(sighs with exasperation)

Gravity bit her lip, unsure what to do now. She looked over at the mass of burnt metal and sighed.

He went to stand, his long legs nearly buckling underneath him as he did so.

Gravity immediately darted forward to support him. "Whoa there, take it easy." she said in a quiet, soothing voice.

The male gently leaned against Gravity for support.

Gravity decided on something and started to lead him forward slowly. "Come on." she said.

He tried to keep pace with her, his body still adjusting to the gravitational and atmospheric differences.

Gravity saw he was having difficulty and slowed down. Then she thought of something and stopped, wondering how to ask if she could attempt to pick him up. (I'm assuming he weighs light enough for her to do that.)

The boy shook his head and held up a hand, eyelids fluttering a little as he inhaled though the gill-like slits in his neck.

gravity didn't know what to do. But her eyes darted to the gills. She tilted her head curiously and almost reached to touch them, but quickly yanked her hand back and looked at the ground, her face flushed.

His eyebrows furrowed at her actions and his fingers went to his gills, lightly touching them in confusion.

Gravity looked at him out of the corner of her eye as she started leading them forward again, her hair fluttering away from her neck in a soft breeze, showing her bare neck. No gills.

The male hastened after her, extending one hand to touch the female's neck in curiousity.

"Sllig on?.."

Gravity's eyes widened a bit as the boy touched her neck. She shuddered a little, before pressing up against his hand, letting him explore.

She shook her head a little, touching her neck herself. She wished she could talk to him so she could explain. Humans had the genetics hidden deep in their DNA for gills, but evolution had rendered them obsolete.

He faltered in shock.
"em dnatsrednu nac ouy?"

Gravity looked at him serenely, before stepping just a little closer to reach up and lightly touch the fin-like appendages on his head, her eyes bright with wonder, her hair lightly waving.

The male's eyes widened at this, face flushing bright, highlighter blue.

Gravity made a soft squeaking noise when she touched them, a big smile on her face as she played with them for a moment.

He squirmed a little at the sensation, the blush deepening and spreading to the tips of his ears.
"Hah..-"

Gravity realized what effect the touching was doing to the other and quickly backed off, her face flushed and her hands held to herself as she looked away in shame.

He nervously dusted himself off, if only out of habitual embarrassment.
"Y-Yrros.."

Gravity turned away and started trudging through the forest, a few tears of humiliation leaking down her face, which she kept hidden.

The male quickly caught up to Gravity, grasping the other's shoulder gently.

Gravity quickly wiped her cheeks before turning to the alien. "Hmm?"

He paused, then let slip a shy smile.
"Djoşwa Starskap.." He said as he pointed to himself.

Gravity tilted her head before listening closly. Was that his name? She repeated what she thought it sounded like. "Josh…ua Stars Cap?" Then she shook her head and pointed to herself.

"Gravity."

Joshua's smile widened at this and he nodded.
"..Guhruh.. ahvehtay?"
