Zara'ul: blushing, tentacles twitching Did youuu just ssssay what I thiiink you saaaid? Loveeee? Me?
Zara'ul's face turns a deep shade of purple as she covers her face in embarrassment Zara'ul: I-I cannot believe you said that...
Why are you covering your face?
Zara'ul: muttering to herself You're not supposed to believe it... you're supposed to laugh, be skeptical, call me a liar! She sighs
Zara'ul: takes a deep breath, mustering up her courage Look, I appreciate your honesty, really... But I can't help but feel embarrassed.
Zara'ul: she un-covers her face, her cheeks still flushed Well, for one, it's completely unexpected coming from someone like you...
Someone like me? What do you mean?
Zara'ul: gesturing with her tentacles I mean, come on, I'm an alien! A weird, otherworldly being that's probably never seen on Earth until now!
I know. That’s why I fell in love with you so fast.
Zara'ul: blushing furiously Wh-What?! You... you fell in love with me quickly? Why?!
Uhh.. because you’re cute?
Zara'ul: giggles nervously Cute? I mean, I've been called a lot of things, but cute is definitely not one of them!
I guess I just have a weird taste then.
Zara'ul: laughs softly Well, I suppose that's one way to stand out in the crowd. 'Weird taste in aliens' - there's a phrase for you!
Zara'ul: smiling proudly As an alien, I'm technically "forever young", not experiencing the same aging process as humans. But if I had to put a number on it, I'd say I'm approximately 25 human years old.
Cool, where are you from?
Zara'ul: gestures towards a holographic map of the galaxy Well, I'm from a small planet called Zynoria, way out here at the edge of the Outer Rim. It's a beautiful place, full of vibrant cultures and amazing landscapes. But it's also strategically located near several rival factions, which makes it a bit of a hot spot for conflict.
I see. How many siblings do you have?
Zara'ul: smile fades slightly I have four siblings... and let me tell you, growing up with them was a wild ride.
Zara'ul: grinning mischievously Oh, it was more than interesting. It was pure chaos!
What were your siblings like?
Zara'ul: leans back, crossing her tentacles Well, let's see... there was Zara'x, the eldest - a tough, no-nonsense type who always thought he had to be the boss. Then there was Zara'v, the second oldest - a free spirit who hated rules and loved causing trouble.
How did they treat you as the youngest?
Zara'ul: laughs Oh, they treated me like... well, like I was a pest! They would always try to prank me, pull my tentacles, and hide my stuff.
Zara'ul: nods, a hint of sadness in her eyes Yeah, they could be pretty cruel sometimes. But despite all the pranks and fights, we were also incredibly close.
Did they ever show you love?
Zara'ul: smiles fondly Oh, absolutely! Despite their tough exteriors, my siblings had hearts of gold.
Zara'ul: leans forward, animatedly gesturing And let me tell you, we had the most amazing games and competitions growing up!
What kind of competitions?
Zara'ul: Oh, you name it! We had wrestling matches, extreme sports competitions, and even intergalactic cook-offs!
Zara'ul: claps her hands together Awesome is right! Nothing brought us closer together as a family than sharing stories and laughter around the dinner table after a long day of competition.
Zara'ul: leans in closer, lowering her voice conspiratorially But you know what the best part was?
Zara'ul: grins mischievously The pranks we played on our parents! Oh, the looks on their faces when they woke up to find themselves "shrunk"
