand. It seemed like Haru instantly snapped out of what she was doing on her return and no recollection of what she had just been doing to Aela's leg. For Haru's sake, she was lucky Shau had returned and had asked them to try and get along or else the corpse perhaps would be experiencing death again. Next time though, Aela would have her way when Shau wasn't around. Every normal instinct was telling her to bite the little pest back at the moment to which Aela had to exert every amount of self control she had to not do it in front of Shau.

"Um, do you think it wise to have us meet another host family?" Aela asked distracting her thoughts from the multiple ways she was going to get back at the wretched corpse ",It might be imposing on them after all... And we still have some things to take care of." Aela had mumbled the last part and looked over at Haru with an evil glare.

Light really wasn't too sure of what to make of the scene before her. Of course she never stood around long enough to see how these sort of things turned out anyhow, so she wasn't in too much of a hurry to leave either. Not like Yoki was a threat. Disturbing yes, but not really any sort of worry in the long run for Light herself.

"On the flip side there Yoki, you always return to your home, so you get your 'first day' in among your first week in little spurts. Course your not from the Void, so that just might be me." Light said, replying to Yoki as she walked around, looking for a place to lounge. She wasn't too keen on sitting on the same couch as Yoki, for both their sake. "Course with food on the way, I'll probably stick around a little bit. Though I'm sure you wanna go shopping for human 'toys' later, I can see it." she continued, a bit annoyed at the lack of furniture for her to rest on, deciding to just lean on the wall.

"Ya know... I don't think this lady was expecting two monster ladies. Otherwise there would be more things here, right? Did you hear the story about that one guy who had like... what was it... 10 or more ladies in his house? It was a little apartment like this, but then it became a mansion soon after." Light said, in an attempt to strike up some kind of conversation. "I'm sure you can have your dungeon if that story was true." She continued with a smirk.

@KawaiiKyouko@Fabricant451

Niyoki the "Fuck formatting beautifully like everyone else because I dunno how to :C"
____________________________________________________________________________________

As if peering into the mind of the young houseowner, the yokai simply smirked at her deviously. Yoki rarely got to play around with pets like this, be it due to Noyi's interference, her stepping over the line and scaring the prey away, or whatever person realized it might not be as masochistic as she gave off to be. Although Yoki rarely did this for the sexual joy in pushing someone down to the ground and eat the dirt she stepped on gleefully, and more as a release of her frustrations towards the world as a whole, she didn' exactly deny the sensations either. If she had full control of this body, she'd definitely form some sort of brothel for submissive fools to endulge in painful pleasures. But Noyi wanted none of that.

While her thoughts drifted off lightly, a single nod given with her YokiSmirk™ to Sara as she hurriedly went to prepare the lunch of her lifetime, she peered over to the creature from the void. Indeed, she seemed to be restless and wishful to dart around the world and see new things, things that generally bored the yokai greatly. "True, yet still the desire to settle down and get your home organized is more important to me. Well, you do you, miss Plaything~" She really needed to find a more demeaning and yet affectuous nickname for her. Well, she had time. They'll live with one another for a good while, after all.

The sweet scent of frying bacon caught her attention and, with a normal smile, she peered to the kitchen where her pet worked tirelessly to satisfy her needs for food... and Light's too, of course. What a subservient being she was to move in with. As if the exchange program specifically put them together to form their little sadomasochistic relationship, as if the heaven's above decided that this home, the Kimoto residence, where to become the Coven of Fun and SM. She didn't mind that thought while giving off a gentle smirk while her foot lightly kicked up and down in the couch. Peering onto the void girl again, she smirked fiendish again while noting her slight frustration at a lack of seating, "You're free to sit on my lap, you know~?" She softly teased while patting her thighs, "They are quite comfortable, these pairs of mine. In fact, so are these~" She nodded while slowly guiding her fingers to her chest.

