@el-coyote
âGracias, señorita, â he whispered as he took the water; his voice did sound a bit hoarse from his stint into the sun, most likely face down in the sand for God-knows how long. Coyote sipped the water slowly before setting it to the side and swirling the spoon around in the soup a bit more. He wasnât exceedingly hungry but putting some food in his belly would be good for you. âI appreciate you not takinâ me to the hospital. Very rarely when I go that is not my final destination.â He didnât elaborate on that too much. Itâs probably not a very good idea to tell strangers, even giant space sheep, that youâre a wanted man with a bounty on your head.
He rubbed at his eyes and through the scruff on his face. Finer bits of sand were still lodged into his facial hair. âMy van broke down a good few miles away ânâ I was out of water for the radiator. Once I am rested ânâ rehydrated I am sure I can get it started again if I brink a bucket with me.â A few bites of the soup where taken and then he sat that down as well and turned his full attention on the sheep nursing him back to health.
âI am sorry if this is rude of me to ask are you the only one livinâ here or are their other of your kind? This casa â it is small. Seems almost too small for one of your size.â
She couldnât help but giggle as he spoke in Spanish again. She wasnât trying to be rude and she hoped he wouldnât think that of her. She just simply thought it sounded nice. Nellsa cocked her head as he spoke about her not taking him to the hospital. She didnât fully understand but for now, chose not to ask.
âWell...yaâd best wait til night when itâs much cooler. No use in you going back out in the sun. Iffinâ ya need any help, Ah can simply drag the van back here or into town.â Just needed to find her harness so she could attach it to the van and pull it. Actually, she hoped he agreed as it would be great exercise for her!
âOh, well...Yes, itâs just me. Small houses are unique and lovely~ Uhm, well...Ahâm...I donât know. Raised myself here and never seen anyone who looks like me. Not here, not on the internet, not anywhere. So Iâve just assumed Earth isnât my real home. Other than those facts, nothing else to really back up that thought.â
