"I'm curious."
The figure across from Alex spoke first. He belonged to a race Alex didn't recognise at a glance. He stood tall, over four metres without any armour. His body was covered in a layered crystal-like chitin that refracted the light of distant stars and galaxies. Six arms were folded over each other while the King class S tier Alien eyed Alex with interest.
"How is it that someone a whole tier below me can give me such a violent sense of danger?"
Alex didn't answer, not right away. He observed the overly calm alien on the other side before deciding how to reply.
"How about this: we go answer for answer."
The alien opposite stood relaxed in the vacuum of space, taking all the time he needed to give a response.
It was as if the chaos, the war and constant death all around him in the Bugonia System weren't there at all in his eyes. He looked far too serene in the face of the battlefield.
