"We had five years when my child arrived. He's been on Earth two years now." As much as Tom tried to remain hopeful it was disheartening.
Aletayria sympathizes. "Our war was eight thousand years, at least. I was born near the end of it but my cousin Thomas was born before it started." The thoughts surrounding the name clearly mark the person she speaks about as the person humans tortured. "It is something our people share. Mine still see humans as barely more than pets or animals."
Of course she didn't given her partner. She thought highly of Tom's intellect and especially his courage.
"Thomas does what he can but the damage to his eyes is permanent. I understand what you mean." Aletayria agrees. "We have some parts of our mental and physical nature that make us vulnerable but together they make us who we are."
Tom is listening too but his thoughts are a bit scattered over many topics. "Ziggy has a similar problem. I have to watch who is around him because he gets caught up in other people's feelings easily. I couldn't imagine how someone with similar abilities would survive, mentally, in a war."
There was a misunderstanding of what he meant but he is still glad for the information. "I mean I've met another person from your species, I think."
Ravage's explanation gets a bright and affectionate laugh from Tom. "I know what you mean. I went through a wild chain of emotions when I met her. She looked different then, less human."
Aletayria rolls her eyes at him but it is affection between the two of them. "He thought I was scary and ugly for months."
There's a sense in their emotions that coming together was difficult for them for so many reasons. It had been from mindset to physical differences that made things awkward.
