Catching him, I slowly moved my hands down to their lower back. I had my palms flat on his skin and waited. They were clearly uncomfortable. I was not going to take a cheap shot and just use them for my advantage. Whether or not they felt the same way, Green Tho was my comrade. They looked at me and asked "You have your hands on me already. What are you waiting for!?" "I don't want to oppress you or anything. If you really can't handle it, we can get others to do it instead." I told him. They bristled at me. I looked at them and waited for them to explain. "If I were to back down now, it would be you shaming me. I won't lose to a Black, even if this makes no sense to me." They were still not calm. "Are you sure you want this? I won't think less of you if you can't do this." I asked again. Green Tho headbutt me in response. I just grunted in pain. They gave me a real dirty look too. I took the hint and started to knead and massage the area. Their tentacles were slow to sprout to its full length. It was as if he was still not wanting it to come out. I just quietly got to work at milking them.
I was warned when Green Tho was ready to release his fluids. They had been stifling their voice and grunting softly instead of moaning. Whether they were holding back or I was not satisfying him was something that I could not tell. I held up the beaker in order to catch it. A final gasp was let out and I caught the white genetic material. As soon as I finished sealing and labelling the syringes and beakers, I looked at Green Tho to check on how they were doing. He was standing up and looking away. "I am done now. We can fuse and give them to the doctor." I informed him. They just nodded. When we fused, I felt a tinge of sadness in me. I decided to not touch on that at the moment. There was a bit of standoffishness they were giving me. I went back to the corridor where the doctor was waiting. I placed the samples in the hoppers. With a curious look, Dr. Ian asked what they were. I smirked and I told him to go and see for himself. He sent a guard into the corridor to get it. When they got the samples to their side, he asked what they were. I explained what it was. Dr. Ian smiled wide at me.
Dr. Ian said "This is good. Very good. It seems that these trials have been useful after all." I looked at him and said "Even more useful to us will be the new and evolving relationship between you and me. This was a show of my good faith. If you want the other samples I have to give, you can come to give me some progress reports on the resettling." He looked at me and nodded once. "You do drive a hard bargain." he said. With that, I turned and went to leave. "Void Flash." Dr. Ian said. I stopped and turned my head to him. "Remember to keep this 'relationship' a secret. This is obviously something neither of us have the full permission to be doing." he reminded me. I did not feel the need to respond. That went without saying. I continued going to the elevator. When we got on the elevator, we split up. They were not interested in any further discussions with me. That was fine as I had to find at least 2 others to collect samples from. Violet Twinkle seemed to be the best target aside from Blue Ignis. All the beakers and syringes I had were cumbersome for me. I needed to put them away.
Eventually, I was able to get Violet Twinkle alone. "Violet Twinkle. I need to call in that favor that you gave me." I told him. They looked at me with a confused look on his face, but nodded anyway. When I told him what I needed from him, he was displeased. "I did not think you would ask something so vulgar, Void Flash." they said angrily with crossed arms. "I know and I'm sorry. I'm doing my best for the Staulir cause." I said. Rolling their eyes, they stuck out his arm. As a warrior, shedding blood was not a big concern for them. Milking his tentacles was not something they were comfortable with. Green Tho was not comfortable either. I made sure to be a quick and gentle as possible. When I finished collecting the genetic material, I made sure to label them. I thanked him and was about to leave when he stopped me. "You're not going to use your tentacles on me?" he asked. I shook my head. As a member of the Warrior class, he was not going to cry. They looked genuinely confused that this was not a simple ploy to abuse them. I assured him that it was not like that. They sighed in relief.
