She'd be offended except that he was really into double entry bookkeeping.

She has a six-year-rated implant that she got last winter, and even if she didn't they're different species, so no need to double-check if there are very low key population controls around here or set up a coparenting contingency plan, she can just obey the hormones.

He doesn't know this and so is going to ask if she has a condom with her.

"No - can you even produce them at this tech level or are they all a century old - we aren't the same species and I have a contraceptive implant."

"We can make them - do you have any sexually transmitted diseases I should know about?"

"No."

In that case he has no more objections!

Yaaaaaay~

This is really so much better than he thought it possible for first contact to go.

What unimaginative first contact scenarios. Everyone knows that they are supposed to involve banging cute aliens.

Honestly the thought had never occurred to Laithan, but now that he's met this particular alien he can see the appeal.

She would be such a good ambassador to this planet if only everything about the situation of first contact were different.

Laithan is unclear on whether this is supposed to be part of an ambassador's job but he is definitely not complaining.

Anyway she'd like to shut up her springbrain for like a whole day maybe, might take a while, is he up for that?

"I really wish I was, but I have a bunch of work scheduled and should not cancel all of it on such short notice."

"Fair enough. Can I hit you up again? This will be going on till at least summer."

"Yes, please do. Though uh, it will be easier if you schedule something with me in advance."

"Yeah, that's fair, my work schedule's pretty flexible and Eefa has been warned that in the springtime Amentan grownups need privacy sometimes so whenever works for you is probably fine by me."

"How often would you like to schedule for?"

"Probably every day, I can get by with less but this way it'll be less annoying if you need to cancel."

"Hm, would my place work?"

"I'd have to check with Eefa if she's okay with staying behind without me even on the Elysium premises."

"Hrm. My parents live at my place and could watch her if she'd prefer to be closer to you."

"I don't know if she'd go for that, she's really shy."

Nod nod.

"I think I'll be able to be at my place in the evening more often than I'll be able to be here in the evening, but if that doesn't work then I'll still be able to be here a few times a week hopefully."

"I can at least bring her by and introduce her to your parents even if we don't get to have sex on that particular occasion."
