blink.
    “Wow,
you were hungrier than I thought,” she said.
    “Is
there any more?” he asked, his eyes wide and expectant like a
child.
    “Not
tonight,” she told him. “Right now I need to get you
cleaned and dressed.” She took out her supplies and got ready
to clean his wound. “This might sting a bit,” she said.
He winced as she spoke.
    “Yeah,
a bit,” he grimaced.
    “I
think I need to stitch you up. This wound is gaping and you could get
an infection if I don’t. God knows how long you will be here
before you are found,” she said.
    “What’s
stitch?” he asked curiously.
    “This,”
she said as she showed him the needle. She threaded it and used her
thumb and forefinger to lift his skin as she pierced it with the
needle three times. Antash gritted his teeth and dug his hands into
the hay as more pain rocked him to the core. But in a flash it was
over, and when he looked down he saw that his wound was closed.
    “So
that’s stitch,” he said as he groaned.
    “Yes,”
she told him as she cleaned the remainder of the wound and bandaged
it. “There, all done. You will be fine in no time.”
    He held
her hand and looked deep into her eyes when he had her attention.
“Thank you for helping me,” he told her. “But I
need to go.” He tried to get up, but he fell back against the
hay bed.
    “No
you aren’t,” she said authoritatively. “You are
still wounded, the ship is broken and you have no way of contacting
your people. For now, this is where you stay.”
    “If
I could only get this fixed,” he said as he toyed with the
device in his hand, and for a second Jalicia forgot he was naked,
until he stood.
    “Oh,
put this on,” she told him as she blushed. He had been
attractive as an alien, even though his appearance was different. As
a human, he was even more so. He let her slip the overalls on, and he
looked down on himself when she was done. “This is strange
cloth.”
    Jalicia
laughed almost every time something so simple for her, fascinated
him. He seemed to come from a more technical or advanced world, for
there was nothing simple about him. “You need to get some rest.
We can talk about that in the morning. If you don’t rest you
will take longer to heal.”
    And as
if on cue, Antash collapsed onto the hay, and in less time than it
took Jalicia to walk back over to him, he was sound asleep. “Hmm,”
she mused. “I wish I could fall asleep that easily.” She
stood there watching him for sometime before acknowledging she needed
to sleep too. She was about to walk away when she glanced back at
him. This world was strange for him, and she didn’t want him
wandering off into the night where he could be found. She thought she
would go get some blankets and stay the night with him in the barn.
    When she
returned, Antash was still fast asleep. He must have incredible
tolerance to pain, for she hadn’t even remembered to give him
any medication to ease it. Some doctor she would have been. She
sighed and spread the blanket across him and lay down. She looked at
him as he slept, and slowly she began to see parts of him turn green
again. Her eyes bulged as his colors flitted from green to black, and
she lay there amazed at the show he was putting on without knowledge
of it. He perhaps felt more comfortable in his natural state, but she
didn’t know how long he would be there before he was rescued.
Maybe it would be better if he stayed ‘human’ for a
while. She was aware of how unfriendly her people could be to other
beings. She had watched enough television to know that he would not
be welcome and would be a forever specimen in some secret underground
government facility.
    Jalicia
wasn’t sure when she fell asleep, but when she opened her eyes
again, Antash was standing over her. And it was morning. She sprung
from her hay bed, still feeling disoriented, and staggered as she
tried to maintain her balance. Antash reached out and grabbed her to
keep her steady, and she blushed when she
