Aliens can be crazy cat ladies, too.

sordiddetailsIt took her a long time to want to leave the house, partially it had been convincing Tom that it was safe. Though, the number of human looking beings here did make Aletayria nervous. She didn't like humans generally, but she couldn't say she hated the species wholesale anymore. Not after leaving her own species for a human husband. She'd found her way down to the plaza with the sandy, red striped catwing kitten on her shoulder.
She sat at a table under the shade of a tree with a large pitcher of ice water filled with slices of citrus. The perfect accompaniment for the hot day. The same with the lightweight white sundress she wore, and the hand fan that was constantly moving. It was hot, so unbearably hot for an Anthean even though it was moving toward evening and the day cooling, but she wanted to get used to warmer weather so she could enjoy the summers.
At a glance she might look human, but the striking woman is anything but if someone stops to look. She's 6 and a half feet tall, rail thin but not bony. She has a softness to her shape. Her limbs and fingers seem too long for human proportions. There are quirks of appearance; she has no fingernails, no earlobes, tiny bicuspid fangs are visible when she opens her mouth to drink, and her facial features are delicate like the description of elves in Tolkien or some other fantasy novel. The white skin paired with a cascade of sunset red hair that hangs in loose curls to her waist, unnaturally bright, but her eyebrows and eyelashes match. The eyes though are where her non-humanness really shows. The eyes are sunny yellow, no white visible, with thin black slit pupils and are too big for human proportions. As she blinks her eyelids are transparent enough to see the pupils through them. These were for her own world, to protect her eyes from radiation.
Not only is she physically eerie, but her presence is unnaturally calm, soothing, and peaceful. If the concept of zen could manifest as the poise of a person. Anyone sensitive to empathic abilities could potentially feel that is the source of the gentle aura. She is busy playing with the kitten who is eagerly batting at the fan, trying to catch it. Alternating between attacks on the fan and pouncing on Aletayria's curls, the little downy wings bouncing on the kitten's back.
By the time she looks up from her newest companion there are others in the grouping of tables, coming out to enjoy the summer evening. She doesn't know much about the Nexus proper yet but she's bold and been told the residents are, by and large, friendly.
That in mind she looks to the nearest person, speaking in a clear voice that is distinctly in a higher octave than most humans. "Hello, I'm new here. What is there for a couple to do, something that doesn't involve drinking or violence? Maybe something romantic or cultural? or scientific?"
She had a lot of ideas but realizes she might bombarding the poor stranger with too many questions at once.
[OOC: If you want a little background on her species, that is here]