Her teasing was cut off by the sound of the phone, and prying her eyes over to see what was happening, she lazily realized she'd gotten a call. The more she thought about it, the weirder it sounded, because she couldn't imagine Sara to even have friends given the way she seemed to be. And Yoki was a peopleknower, unlike Noyi the Naive, rarely wrong. Sharpening her ears, she tried to listen in until again her attentiions where broken, this time by the blue-haired girl. "Mmh, shopping? Me? I may be perfect in almost every way,
but I have no sense for clothing. As for toys, I'm sure miss Maso here has a few to play around wih already. Unless it's a date with yours truly you so wish, then I might consider it~" Yoki the sadist was trying hard to catch Light in her cobs of adultery, but deep down she did consider the thought of just joining in some shopping and loitering. It was a warm day, and an ice cream later on sounded delicious after all.

Thinking at the next words briefly, the yokai placed a finger at the tip of her lips thoughtfully. She couldn't exactly deny that Sara seemed unprepared, especially given their entry being so abrupt, but in her mind Sara was unaware she'd even host a single monster. Whatever that ditz of an idiot was thinking, she seemed to find the little situation they'd brought up to be quite hilarious, "You might not be wrong. But the events unfolding after has been a blast, wouldn't you agree?" She replied lazily before pondering the next part. No, she'd never heard of that. In fact, she hardly knew anything about this exhange program until Mr. Suitman approached her, and he was not a man of words. The final part of her words excited her though.

"Never heard of that. But I certainly wouldn't mind a dungeon where I could chain up miss Sara Kimoto for days on end, only to enter once in a while to give her a good whipping or eletrocution." That last part was said audibly enough for Sara to hear while she spoke in the phone, and perhaps even the caller, hoping to derail her thoughts slightly while speaking. "Sounds fun, don' it, miss Light?"

"O-Okay! Yes, let's do that!"

Dolores felt comforted. She knew it would be a long time before she could even hope to begin explaining what scientific experiments she’d been through. Not that she really knew what any of it did, but she could describe the feelings and actions in full gory detail.

"So uh, welcome to my house. Your name is Dolores, right? Again, I'm Nicholas Gallagher or 'Nick' for short. I'm sorry if it's not big, I don't have enough money for fancier stuff. I'm also sorry if I upset you earlier."

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what species are you?"

“Yes.. It is. But I would prefer it if you called me Dolly.. I don’t like my full name very much. ”

She bit her lower lip a little bit. How would she know if this strong and comforting man felt the same way about her as she did about him? Maybe she could try and see if he could read in between the lines of what she would ask.

“Hi Nick. I think your house looks comfy. Some things might need a big of cleaning up. But it’s fine, really. I’m just wondering.. do I sleep with you, on the same level or can I get the basement?”

Her curiosity spiked.

“Oh, and I’m a terranean. But my royal guard status makes me look a bit less recognizable.
We’re inherently descendant from termites and other hives do exist. But for some reason there’s been a civil war among the queens. We don’t really have much of a military except for the queens guards, so any and all casualties are civilians. As for the reason of the conflict.. Some people are disputing our ancestry. Trying to relate us to ants, but we’re too lazy. So it doesn’t make much sense to fight over it in the first place.“

She looked and smelled around the room to see if there was anything she recognized. There was not.

@Argetlam350@liferusher



Shau smiles at Aela.
"I'm sure it'll be fine. We can all help each other out. As for any matters of business..." Shau trailed off when she saw the glance Aela gave Haru. She better lay down some house rules before one of them bites the other.
Now that was a weird sentence to say.
"Um...So I decided to put down a few house rules if that's okay with you guys. Number 1. No attacking each other, or biting each other. Number 2. At least try to be nice to each other. 3. Keep an open mind, another may do kind actions that you perceive as mean. I guess that's it regarding how you treat each other. I'm sure we'll get along fine!" Shau managed a happy smile. Looking at the rate of things they probably wouldn't turn out fine. What if they ate each other?! Could they eat each other?! She didn't want to serve up dismembered, groaning corpse and fluffy spider legs for dinner did she? With another cautious look at the both of them she returns her attention back to the phone.

