Images of a horrific place called 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' sprang to mind, and his eyes widened a little as he looked down, not knowing how to delicately tell her that he would want to pass on her fried chicken. Then again, maybe she would have some way of making it a bit less... wretched. But then, maybe she wouldn't. Desmond felt somewhat conflicted. "As long as you don't prefer that it be fried the Kentucky way with eleven herbs and spices..." he said slowly, remembering exactly how it had been explained to him. It was not... pleasant. To say the least.
Cautiously as she offered him a seat he graciously nodded, and then sat, at the other end of the couch from her, but not hugging the other end of it. It was a polite amount of space, which seemed to him, adequate for their relationship, especially given the fact that a few moments ago she had been running her fingers through his hair. She seemed somewhat bemused with the fact that he didn't know what a television was, which betrayed the fact that he needed her all the more, so that he would have someone who would tell him what these things happened to be so that he could fit in with society with a bit more ease then he was currently doing. She might have been bubbly, but at this point he was very, very inquisitive.
"No, I do not know what a television is." he said solemnly. As she brought up a computer, he blinked a little, and then slowly shook his head. "I am afraid I do not really know what a compute-or is either." Desmond couldn't help but wince a little as she seemed taken aback by both of these facts, and gave him the same look that the woman had given him when he had been unable to use a computer for registering for his classes. "I am very, very old." he said when she asked what his age was. He found that tended to work better with humans than to tell his actual age. The human mind could really only take so much sometimes, and often when he spoke his real age it would simply fail to really process with some people.
"But I have been asleep for a few hundred years as well. It seems as if the advances that were made in such a short period of time were... vast and significant. Which is why I am here. I need to... re-learn how to live in the world. And what better place to re-learn such a thing than a college campus?" He smiled a little, though it didn't meet the sadness that was forever present in his eyes. Hopefully, however, Dannika would not notice that. The sadness there was a bit much to try to tackle in a single day, after all.
"Oh!" he said, nodding a little as she mentioned what a television was. "I have seen one of those, the portals, in all sizes, that show many different things. At first I had thought they were magic, but they seemed so prevalent that I realized they were not." he said. "I have seen them in store windows, but I did not know what they were called." He paused a little and frowned. "What is it that people seem to carry with them in their hands? It seems as if most people have them, but they come in all shapes and sizes, but I don't know what they are called." Now he wished he had one so that he could show her. It seemed as if it would be so much easier to explain that way.
"They usually have some sort of buttons on them, sometimes it's just twelve of them, with ten numbers and two symbols..." He looked at her, hoping that she would realize what it was that he was talking about. It seemed as if they were very important, and he was terribly curious as to what they were.
He tilted his head as she explained to him what bowling was. "It seems like the pins would often be destroyed, unless they are made of a tough metal. What are they made of? How heavy are the balls?" he said. Clearly the concept of it was alluding him a little. But then again, he could easily have thrown a bowling ball through an armored car. It did seem like a game he would be good at, however.
"So it is golf, but just putting. That sounds... odd." Desmond frowned a little. "Why would someone not play old fashioned golf then? Is it just a different way of working on your putting skills? Is it scored the same as normal golf?"
