While I believe her that she won't mess this up, it sounds still quite frightening.
To believe that they could even change this.

 

(H)

(F)

(H)

(F)

 

I mean, if there's nothing visible... Purely coming from the purpose, it might be quite convenient to see better in the dark.

 

(H)

(F)

(H)

 

God, I don't even want to imagine this.

 

(H)

 

So an eye rinsing.
I went through worse before.

 

(F)

(H)

 

She points to the bench where she's usually found leaning on.
I do what she says, albeit a bit reluctantly.
Then she moves next to me.

 

(H)

(F)

 

Without wasting any time, Honiu calls out an order to bring the requested water.
Coming from her pheromones I'd say she wasn't in the mood for a discussion.
In a display of prowess, it takes mere moments till some workers are carrying a large bowl into the chamber.

I waste no time and go looking, to soothe my troubled mind.
Naturally, even if the bowl is quite still, the image is too blurry to be sure, but focusing my eyes, I can still see the colors which should be present.
I sigh in relief.

 

(H)

 

Oh, yes. Sometimes I forget that I also work here.

 

(F)

(H)

(F)

 

"Plop"

 

Oh!
Seems like I have again to deal with all this weirdness.
And I guess this won't change anytime soon.
After all, I am her personal nurse.
So it is my job that she can lay those eggs without any obtrusions.

 

             

 

- Erys -

 

God, whenever my mother goes to this mad princess my worries threaten to overwhelm me.
I can't help but think about all the things which might go wrong.
Or Honiu might intentionally do something to her.
And that she said she might even permit her to do something to her body isn't making things the slightest bit better.
God, this is bad, this is really bad!

 

"My princess, if you remain in this stressed state this won't be good for your production." (K)

 

Some time ago I would've said I don't care, but I was now so many times in the nursery.
I don't wish for those little things there to have to deal with deformations and such just because of me.
However, this isn't decreasing my anxiety.

 

"But what if something happens?" (E)

"I'm sure your mother is perfectly fine. There have so many measures been taken to keep her safe. And she's a capable human." (K)

 

I don't feel very assured, but she's right that worrying won't help me.
So all I can do is handle my anxiety as best as I can and wait for mum.

Fortunately, she returns today on time.
It might be, that I assigned some messengers to inform as soon as she leaves Honiu's district.
So it comes that I, completely by chance, wait at the entrance when she arrives

 

"Mum! Are you fine? Did anything happen? Are you hurt?" (E)

"Do wee have to gEt through thies every siengle tieme?" (F)

"Your workplace isn't the safest!" (E)

"YEs, yes. Ie'm mostly fine. Most iemportantly, how do mye Eyes look?" (F)

"Your eyes? As beautiful as always. That turquoise is quite a nice color. Wait, are they bigger than usual?" (E)

 

I'm not sure, but the colored part might take up a bit more of the white than usual.

 

"Scruh, that's relieeving. I was actuallye a bit concErned about thies change." (F)

"Change!? Wait! You let her do something to your eyes?!" (E)

 

Naturally, I focus on them more intensely.
And promptly I notice countless segments within the black part.

 

(E)

"Ouch! Before you freeak out more than thies, do I neeed to remind you that your phEromone shouts hurt others?" (F)

"S-sorry, b-but." (E)

 

"Splash"

 

Before I can say anything coherent, my mum throws some liquid into my face.

 

"Don't look at mee like thies. It's just clEansing fluid. I alrEady told you about thies, rieght?" (F)

(E)

(F)

"S-sorry. But this, this is just too much." (E)

 

That I can hear my mum in my head makes her statements much more intense.
I'm quite glad I haven't had a longer scolding from her yet.

 

"Farrah?" (R)

 

Oh, seems like we were loud or at least intense enough for dad to notice.

 

"Dad! Mum had even her eyes changed in addition to the liquid thing!" (E)

"Farrah!" (R)

"Erys!" (F)

 

So it takes a small while till everyone calms down enough for a proper discussion.

 

"Okay, I can't completely understand your decision, but can you at least remotely explain to me why you did that?" (R)

"Iet helps mee seee down here. Ie thienk that'z prEtty conveenient." (F)

 

Okay, I can understand that point.
I mean, my own eyes are adjusted.
On the surface, the brightness can be quite searing and hurts if you're not prepared for it, but down here it's the opposite.
My eyes can see quite well in the darkness.
There are still dark spots, but I guess without this adjustment I would be quite troubled.

Actually, I might have even ignored that problem a bit, as I... well, I judged everything from my perspective, quite literally that is.
While I was somewhat aware of it and requested many more light stones for my district and also some for the parts of the hive where the rest of the human delegation was accommodated, I simply am not able to see things as they do.

Now my mother wants to establish our family in this world.
Like this, it's completely understandable that she wants to be able to see here.

And about the cleansing fluid, she talked before.
Even if I don't understand why she would want that and now actually followed through with it.
Seriously, letting her body get adjusted, so she can serve better.
That's a really disturbing thought.

 

"Are you really fine with that, Farrah?" (R)

"Mye eyes don't look differeent. And for mye haends, this ies a biet like swEating. Just thaet I can now hEal wounds wieth it. I don't see manye downsides." (F)

"But please mum. Can you stop now for the close future with modifications? I don't want that you do too much." (E)

 

I don't even want to imagine her with more drastic adjustments.
Like an extra pair of arms, which would probably be convenient in some way.
Or wings, which are really bothersome in daily life.
Or even such a tube tongue for feeding.
Oh god, please not!

 

"Do you thienk I'm addiected?" (F)

"Not necessarily. But I worry that you might lose your sense of the severity of such changes if you do so much in quick succession. This isn't revokable, and you should think about such stuff for a long time before you actually do it." (E)

"Fiene. For now I'll leeave it at thies." (F)

"That relieves me as well, honey." (R)

 

And now they start kissing! Bah!
Just why did I have to imagine that tongue?!
