“I have considered that. I originally intended to only study humans, but they have been more difficult that I initially thought considering their hatred for races that are not theirs. I have gained the understanding that emotions are similar enough among all Earthlings that it will not be a waste of time to study them all. I do not believe there would ever be a completion of one study if I only observed one species anyway. They are all too complex.” Dhivael explained. It was true. The supernatural beings she had encountered had placed the same value in emotions as humans seemed to do, but they were more accessible. They did not dismiss her based on the fact that she had not been born on their planet.
“Both.” The Rihan replied. “I am on Earth because I am interested in gaining an understanding of something that is unlike those of my planet, but I will share my findings with my people.” She had been logging much of her findings in her journal. It was one piece of technology that she was permitted to use so long as she kept it hidden from Earthlings, for it was obviously more advanced than anything humanoids had produced. Dhivael intended to write manuscripts on her studies once she was done on Earth, so cataloging all of her experiences and observations was important.
“I have heard that kitsune are collectors of things. To what kinds of items have you been personally drawn?” The extraterrestrial wasn’t one to ever pass up a moment to learn something new even if it didn’t directly relate to her purpose on Earth. Indirectly, this did relate. It was a motivational thing, and that was sort of emotional. Many people attached sentimental value to useless or useful things.
“I believe anything that cannot be proven or disproven to be suspect. I do not know of any species that lives to an exact age, and the way you speak about it, this is simply a belief you have and not a fact that you have seen for yourself. Earthlings have a tendency toward falsifying things and pretending they’re facts. I am not saying that you are a liar. I simply mean that what you may have studied may not be factual.” Dhivael wasn’t directly saying that Meda was wrong. She wasn’t saying the woman was right, either. She simply meant that until proof was provided, she would not be likely to believe it.
“Your mind seems to be more sentient than that of a fox which would be semi-sentient. Your mentality suggests that you do not run on instinct alone as many animals do, but wish to further yourself which is more like a humanoid’s ambition. Do you determine what fox-like physical attributes you show when you are in this form, or is that simply an automatic thing much like genetics are not chosen by a child?”
