Gene's visitor today is one of those peculiar-looking rock people, whose clear luminescence when they happen to stand in direct sunlight ought to be indication enough that they're definitely more than human. (That and any casual touch against their body, though they do all they can to avoid that, under the circumstances.)

Their duties as the winter guardian back on Earth had required them to engage in combat with the Lunarians, from time to time, but their low hardness rating made that a risky proposition. Nevertheless, they are clearly drawn in by Gene's work with the sword, approaching him as he trains... though keeping a respectable distance between themselves and that sword.

After a moment or two passes and they remain unnoticed, they lift their eyebrows and interrupt quietly with, "Excuse me."
