It has been approximately four hours since Jaffa last saw Felicia. Jaffa feels bad that Felicia thinks that he invaded her privacy. It wasn't his intention to invade her privacy - he just wanted to understand her. He knows now that many humans have mistreated Felicia. They have used her, manipulated her and even abused her with words. As Jaffa studied the 'humans', he found out that many humans hang around with the crowd of people that they feel comfortable with. Some humans just hang around with their families or people involved with their religion. Some even hang around people with the same race as them. Jaffa knows that not all religions are the same - the religion's beliefs, laws and rules is what makes each religion different. In addition, Jaffa can understand why people from different religions don't really mingle together. Something that Jaffa doesn't understand is race. Some humans do hang around people with different races from them and some humans don't. Jaffa knows that Felicia has mainly mingled with people who do not like her race. He knows this because Felicia occasionally thinks about her past and Jaffa has read those thoughts. The treatment that Felicia has received from people throughout her life has left her feeling lonely, different, and feisty (at times), awkward and sometimes withdrawn. Jaffa wants to help Felicia. Help her truly let go of her pain.

At the moment Jaffa is bouncing his small ball against his room door. He wants to go out and find Felicia, but he doesn't know what to say to her. All of a sudden someone knocks on the door. Jaffa gets up and opens the door to see Felicia with a few tears on her face.

"I am sorry Jaffa," Felicia murmurs.

"I am the one that should be sorry Felicia," Jaffa says as he gently wipes the tears from her face.

"You admitted everything to me. You simply trusted me. And all I do is accuse you of invading my privacy - when you probably haven't read all of my thoughts."

Jaffa starts feeling guilty as he had read a lot of Felicia's thoughts and does know a lot about her past and who she is.

"Felicia, I am absolutely sorry. I never thought I would have-" Jaffa pauses.

"Have what Jaffa? You're confusing me..."

"I have a liking for you..." Jaffa whispers.

"A what?"

"I like you Felicia," Jaffa simply says.

Felicia is in shock. She doesn't know what to say, so she slowly sits down on the floor and stares at Jaffa's door.

"Why are you not saying anything?" Jaffa questions as he also sits down on the floor.

"I'm-I'm so confused and shocked and excited about everything to do with you!"

"Ummm..."

"I am confused because you like me. I am shocked because you are an alien from another planet who can mind-read and has a unique appearance. And I am excited because-" Felicia pauses, as she doesn't know if she should say the last part of her confession.

"You were saying..."

"I like you too Jaffa and I don't even know why!" Felicia announces.

Jaffa's face slowly falls to a frown.

"Felicia, I am sorry. I am truly sorry. I have been reading your thoughts ever since I saw you sitting under your gumtree. I know a lot about your past and who you are as a person today. I feel really bad, because you were right - I have invaded your privacy!"

Felicia just stares at him and watches a small tear fall from Jaffa's eyes.

"I hate how people have treated you Felicia. You are better than those pathetic shits!"

Felicia smiles and takes Jaffa's hand. "You are amazing..."

"Whaaat?" Jaffa utters.

"You are the first being that I met that shows empathy."

Jaffa suddenly smiles and stares at Felicia's beautiful light brown eyes.

"Brother!" Marcus shouts interrupting Felicia and Jaffa's moment.

"What Marcus?" Jaffa shouts back.

"Can I uh come in!? Something has happened!"

Jaffa opens his room door and Marcus walks in with a panic look on his face.

"What's wrong Marcus?" Felicia asks sweetly.

"Jaffa...Felicia...umm I was speaking to a girl that I felt attracted to and then my light brown contacts fell out of my eyes. She saw my sparkly green eyes and then she started freaking out!"

Jaffa frowns and immediately Felicia bursts out with laughter.

"Felicia why are you laughing?" Marcus snaps.

"Sorry, I feel bipolar today. I just never thought a girl would freak out over somebody's eye colour."

Jaffa suddenly starts laughing.

"You think this is funny too brother?"

"Absolutely!" Jaffa says and laughs even louder.

Marcus walks out of the room angrily and goes straight to his room and locks the door.

Felicia then walks out of the room and knocks on her room door. "Marcus, I am sorry ok. The girl probably has calmed down now."

"Go away Felicia!" Marcus shouts.

Felicia walks back into Jaffa's room.

"I think he hates me now."

"Felicia, nah he doesn't. And you're right the girl probably has calmed down. Many humans wear contacts anyway and plus many humans do have green eyes!" Jaffa smartly says.
