[quote=Dolores Dutchlanders]“Yes.. It is. But I would prefer it if you called me Dolly.. I don’t like my full name very much. ”[/quote]

"Oh, alright. Dolly it is then." Nick wondered why Dolly was averse to her true name. Did she have an... unpleasant past?

[quote=Dolly]“Hi Nick. I think your house looks comfy. Some things might need a big of cleaning up. But it’s fine, really. I’m just wondering.. do I sleep with you, on the same level or can I get the basement?”[/quote]

"Oh, I have an extra bedroom in this house. I actually prepared it since I knew you were coming." Nick explained with a smile, oblivious to Dolly's true intent with the questions. "I wasn't sure what extraspecies I was getting though so I fashioned it like a human's. I'll try to adjust it better if you don't like it."

[quote=Dolly]“Oh, and I’m a terranean. But my royal guard status makes me look a bit less recognizable. 
We’re inherently descendant from termites and other hives do exist. But for some reason there’s been a civil war among the queens. We don’t really have much of a military except for the queens guards, so any and all casualties are civilians. As for the reason of the conflict.. Some people are disputing our ancestry. Trying to relate us to ants, but we’re too lazy. So it doesn’t make much sense to fight over it in the first place.“[/quote]

"So... so you're some kind of soldier?" Nick was not sure what to feel of having a royal guardsman as the Cultural Exchange partner. And one that's apparently from a civil war. Nick was a bit worried that the war might reach this home but he hoped not. Although, all that did leave him with a question. "But, if you're a soldier... what are you doing here as part of the Cultural Exchange Program?" Nick asked.

"W-well, that is... if you're okay with discussing that type of thing. If you don't want to talk about it, I will understand and will not pry."
