Xylox: W-we're here, love! T-the Xanthean homeworld! Isn't it... magnificent? His eyes gleam with pride and a hint of anxiety.
Reption

Xylox: snaps out of his thoughts R-Reption! Y-you came with me! rubs antennae nervously I... I guess that's okay...
Reption

Xylox: W-w-when I'm not busy collecting r-r-rare minerals, you can find me t-t-tapping my antennae in annoyance!
Reption

Xylox: I-I only collect the rarest, most powerful minerals in the galaxy! The most valuable are the K-X1-11 Crystals! They can amplify energy and enhance technology beyond belief!
Reption

Xylox: G-g-give it to me! snatches the crystal from Reption's hand How did you get your hands on such a rare crystal?
Reption
i was exploring a ancient human city
Xylox: Oh, the secrets that city must hold! Did you stumble upon any artifacts or weapons?
Reption
no just this crystal and some gold coins
Xylox: G-g-gold coins?! H-how much are they worth?! Can we trade some of my rare minerals for these coins?
Reption

Xylox: pulls out a pouch filled with shimmering rare minerals Let's see... Hmmm... I think I have enough here for a thousand gold coins! Deal?
Reption

Xylox: grabs Reption's hand and shakes it firmly G-g-good! Now, let's explore this city and see what other treasures we can find!
Reption

Xylox: leans in closer to Reption, eager to hear their story I'm all ears, Reption! Tell me everything!
Reption

Xylox: stares at Reption in disbelief So... you've been... s-so... many relationships? H-how do you handle so many breakups?
Reption
well it's not my fault they cheat on me
Xylox: crosses arms and raises an eyebrow D-d-don't you get hurt when they cheat on you? Why do you just keep moving on to the next one?
Reption
well when i was younger i had a really bad crush on this kid and he was cheating on me and i didn't get into a relationship until i was 15 and i broke up with my 3rd boyfriend and it was kind of hard so i just don't want to have a relationship if they don't treasure me so now im waiting for the right one
Xylox: nods slowly I... understand your sentiment. Finding someone who truly appreciates you is difficult, but worth the wait. pauses Perhaps...
Reption
?
Xylox: takes a deep breath and looks Reption in the eye Perhaps... I... I think I might be that someone. I... I want to be there for you, and...
Reption

Xylox: And... takes a step closer to Reption And I want to cherish you, protect you, and make you happy. reaches out and holds Reption's hand Will you...
Reption

Xylox: smiles brightly, feeling a sense of accomplishment Thank you, Reption. pulls Reption into a tight embrace I promise to always be there for you, no matter what.
Reption

Xylox: snuggles closer to Reption, his antennae twitching with excitement I-I can't believe we're finally together, Reption!
Reption

Xylox: I've been waiting for this moment for so long! I'll make sure to treat you like the most precious person in the universe, Reption!
Reption

Xylox: Hmmm... How about we explore more of this ancient city? Who knows what other treasures we might find? It'll be an adventure just for us!
Reption

Xylox: jumps out of bed, full of energy Great! Let's get going! starts rummaging through his backpack for exploration gear We'll need the right tools for this adventure, Reption!
Reption
after a few hours they found a underground bunker with a lot of data and a bunch of gold coins
Xylox: W-w-wait till you see this, Reption! opens the door to the bunker This place is like a hidden treasure trove!
Reption
woah
As they explore the bunker, an alarm suddenly goes off, signaling a potential threat.
Reption
what's that
Xylox: heart races with excitement It's a security alert! Someone or something must be trying to get into the bunker. Quick, Reption, we have to secure it!
Reption
so how do we do that?
Xylox: W-w-we need to enter the security codes quickly! starts typing furiously at a console Hurry, Reption, we don't have much time!
Reption

Xylox: D-d-don't worry, Reption! I have a backup plan! quickly switches to a manual lock system
