Artemis watched him as he listened to her, realizing that he did seem to understand and when he sat down and told her it was too many. She smiled “Yeah it’s a bit much.” She told the man before her. She wanted to make sure he slept and she knew that he was tired as well. “Yes, it is night.” She said as she showed him the image of the cameras outside. Smiling brightly at the stars that showed on screen, the loss of light, had made the stars shine bright and it was one thing she loved in this terrible world. She then realized he had spoken about the specialist on the spaceship. Realizing he probably needed his device to contact her. And so she decided to take a risk, going to draw him the door inside and outside. Showing him where the keypad was and then writing down the 7 figure code for the man. 

“I’ll be right back.” She said as she realized he probably wouldn’t even understand what she was saying. Making her way over to the door and then pressing in the code. The door gave a huge release of air before the sluice opened, having her walk in and then pressing the button to lock the door on the inside and the one on the outside. She had a visual alarm that blinked when there were dangers nearby and so she just decided to move fast. Going to the birdcage and picking it up, the cage of faraday was keeping it so that his device wasn’t working. Showing that the humans did understand physics. Artemis herself, always had loved science and wished that she was much more intelligent. Jogging back to the safety of the bunker and doing the things needed to get back inside.

She then placed the birdcage on the table before him. “Have a good night.” She said as she then realized it wasn’t fair for him to sleep on the couch. “Come.” She said as she left the cage and used her hands to lead him to her parents room. Opening up the door for him, and pointing at the bed. “Bed” she said as she then opened the other door that led to the bathroom. Giving him a smile as she then showed it to him. “Bathroom, shower” she said as she then went to turn on the shower. It was set to a higher temperature and she held her hand under it. Hoping that he would understand. He would probably figure it out, and so she yawned once more.

“See you tomorrow.” She said as she then left the room and went to that of her own. Closing the door behind her and making sure that he couldn’t see her while undressing. Making her way over to the shower and letting the warm rays move over her. Cleaning herself from all the dirt that had sat there from the moment that she had been hunting for the rabbit. “Alexa turn of the lights in living room.” She told the AI. “Dim the lights until off when sleeping. Turn lights on slowly automatically when we wake up.” She told the AI after it would tell her that it had understood her commands. 

It was going to be a short night, though she felt like it wouldn’t matter if she slept longer this one time. Cleaning her whole body, drying herself off and laying herself down into the bed. The tabled remaining on the table as he would be able to use it if he wanted to. She barely had thought about teaching him more, she was just happy that she no longer was on her own. And why was it that Azdrei’in seemed beautiful to her? She realized that she never really had felt that way about a human man, as a teen she always dreamt about falling for a Klingon or an elve. It was silly, and she believed it to be rather innocent.

“Alexa. Softly play ‘Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets.’” She told her computer. She just liked the idea of a voice talking to her. She didn’t think he would be able to hear it, at least he wouldn’t have heard it if he had human ears. She put herself under the covers and just let that voice lull her to sleep. For the first time in over a year, she was talking to someone again. She just hoped that he wouldn’t leave her on this planet.

It shouldn’t come to a surprise really that her dreams were of her being on that ship. A mix of Star Trek and this new world. Where the ship would be able to translate what they were saying, where she actually could explain the workings of humans to the creatures that had taken her up from the earth. They had wanted to end all humans, just to save the planet and their own species. Oh, how beautiful outer space was. The windows showing her how beautiful it was, today that dream didn’t seem as farfetched as it could be.
