Ben10tober Day 18 - Eyeguy

-Fun fact! Their home planet, Sightra, has a surface similar to gelatin. So your friend finds it really weird walking on the solid ground of Earth. It's kinda like when you jump on a trampoline and then step back down, like it feels like the earth should be moving. Because of this they keep complaining about how hard the ground is and how makes them feel kinda nauseous. Give them some aspirin and they'll be fine.

-You can't keep a secret from them, they can immediately see it on you if you try to lie. The smallest facial expression, the way the surface temperature of your skin changes, hell, they can even see the way your pulse picks up.

-"Did you eat the last ice cream sandwich that was in the freezer?" "...No." "I can see the way you're starting to sweat, don't lie to me."

-In return, they suck at lying. None of their eyes can ever look at you when they're saying something that's not true, not even if it's just a small white lie.

-They easily get overstimulated by sights and sounds, especially by large crowds. The sights and sounds are just so overwhelming, so most of the time the two of you hang out at home or somewhere more private. They also prefer it when the lighting is dim as it's less straining for their eyes.

-If the two of you have to do something where there's a lot of people, hold their hand. It helps grounding them. Or give them a fidget toy to distract them. Something soft and squishy preferably since it reminds them of their home planet.
