Finally, I am on my way back to Valera.
However, the sour mood hinders me a bit from celebrating.
Liseti hasn’t said a word since she had her remaining forces form a flesh carriage and begin carrying us through the dark tunnels.
Though, it would amaze me quite a bit if we'd encounter anything else.
The worm scoured the nearby tunnels thoroughly, and after those comes, according to Liseti, only tunnels that our swarm more tightly controls.
So with this, I'm finally completely back under the swarm's protection.
Which is the exact issue I'm contemplating now.
After everything that happened, I can consider myself lucky if I’ll be allowed to leave my quarters within the next century.
And with my apparently extended lifespan, I fear that sentence may be considered mild for a Formicea princess.
As the journey is still long and I'm woefully unable to maintain this dreadful silence between the two of us for the duration of the trip, I can't help but to speak up.
(E)
For a moment, Liseti looks me directly in the eyes.
Complicated, intense emotions are swirling inside her pheromones.
(L)
Oh shit.
This was predictable, but actually hearing that my worst concerns may have come true...
This isn't good.
(E)
I may not have spoken it directly, but foremost I'm thinking about humans, which she should've got from my pheromones.
(L)
Well, then I'm glad it didn't come so far.
At least the absolute worst case hasn’t happened yet.
