Chapter #5

Calm before the storm?

    by: Gimlet Author IconMail Icon
You maintain your 'easy walk' and approach the 'woman' as she still screeches rather loudly, also now appearing to shake her appendages slightly.

"Could you tell me, is your vocal, high pitched emission indicative of disapproval of my lack of coverings?" you state as clearly as you can.

The woman's screech seems to falter and her shaking diminishes. After a few seconds her screeching stops altogether and her expression turns to something you think you recognize as 'confusion'.

"Was I not clear? I am sorry, but I have had little contact with others and have not conversed with them prior to this. I may be imprecise."

"W.. who are you?" she asks.

Ah, descriptive classification to identify one individual from another. This could be difficult. All humans seem to possess such classifications, usually several, to assist them in recognizing one another. You have found numerous 'names' on the internet and luckily remember quite a few. You find one that seems fairly common for males and select it as your own.

"My name is Andrew." You consider what little data you have on human interaction. "I am pleased to meet you."

You extend one of your manipulatory appendages towards her, digits stretched wide to indicate willingness to meet in a greeting ritual.

2. She steps back, nervous of you.

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
