"Are you tired?" he asks, then mimes sleeping.

"No..."

"Baby tired?"  Points at baby, mimes sleeping.

Peka turns so he can see that the baby is asleep on her shoulder.

He walks over to the spare room and gestures for her to follow, then opens the door to show her the crib inside.  Then he mimes putting the baby in the crib.

"Yes or no?" he says.

...she puts the baby down.

He leads her back to the kitchen and attempts to teach her more words (and provides her with better note-taking materials).  More vocabulary, plus conjunctions and basic questions and that she should call him "sir".

She learns words, and forgets words and relearns them, and calls him sir!

He is extremely patient with her when she forgets words!

(She only needs to know enough English to interact with him and Mary, anyway.  She'd need more if he were planning to let her leave, but.)

He attempts to teach her adjectives.  For example, he shows her pictures of sunsets and models and similar and says "beautiful."  Then he uses it in some sentences--"Peka is beautiful, Peka has beautiful hair, Peka has beautiful eyes."

...she giggles.

He looks adorably pleased to have caused giggling!

Words words words it's night and he eventually gets tired.

"I will sleep now," he says.  "You stay in your room."  He takes her by the hand and leads her to her room.

She giggles again when he takes her hand and grabs some formula on the way out, presumably in case of nighttime baby wakeups. She goes to her room.

He follows her in.

And pushes her against the wall and kisses her.

...okay that's apparently happening now.

He steps back and smiles hopefully, trying to evaluate her reaction.

...smile? Smile.

Smile!

He kisses her again.  And there is also some hair-pulling.

Not her kink, but, uh, okay.

...you know, on the one hand he was planning to finesse this particular seduction a little more, but on the other hand, he really wants to fuck his new alien.

He leads her to the bed.

"Sit," he says, pointing at the bed.

She sits.

"Wait for me," he says, and he goes back to his room to get his gear.

Mary's there.  She watches him go to the closet and get his things.

"John," she says.  "We're going to call Pastor Dan in the morning, right?"

               "No," says John.  He walks past the bed and towards the door.

"Where are you going with that?"

               "Not your concern."

Mary grabs him by the wrist.  "You," she says, her voice shaking, "are not going to...to sleep with her."

               He jerks his hand away.  "You don't give orders," he says, softly.  (He expects her to flinch.  She doesn't.)

"We're married," she says.  "You...you stood up in church in front of God and everybody and you promised you'd love me and only me forever, that's not... you can't just decide to break the sixth commandment like it's nothing."

               He slaps her.  She staggers back.  He turns, expecting that to be the end of it.  So when Mary picks up a lamp and swings it as hard as she can into the back of his head, it takes him completely by surprise.

She walks to Peka's room and opens the door.

...Peka waves.

Mary does sort of an awkward half-wave and then a "come here" gesture.

Peka goes there.
