Oh Snap Buildings and S***!

An alien arrived to the island not too long ago. This alien knew very little about Earth but came here with a mission in mind. She was to serve as her planet's ambassador and use her diplomatic skills to earn the trust of the members and gain favor with the council. Then perhaps she could be crowned queen. She looked forward to the day of coronation and hoped that she would be the winning candidate. She could imagine the fanfare as she attended the crowning ceremony and the happy looks on her family's faces. She could bring change to her planet.

But that change was not going to happen today. Today she was going to go by the same cafe she went to yesterday. Yesterday she was welcomed by Earth's ambassador and had a pleasant lunch with him/them. She found herself shell-shocked by a few things, including the availability of water. In fact, she came back for more water and to try out another item on the menu. She contemplated what her choice would be. Perhaps she should try a new drink too? Then again having real water was spectacular. It was so good and pure. She craved another taste of it.

Y'Isha accidentally dropped her bag while walking by Silver's table. Some of the contents spilled out. She frowned and uttered a few words in her native language before crouching down to pick up her things. One of those items was her organizer. It was in the shape of a metal ball. Thanks to its roundness, it rolled up to Silver's leg. She reached for the object.

"My apologies, I should not be prone to such mistakes."

She uttered as she tried to gather everything together. She hadn't taken a look at Silver yet but was addressing him with her apology.

The man responded positively to her apology. This relieved her, but she still felt bad for making such a fumble like that. He was even kind enough to pick up her organizer off of the ground and hand it to her. Her hand grabbed it as he offered it. Her fingertips lightly brushed his skin. Quickly she felt a chill from him more comforting than Earth's hot temperature. She felt a cold that was like a taste of her home planet. The very notion soothed her. Her hand didn't move away. Her crystal blue eyes glanced up to look the man in the face.

"Your hands are cold. It's really soothing."

This would seem bizarre, but the truth was she was an alien from a post-apocalyptic planet covered in ice. It was always bitterly cold and would probably kill a normal human quickly. It was because of this that she had not fully adapted to the island's temperature yet. She also was still working on the gravity, which was why she messed up and dropped her bag earlier. Now that she felt his coldness, she was less interested in food and more interested in learning about him. She sat down in the other chair and pressed a button on the ball.

A hologram appeared. It listed times and events, but it was unlikely Silver could read it. It was all within an alien language. Notably today's entry, which was highlighted, had a large number of blank spots. She didn't really have anything to do today. Another tap of the button dismissed the hologram.

"It's my personal organizer. I use it to keep track of what I need to do."

The ball was gently placed within her bag. She faced forward and crossed her legs. A hand extended out to Silver.

"Y'Isha Luvancrass."

Clearly it was an attempt at a friendly handshake. Would he go for it? Seemed perfectly okay.

@Maximum_Fatalis

As they shook hands, Y'Isha felt the urge to cling onto his hand. It felt so cold and comforting that she never wanted to let go. In fact, she would rub her face against his hand if she could. However, she literally just met him, so that would be a terrible plan. Instead she shook his hand with a scary amount of firmness and strength and looked him right in the eyes. A smile crossed her pale face as their hands separated. She exuded confidence even in a situation where she was ultimately disadvantaged.

"Yes, I am. I've been here but a day."

And there was still much more that she needed to learn. She desired to learn as much about the island and its inhabitants as possible. However, her focus was now on Silver for his cold aura. She absolutely needed to know more about this man. He was more within her climate.

"I cannot help but wonder what species are you. Last I checked, humans were not supposed to be this chilly."

She was an intelligent enough alien to know that there weren't just humans here; there were all kinds of species. She could only guess that some of them were shapeshifters, but she had no way of knowing who and who wasn't without asking them directly. It's not like she had detection abilities. She leaned forward in her chair as she kept eyeing him. Looks like any help he would offer would have to wait.
