“Uh…? Yes, I am human,” Carlos said carefully. Hesitantly. “Uh, no – no offense, but… why did you lick me?”
“Abductee? Uhnm… That’s sad.” He smiled, it had been a while since he last saw a human, so he was curious to see how they had evolved. “Can I continue to analyze you? I would like to buy your body for analysis, of course I will wait for you to die before open your boy and I can pay you a fair amount of credit. ”
Carlos’ eyes widened and he just stared at the other man. “Um…?
No, I… I’m not comfortable with that,” he said. “I mean, sure, I can sate some
of your curiosity with medical tests while I’m alive, but… I’m afraid my body is off-limits after death. I’d…
really rather die on Earth, if I can even get back there.”The Collector tilted his head to the side looking at Carlos, “Are you sure? I’m not going to try to kill you or anything, I’ll wait for you to die from natural causes before using your body for research. “He said and smile” I can pay you very well .. “
“Credits aren’t really a thing on Earth,” Carlos admitted to
him. “Like I said… I’d rather find a way home. More than anything.”
