Private Finished Why does this always happen?

"Altizica," a disembodied woman's voice rang out, and in a language that was unintelligible to other beings except for other Eldritch, and echoed through the bedroom as Ecta appeared, fractions of a second later.

The Eldritch had passed easily through the walls of Alt's house, not bothering with the so-called "door". She actually couldn't understand why they would call that wooden thing a door anyways."Doors" opened portals to other dimensions and realms, and these "boxes" that the inhabitants of this world lived in certainly did not embody that function.

"Altizica," she stated unperturbed as she floated along the floor to stop before his bed. "I have been searching everywhere for you," she said matter-of-factly as she looked calmly at the Eldritch prostrate on the bed.

"Does RSVP not mean Répondez s'il vous plaît?" the blonde-haired woman pointed out as she regarded him questioningly. "Because if it does mean that, and I am sure it does... Then I am doing just that - responding," she told him.

"And why are you surprised? You asked me to come, so here I am," she stated as she peered again at Altizica. The logic of such a thing was apparent or so she assumed.

"It is common courtesy I would think, no?. Not like certain beings who think devouring uncataloged worlds is an acceptable course of action," she stated, pursing her lips together as she stared at him unimpressed, and accusingly.

Ecta just continued to stare blankly at Alt, not commenting at all on his observation but noting his tone of voice which she found to be slightly dismissive. Frowning slightly, the Eldritch studied Altizica and the area he was resting in intently. He was obviously not paying attention to her, which was not acceptable to her, and so Ecta, after a moment of indecision, decided that the apparatus he was lying on must be the problem. It was making him unresponsive - something that annoyed and fueled her curiosity - few things had influence over an Eldritch.

And so, doing what she did when needing to know why something did what it did, she opened her jaws and consumed the bed Altizica was laying on, eating the blankets and pillows in the process until it was all absorbed which took all of less than a minute.

When she was done, and Alt was on the floor, she made a funny, if somewhat thoughtful, face as she quite literally and figuratively digested everything.

"Metal and wood, no, carbon fiber, frame that supports a .." here she struggled a second, trying to put everything together, and then smiled when she understood, "A mattress that offers lumbar support. The cloth items, blankets and sheets offer warmth and are made from .. plants, and ... oil?" here she frowned at what polyester was.

"Why do humans cover their bodies with a petroleum product?" she asked Alt, now she fixated on this curious fact she had just learned.

Letting Altizica pull her down, she sat down on the floor and let him use her lap as a pillow, unperturbed by the strange gesture.

Looking down at Altizica with an unfathomable expression when he asked her about her motives for being there, Ecta nodded finally - a gesture she had seen other being use. "You took something from me, I want it back," she explained calmly.

"Maybe you could let me consume you?" Ecta suggested. "My calculations are that the knowledge I want is stored within your body," she explained calmly as she eyed his prostrate form with eagerness.

Ecta wrinkled her brow in confusion when Altizica said she was comfortable. "What an odd observation..." was all she said while trying to understand why he had stated such a strange thing.

"Those planets were not yours to consume, Altizica," she countered sternly. "Cataloging information for posterity is not the same as destroying a world and all traces of it," she sniffed, clearly not agreeing with his opinion.

"And your father can't give me what I want," she told him as he patted her shoulder, seeing no reason in doing such a thing as he had suggested. "Only you can," she reasoned as she looked down at him, her blue eyes now bluer than any blue could possibly be.
