After seeing Mizu immediately burst into a coughing fit, Nathan grabbed his shoulders and was prepared to put him back on the gas, but then noticed his breathing ease up. He let out a sigh of relief. Nathan quickly reached over to grab some lightweight slippers and began putting them on Mizu's feet. Instead of a scientist or a doctor, he was feeling like he was some kind of nurse now. “Sorry, If you're feet are still cold, I could give you some socks, maybe pants to wear under your clothes...Just let me know, if you feel uncomfortable.” 

Nathan turned away to grab the bottles from the equipment bag, and showed them to Mizu. “Like I promised, I'll answer any questions you have...so I suppose you wanted to know about these bottles. You see, our people no longer live on the planet we come from. Unlike your kind, we can't easily adapt to things and our bodies are fragile, so we always need resources for our ships and for ourselves. We need resources for everything, actually, it's pitiful. We can test different planet's materials to see if they have what we need, but the water I took...” Nathan sighed and started writing labels on the bottles. He then placed them in a refrigerated cabinet along with plenty other samples. “I take them of my own volition. For years I've been looking for other kinds of life, things that used to be on our planet. Little things like fishes or organisms, but I never thought I'd meet a being like you...but I just don't know what you are...” 

Nathan had many questions, and he wanted to ask Mizu what exactly was he, but first thing first was any questions he had. He cleared his throat and leaned against one of the counters.
