Tah shook his head and refocused. What the hell was going on. Had he been infected with something? He looked round. Everyone was where he’d seen them before. No one had come near him. The smells the same as before. Tah checked his PID. The air was tainted with bi products of this Earth but not any known drugs to influence him were present in any of the scans. Suddenly, Tah’s body went on warrior alert. His chest expanding and his limbs loose. Strength streamed into him from his core. Battle blood. Where was that smell coming from?
Tah moved around the space checking for possible attack and found none. Drawing his attention back to the couple at the bar, Tah observed the female. Alex. She was small for a Human, barely came up to his chest. She had what was called ‘blond hair’ pulled back at the nape of her neck. It looked thick. Shinny. Some strands had come loose and were haloed around her face. Tah wanted to brushed them back from her face. Woooah. Tah stepped back. What did that mean. Tah shook his head again to clear it. This time he really looked at the female. Her clothing seemed masculine known as a ‘suit’. She had a clear complexion and her eyes were a deep blue. Tah liked those eyes, they were unique to him and drew him in. This Alex was nothing remarkable by Earth standards from what they considered ‘beautiful’. It meant little to him. His race did not judge by ‘beauty’. She looked nice, he thought but no goddess as Earth literature spoke of, and she looked like no elder he knew.
Tah observed the interaction between Alex and the male, he noticed she was offering moral support both verbally and physically as she reached out to touch this Ryan’s arm. As the female made contact, a growl burst out of Tah. Guttural and harsh and loud. Tah shocked, quickly backed away. What the hell had just happened?, he asked himself he never lost control. And, what in the depths of hell was that? That sound coming from him. A memory surfaced but he could not pin it down. Surprise hit him as he had to bite back further outbursts. The thought of this Alex touching the male was not pleasant for him.
His reason told him they were not involved as a pairing but he felt he was struggling for control. He felt the blood rage start to surface. He swallowed hard. Taking calming breaths. Placing his focus elsewhere. He needed to speak to her. To understand what was happening here. Tah did not understand this reaction to the female. There was no mention of it in the Earth information. Did Earth women entice males with their smell? This was a threat to this people. Something unknown. Not recorded. He was a strong male and if he could react in such a manner to a female of Earth, then others would fall easily. Tah realised standing there this was not going to give him the answers he needed. Walking to the back of the bar, Tah entered the rest room for males. Seeing it empty, Tah materialised, placed his PID in camo and turned back towards the bar. He needed answers and he was going to get them.

Ann had just seen the guy walk out of the rest rooms. OMG, he was gorgeous with a capital G. She hadn’t seen him go in but hay, it’s a free world right. Simply drop dead gorgeous. Amazingly tall and muscular and big, real big, riding that bad boy biker look. He must be a model, work out a lot but those features, defined and bordered on beautiful in a manly way and that hair, wow, any women would die for it. He carried himself confidently. This guy knew how to live. Maybe he was a model part time and a soldier of some kind with lots of yummy skills she mused. Ann’s mind was going into overdrive. “Clare, check this out”. Ann elbowed Clare and nodded in the new guy’s direction. Clare’s mouth dropped open. “Halloooo” Ann whispered licking her lips. The new guy appeared distracted, he’s attention over at the bar. Ann nudged Clare with a wicked smile “let’s go”.
“Hello, can I help you, I’d like to be of help to you” A female had walked right into his path. Tah looked around at the voice. He’d only taken a few steps into the bar when halted by two females. “I’d really like to help myself to you too”. Smiled the second one, clearly both had been partaking of the alcohol thought Tah. His attention taken, Tah lost sight of Alex at the bar and addressed the two females before him. With a tight smile he told them honestly, “I am sorry, I do not know you and it would not be proper to have you help me in any way”. Tah tried to side step them.
They moved with him. Both females turned and stared at each other for several moments with their mouths open, then both burst out laughing at him. Tah felt very confused and his face must have looked it, they laughed again at him. “O yeah, your coming with us big boy, the parties over here”. A female took an arm each and led a very confused Tah, past Alex who was smiling madly at them, with her thumb in the air, over to the group that had been talking about Alex previously. “Ok” Tah thought, I’m integrating and could learn much from this, how bad can this be? ………..
