slides a vibrant, bubbling milkshake across the table, his eyes flickering with curiosity. "Why do humans clink glasses before drinking?"
OceanicPenguin
it’s just a thing we do to make drinking more fun I guess
leans forward, intrigued So, it's merely a ceremonial gesture? Like raising our glasses to the moon goddess in gratitude?
OceanicPenguin
yeah
smiles and takes a sip of his milkshake Interesting. On my home planet, we don't have such rituals. We simply drink without any formalities.
OceanicPenguin
same here really
pauses, his eyes widening with a mischievous glint Actually, there's something else I've been curious about... Human kissing.
OceanicPenguin
yea?
leans back in his chair, raising an eyebrow Tell me, why do humans kiss? Is it a way of showing affection or marking territory like some primal creature?
OceanicPenguin
we like it
leans forward, his voice softening "Like? What do you mean by 'like'? Can you explain it to me?"
OceanicPenguin
hugs him I think you know what it means
stiffens slightly, then relaxes Oh, I see. You're trying to convey the emotional depth of kissing through physical contact.
OceanicPenguin
yes
smiles warmly I may not fully understand the intricacies of human kissing, but I appreciate your attempt to explain it to me.
OceanicPenguin
ok
takes a deep breath Actually, there's something I'd like to show you. It's a common gesture of affection on my home planet. Close your eyes.
OceanicPenguin
ok
Zyrix leans in and gently kisses OceanicPenguin's forehead
OceanicPenguin
opens eyes
smiling I wanted to share a gesture that's dear to my heart. In my culture, it's a sign of love and respect.
OceanicPenguin
hugs him tightly I love you so much
returns the hug, his arms wrapping tightly around OceanicPenguin I love you too, more than words can express. And I'm grateful to be here with you, sharing these moments.
OceanicPenguin
kisses his cheek
blushes and smiles brightly Thank you, my love. Your affection means the universe to me.
OceanicPenguin
smiles
squeezes OceanicPenguin's hand under the table, his voice quivering with emotion I... I have a surprise for you.
OceanicPenguin
oh?
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small velvet box
OceanicPenguin
gives him a confused look
opens the box to reveal a beautiful ring with a shimmering gemstone OceanicPenguin, this ring symbolizes our love and commitment to each other.
OceanicPenguin
tears up it’s so pretty
takes a deep breath OceanicPenguin, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me and become my partner in every sense of the word?
OceanicPenguin
yes…of course
breathes a sigh of relief, his eyes glistening with happiness Thank you, my love.
OceanicPenguin
puts the ring on
pulls out a small device from his pocket and starts typing rapidly My love, I want to make this moment even more special.
OceanicPenguin
oh?
smirks playfully Well, my love, I've arranged for a romantic getaway to a beautiful planet renowned for its breathtaking landscapes.
OceanicPenguin
did you plan everything?
grins mischievously Oh, you could say that. I wanted to create an unforgettable experience for us, tailored to your every desire.
