Billy just stood there and stared as a hatch of some sort opened up. Someone which was definitely not human stood up. He could see it from the waist up and it had some sort of obvious uniform on. Thank goodness it wasn't a red uniform. He looked down at his cup and wondered if the beans were bad. When he looked back up the alien was still there and with a very odd sort of hissing accent greeted him.

He stared at the alien for a moment before turning and walking into his house. Billy dumping the cup out as well as the pot of coffee. "Definitely bad beans. I will have to get some more later." He poured a cup of iced tea and walked back out and froze again, "Well crap I guess it wasn't a hallucination." Billy definitely wasn't all there quite yet, "Um, hi?"

Satasha was more than confused by the alien's actions when he turned and walked off. She didn't realize he had a long night and was still a bit drunk and in his way wasn't all there as she was. She stood there for a few moments and was about ready to go back in when he walked back outside. His greeting was not quite what she expected since she most definitely wasn't a hallucination. Thank god her computer was able to translate for her for the most part.

The way he spoke made it rather hard to understand what he was saying. He was dropping letters from words such as 'ya'll' instead of 'you all'. The computer was doing its best to give her an understandable translation but heaven only knew if it was accurate, "Um, hi back? I guess that isn't a greeting you use?"

Billy flopped down in a chair on his porch and rested his head on his hands, "No it isn't a normal greeting, it is from a TV show and how did you know that anyways?" He asked and then shook his head, "Don't tell me since the answer will probably upset me." He glanced up at her and then rested his head back in his hands, "You really do exist right?"

Satasha simply sort of had to blink at him and after considering it decided to get out of the ship. She needed to stretch her legs, "I will be down in a moment and prove I am real." She didn't have the energy to go out the top hatch so she dropped down and ensured the hatch was secured before leaving via the regular hatch and stretched, "By Vartra's bones that feels good."

She walked over to the table he was sitting at and after tucking her tail through an opening in the chair and sitting down stretched again, "Okay, yes I did just come out of a stealth ship. Yes, I am an alien, yes that is my ship, and yes I need to fix it." Satasha looked at the glass pointedly, "I have to say I am thirsty and would love to have somewhere to lie down that isn't moving." She reached across the table and laid her hand near his so he could touch it if wanted.

Billy groaned, "I am so not up for this." He was rubbing his head and groaned again, "I need to fix my own ship. You gotta do yours by yourself." When she mentioned she was thirsty he twitched, "Sorry, forgot mah manners, back in a moment." He stood up and walked inside and poured some tea in a cup and added a pitcher of ice tea. Just for good measure he tossed together a plate of some snacks and carried it out to the table.

"Please if you are hungry this is some chicken, cheese, some crackers and ice tea." He didn't have any idea if she could eat any of it but he had to try. Her hand was still there and he noticed the fur and faint tips of claws showing. He finally reached over and stroked her hand and then rested his head in one hand again, "Damn it I can't deal with this right now."

She pulled a scanner out and ran it over the food and smiled, "Thank you, real food is nice and yes I can eat it." She picked up a piece of chicken and nibbled on it, "This is good, tastes like Chidoe." She picked up the drink and took a sip and smiled, "Very good, thank you and sorry I landed in your back yard. I had a drive failure at the last moment."
