The females would do their best to impress him. Choosing one, would be a task and a half! They were all so beautiful and enticing. Chenise had worked hard to secure his attention. Not playing by the rules?
Not a chance! As far as she was concerned, anything goes, was the only option, to securing him as her mate. Beis had noted, her attempts at breaking the rules?
Subtle and yet her attempts at deception,pointed out, time after time by Beis to the point where Chenise had gotten real angry! Twice she was warned to stop being so aggressive at preventing others getting close to Dram.
Beis, took her to task, insisting on being closer to Dram as she gently oiled his back? Suddenly Chenise lunged at Beis, pushing her, challenging her? Now a challenge of this sort is quite an event, the loser in a dispute so challenged, has to admit defeat gracefully.
The challenge was not over Dram, it was, over her right, to be closest to him, Beis sniffed and stopped then swinging her fist caught Chenise across the face flinging her across the chamber slamming her against the bulkhead.
“Beis !” Anolve, moved forward, to grab her. “Smell him.” Beis was insistent as Anolve stopped and sniffed, glaring at Chenise. “You know that’s illegal, pure deception! That won’t help you ! Now, you stay where you are, or I will have you removed !”
She reached inside her bag and pulled out a spray, sprayed Dram’s face gently across the nose, he sneezed, they laughed as he recovered from his hypnotic state. He was not alone, Soniette laughed, she had to give it to her Beis.
A knowledgeable, sensible and more than aware of her capabilities, Bexian Ketlet. Not afraid to stand up for herself! Certainly, no fool and, could she punch ! She had sent, her opponent,, quite a distance, Chenise was now quietly seething with anger..
Anolve could now hear Soniette’s voice, ‘Anolve, get him dressed and bring him to me’ She dismissed the females and after helping him dress, NOT removing his naktak, she left him with Soniette, to go find her partner !
Soniette was pleased, that Anolve, had applied the cream, his Rextrasin was stronger ! It was beginnng to get overpowering ! She decided to send him off, with Wesquin to view the rest of the ship whilst she had words, with her scieste, to see how she could help him, stabilise quicker.
Some time later Wesquin arrived, to show him some more of the ship, he had been asked by Soniette, to show him the nursery and the school area, then bring him back for food and refreshments.
The nursery was noisy. The Kets were, surprisingly well behaved. Most of them too occupied with the game they were playing. Silverlings didn’t pay him, too much attention either?
They were mothers and not interested in finding a male, so apart from saying hello and acknowledging Wesquin, they largely ignored them.
One of them had a Ketlevling in her arms and was showing him off to Dram, she asked him if he wanted to hold him. Dram was reluctant, she insisted. Moments later he was holding him, the Ketlevling pulling on his hair. The Kets mother, remarked how relaxed it seemed with him.
When she realised who Dram was she quickly took the Ketlevling off him, bowed pofusely and apologised, for presuming on him. He took her hand rubbed her ears and kissed them, then rubbed the Ketlevlings ears.
“You don’t need to apologise !” As he was about to leave, he noticed one of the females, looking at him, it was Canuweis, she had, been avidly watching him, with the Ketlevling also surprised, at how well it had taken to him.
His smile had her hooked, she glanced at the rest of him, taking in his size, he was well built and she loved, the way he had morphed, it was not over the top. subtle and distinctive, she wondered what his Ketlevlings would look like? Probably as handsome and as strong !
So this was the Human(a) male her sisters had kept on about ! She smiled at Dram he smiled back, not sure, whether he should have or not! Wesquin by now had seen him glance at Canuweis and was surprised, to see her here.
Even more surprised by her look, of definite attraction, I wonder he thought, then dismissed what he was thinking? Still, maybe he had been right? Only one way to find out!
He looked over to Canuweis, called her over to him. Canuweis froze, she could not, she reasoned, disobey Wesquin, summoning her. Moving over to where they were stood. “Canuweis I have to be somewhere else.
So I need you, to take Dram and show him the ‘Kinder’ then back to Soniette, Understood ?” From his tone of voice, she could tell, he was not asking, he was telling her. She nodded, cursing under her breath.
What would Soniette say. Camweis, was found WHERE? The Kinder (nursery), when she loathes Kevletlings, wants none of her own? The truth was anything but.
She loved the Ketlevlingss, she wanted more than anything, to have her own, but she was terrified of coupling. She felt her tail even now wrap close to her, well down !
Wesquin walked off leaving them, heading down the corridor. Followed by Dram and Canuweis. The chemical balance in Dram suddenly decided to drop, to the point where he felt light headed, Stumbling against the bulkhead.
She moved close to him, helping him to stand still for a moment. Thoughts racing through her head? Remembering what her sisters had said, he suffers from unstable levels of Jasnequate. ‘We had to top them up for him, they had explained how!
Could she and, was she right ? She was sure as he tried to move again, this time even more disorientated, that she had to do something and fast! Moving close she sensed the warmth, the sudden dampness?
He had sprayed her, soaking her Chemoitak! DRENCHING it with the level of Rextrisin, that was overpowering! She held her nose then leaned forward ran her tongue over his lips.
Watching as he slightly opened them, for her, to slide her tongue in and gently plant a little amount of Jasnequate (she was not sure how much !) under his tongue.
Now, rubbing her Chemoitak, pushed against him, squeezing it. She stepped back, feeling the dampness. cursing then watched him recover enough to apologise? She suggested they leave visiting the Kinder and head back to Soniette, where they could both change their clothing?
Avoiding other Animorphs ?!
