The heavy rainstorm outside continued for another day before it finally past, wild animals roamed freely on the lands while birds chirped cheerfully, the abundance of planet's wildlife was at last brought back to normal routine, restoring the nature in order, the melodious commotion was mind relaxing.

Ray woke up and stared at the clear blue skies through the transparent wall in the bedchamber, as the serenity resonated with her inner peace. She loved hearing raindrops during her sleep. After a few minutes, she stretched her arms above her head as she yawned. She looked at the empty spot to her left where Red usually occupied on the bed, wondering whether or not he actually slept here last night, he was always the last one to come to bed and the first one to rise; he seems does't require much of sleep. She pressed the button hidden in the wall above her head, her gaze landed on the spectacle outside before the wall became solid again, shutting the view and isolating the noises.

She freshened up after getting out of bed, then moved to training room with her breakfast bowl in one hand, it was filled with high protein food, it looked rather like porridge garnished with exotic fruits, she still didn't know what it was made of, figured she was better off not knowing it, but she did miss the taste of fresh juice from earth though, among with other food delicacies for humans. Sitting down on the floor, she watched him while eating.

It was part of his daily morning routine now, he always spends half day training with his various deadly weapons, mostly with the traditional ones like dagger, katana, shurikens, spear, Combistick, glaive. There were other advanced weapons she couldn't quite recognize or put a name to it - besides plasma pistols, plasma grenades, fire bombs, spear guns, net guns etc., and that was all she could remember - he had a whole collection.

She recalled asking him what his shoulder canon was used for yesterday since she hadn't seen him wearing it, he put on his bio-mask and simply led her straight to the exit of the side hatch, a ramp extended to the muddy ground as the door slid open. Immediately sprays of rainwater splashed across her face and body, with one hand she shielded her eyes from the rain and looked up to him, waiting impatiently, then a ball of blue energy discharged from his shoulder, shredding the target - a poor tree - to smithereens, decimating the nearby plants. A charred, giant crater was all that's left on the ground far ahead of them. Plasma cannon with automatic targeting systems, it translated to her as such when her mouth was gaped open in wonder, she saw his tusks clicking at her wildly - he was showing off. Alright, she was indeed impressed.

There was a force field activated at all times surrounding his advanced weapons - to stop her from gaining access to them - she doesn't blame him, not after what had happened two days ago. She was toying with the blue dissolving liquid when he was busying cleaning the weapons, she held the hermetically sealed vial in her tiny hands trying to figure out how to open it and what it was used for, the color looked quite beautiful, she was completely puzzled by it, she didn't notice him until his big hand stopped her and snatched the vial away from her. He gave her such a fright yelling at her like that, the fear in his eyes was evident, she didn't understand why, then he demonstrated its true use to warn her not to touch it again, she stared at the vial appallingly - it was a highly corrosive blue acid - her curiosity almost got herself killed in the most painful and horrific way.

Shaking that terrible thought away, she spooned more of her food to her mouth, her breakfast tasted halfway decent, though the view in front of her was even better. She was spoon-feeding herself absentmindedly while her big brown eyes focused entirely on him, her intent eyes missed nothing when he trained - not even his muscle's flexibility - they way he wielded his weapons was both powerful and graceful, like he could make them dance. He's also got a perfectly chiseled body that probably every man in the galaxy wants for his own, but his facial structure was absolutely terrifying to a human, even she was a bit scared when she first saw him without the mask, yet strangely, the more she looked at him, the more she found him unique, maybe even attractive. She wondered if he was considered handsome among his kind.