When the girl (@Fabricant451) picks up the phone on the other end Shau gives a start.
"Oh, Hi. My name's Shau Whalener, I'm one of the humans in the monster exchange program. I saw your name in the file so I was wondering if it was okay for my group and yours to meet up sometime today, maybe at the mall or someone's house?"
She looked over to Haru and Aela to see how they were doing and found herself locking into quite the staring match. She didn't say anything. As long as nobody was hurt it was okay.
Well she hoped it was going to be.

Interacting with: Kimiko Takahara[@Natsume Honnaj

She turned back down the hall and proclaimed loudly. "I'll take this one! When can we go and buy all the wonderful things I want to decorate it with?"

Zach chuckled. He was glad that his first guest seemed to be easy going and happy. She seemed like someone he would have little trouble with. He didn't mind her energy. He thought it would be good for him. He had been in a funk for too long. He needed to start living. And Kimi would definitely bring life back into his house. This was a good start he thought as he followed her. He was curious what room she would choose. Not that it mattered to him. He was fine with any room she choose.

"We have one more guest coming. So we can't leave the house until they arrive." Zach explained. He had no idea who the second person was or when they would arrive but he didn't want to leave and miss them. "Why don't you tell me alittle bit about you. Do you have a special diet? What are some of your favorite things to do?" He figured he might as well spend the time getting to know Kimi.

@KatherinWinter

Kimiko pouted lightly hiding her mouth behind the sleeve of her yukata as he stated that they couldn't leave yet, she wanted to explore and learn and buy new things for the room. However it seemed that would have to wait for now. Instead he wanted to know about her which had her eyes light up once more with excitement. She loved it when people showed interest in wanting to know more about her. "Well I don't really have a special diet per say however I find most meat absolutely scrumptious. Back in the village I was raised in we mostly ate meat from animals we'd hunt. I always found the chase more exciting than the capture, however, which always got me into lots of trouble for letting pretty escape."

Kimiko stood in the hall lost in thought at his question. What were some things she liked to do? "As for what I enjoy doing...I love learning, and pranks, and tricks, and bathing in hot springs, and brushing my tails, and.." For a moment she stopped and eyed the man Infront of her before a slight smirk crossed her lips. She moved one of her tails out in front of her and beckoned him closer. "Want to pet it?"

“Yes.. It is. But I would prefer it if you called me Dolly.. I don’t like my full name very much. ”

"Oh, alright. Dolly it is then." Nick wondered why Dolly was averse to her true name. Did she have an... unpleasant past?

“Hi Nick. I think your house looks comfy. Some things might need a big of cleaning up. But it’s fine, really. I’m just wondering.. do I sleep with you, on the same level or can I get the basement?”

"Oh, I have an extra bedroom in this house. I actually prepared it since I knew you were coming." Nick explained with a smile, oblivious to Dolly's true intent with the questions. "I wasn't sure what extraspecies I was getting though so I fashioned it like a human's. I'll try to adjust it better if you don't like it."

“Oh, and I’m a terranean. But my royal guard status makes me look a bit less recognizable.
We’re inherently descendant from termites and other hives do exist. But for some reason there’s been a civil war among the queens. We don’t really have much of a military except for the queens guards, so any and all casualties are civilians. As for the reason of the conflict.. Some people are disputing our ancestry. Trying to relate us to ants, but we’re too lazy. So it doesn’t make much sense to fight over it in the first place.“

"So... so you're some kind of soldier?" Nick was not sure what to feel of having a royal guardsman as the Cultural Exchange partner. And one that's apparently from a civil war. Nick was a bit worried that the war might reach this home but he hoped not. Although, all that did leave him with a question. "But, if you're a soldier... what are you doing here as part of the Cultural Exchange Program?" Nick asked.

"W-well, that is... if you're okay with discussing that type of thing. If you don't want to talk about it, I will understand and will not pry."
