You could only gape at her as Kel looked at your nervously.
“Drake... If you aren’t... I understand. This is a lot to take in.” The vixen nibbled the corner of her lip. “You can just pretend you never met me.”
“Hang on!” You shook your head vigorously. “I don’t want you to leave!”
“You... don’t?” Kel looked at you in shock.
“No, it’s just... I am surprised at this sudden revelation.” You admitted. “But I had a lot of fun with you today. So I don’t want to just pretend I never met you. I mean, a funny, beautiful girl I like? Who cares if you happen to be an alien. I just have so many questions.”
The girl blushed at your words and quickly nodded before sitting down.
“Of course, you would,” She agreed. “I knew you would. I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”
“Why come to earth?” You asked first. “You’re not some... random scouting party to infiltrate our society for some reason.”
“Hehehe, no, that’s not it.” Kel giggled at that. “My planet, Menagerie, is populated by what you humans would call Anthros. Animals of all kinds live there. You’ll be surprised how close to all your arts of furries and Anthros resemble my people. From what history said, we had a scout ship when discovering your race and some of your kind saw us. That’s how anthros came to be.”
“Oh, I guess that kind of makes sense.” You knew people sometimes thought Pyramids were alien made. “If you aren’t scouting, why are you here?”
“Well, it’s because...” Kel took a deep breath. “Multiple reasons. I love the culture of humans and seeing everything you guys make, but that’s not the main reason. You see, my home has one small issue that grew from a virus over thousands of years.”
“What’s that?”
“Male children are very rare,” the vixen explained. “Like only 10% of the population is male. It makes finding a husband very difficult. For breeding purposes, while we get married, men are encouraged to breed any women not married they want to carry on genetics.”
“Does that mean...?” Your eyes widened as you processed this.
“Yes, I came here to find a mate.” Kel muttered. “Not only that, the genetics of humans are very similar to ours, but you seem immune to the virus. Some of our scientists think that a child born between us and humans might be immune to the disease. So if we mix some human genes in, we can fully get rid of the virus in a couple generations.”
“Oh...” You looked at Kel as she stared at you. She was so cute and her eyes betrayed she was worried what you would think of her. “So... are you suggesting...?”
“I do like you.” Kel admitted. “Would you be willing to maybe come back to my planet? I promise, you’ll be treated like a king. You won’t want for anything as thanks.”
“Would I be able to come back?” You asked.
“That might be difficult.” She admitted. “You see, we’re really not supposed to make contact with races that don’t have faster than light travel. If you come, you might not be able to see your friends and family again.”
“Ah... well, my parents and I don’t see eye to eye much.” You looked at the ceiling. “My friend group is kind of small...” A planet of Anthros seemed so tempting. “Would I get to spend a lot of time with you?”
Kel’s eyes widened and a huge smile formed on her face. But before she could answer, a loud bang on the door startled them.
“Princess, we know you’re in there! Your mother is worried!”
“Princess?” You yelped.
“Hehe, I may be the 3rd princess in line for the throne.” Kel admitted, rubbing the back of her head.
The door burst opened at her words and...
