*Mulder's face was shining like a little boy at his first airshow.*
"Being from out there. Space. Traveling. Your planet. What it's like to come here."
*He propped his head on his hand and gazed at her.*

*Poe's brow furrowed. He certainly was focused.*
"Do you swear not to repeat what I am about to tell you?"
*She thought it only fair, Erik had made the same promise.*

*Mulder schooled his features to blankness. It wasn't hard.*
"Absolutely. On the memory of my sister."

*That was good enough for her. She nodded.*
"It is....like being. I am afraid it is hard to explain. Can you tell me what it is to be what you are? I am a Giddish Collector, I take pride in my work and that is all. I was assigned this planet, and so I am here."
*She rubbed her hands gently.*
"What is it that you want to know?"

"Anything you'd like to tell me," *he said honestly, trying not to overreach.* "You said... Giddish collector? What do you collect?"
*He hoped it wasn't, say, male genital organs.*

((lol. And I rarely do that.))
*Poe tilted her head, processing the question.*
"I am...bred to collect species that I might recite them to the noble houses of my people. It is my primary function. I have collected 1143 specimens, including yourself."
*She shrugged.*
"But I am still young."

*The words caused a little shiver, but then he started processing.*
"Wait; you've already collected me? Sexually? Like... with semen?"

*Poe took a moment to process the question and then scrunched her nose.*
"Oh no, sir. I should be able to duplicate you properly now. I just needed your body memory. Your activities were very helpful."

*Mulder stared at her. He wanted to laugh, but he wasn't sure if it was in humor or nerves.*
"So... through sex, you absorb the... the biological patterns of people? Uh, beings? And... replicate them back home? That's... I've never thought of that before."

*Poe wasn't sure if he was making fun of her. She stared at him hard.*
"Would it...help you to see?"

"Yes," *he said seriously, and a little too quickly.* "Yes, it would."

*Poe shut her eyes briefly, focusing on force that lay warm next to her.*
"Just...please stay quiet. I do not want to draw attention. And it might be...unnerving."
*After a moment's pause for him to ready himself, her skin began to fluctuate, her bones shift, until she mirrored his form before him. In his own voice, she queried.*
"Better?"

*He watched the whole thing avidly and didn't make a sound. It was one of the single most religious, as well as perversely sexual, experiences of his entire life.*
"Well, not for some things, but that's simply amazing."

*Poe tilted her head as she melted back into her Primary Female form.*
"Some things? I am glad that you found at least some pleasure in it."

*Mulder glanced down. He hoped that was just for her current form, and that his subconscious didn't have something to tell him.*
"I'd rather sleep with you like this, is all. But otherwise? Simply amazing. How does it work? I mean, physiologically, you'd have to be a pretty advanced life form. Does it take a lot of energy?"
