Did you know...
My Humans Are Weird series is a scifi rom com! It has all the best parts of aliens that do not understand humans while also falling in love! You can see it in scenes like...
"What is this?" He pointed at the spot on Wren's arm.
"Uh," Wren tried to twist her extremity. "Where?" She was stretching it out, twisting around, finally able to look at the spot on the back side. "Oh, bruise." She poked it. "Ouch. That hurt." She proceeded to press it again. And again.
"Wren?" She touched the spot again and wrinkled her nose. "Why do you continue to press the spot that hurts?"
She looked at him. "You know, I don't really have an explanation. I guess it doesn't hurt that much, so it's enticing to keep pressing it to see if it hurts more each time. I'm not sure."
Zork'ak was certain that Wren was one of the most unique humans he had ever met. "How did you get that bruise?"
"Couldn't tell you." She pressed the spot again, and when she winced, Zork'ak nearly reached out and pulled her hand away. He did not want her in pain.
Instead, Zork'ak looked back at Adam. "I thought you noticed when you ruptured your blood vessels, and that one looks more painful."
"Hers is a dark color because it's healing, not because it's more painful. Bruises are nearly all the same pain level. Some hurt when you press them-" He cut his eyes at Wren. "But having them doesn't hurt really."
Zork'ak gestured to Wren. "She does not know how she received hers."
He looked at her arm, then his. "Like I said, it depends."
"But-" Zork'ak was looking at their bruises. "How do you- You don't notice- I do not understand." Klyls always noticed any abnormality in their body's functioning. There was not a time that Zork'ak had not noticed something causing him pain.
"It's complicated, I guess. Our species doesn't have set rules."
"I have noticed." He looked at Wren. "It makes your species quite hard to study."
She laughed. "Good. You can't know all of our secrets." She winked at him then.
And suddenly, Zork'ak found it hard to breathe. He definitely needed to go to the medical wing.
