I had meant to scan Gamble, but then I touched the fur. I also had meant to check up on the other Skunk Folk, but I had touched her fur.
Now I was sitting on the bed stroking her tail while rubbing it against my face. I could stop, and there was only one reason why!
Because I touched the fur because I touched the fur, ba da dum dum dum dum dum. I was so chill that I had created a new horrible line for Afroman’s number one hit single from the two thousands.

Gamble was gone after I told him about the top floor and all the equipment up there. He had gained wings with his class, so he would be able to make it up unassisted.
That was good because I was basically useless now, but I was great. It was like all of my stress leaked out of me slowly with each stroke of my hand.
It wasn’t until Messia had come to find us that I was able to get away from Serria and her calming aura. I hadn’t noticed she had been purring, and once Miasma and I were pulled outside of Serria’s area of effect, the sounds of the busy Hive came back around me.
"What happened to Serria?" Messia asked me as I gave my head a shake.
"I don’t really know, but I unlocked a Legendary Gene called Cat Maiden, and it is one of eight other ones. There is also the incredible strength of her, but I guess because I didn’t make some kind of connection with her beforehand, I didn’t get to wife her, but I want her as an Auxiliary Wife, like Miku and Xani. That is a good idea, right?" I asked Messia, and she nodded with a warm smile.
"You are finally starting to understand your role as the Queen and our roles as your Royal Wives. Your choice to take Serria is a very good one, and it will benefit anyone that gets to spend time around the two of you. Now, you just need to impress yourself on her, and I am sure Hilda will think of something," Messia said with a smile.
*Poof!*
"Honey dew you think I Bee?! A Miracle Bee Worker? She will just have to wait until she evolves at her Class level. So far, the highest level of Subject is ten, and that is Leah, but she has yet to hit her first evolution," Hilda explained as she appeared in her traditional cloud of smoke.
"Really? Leah is already so high? I really need to hurry up and complete these other Hive Quests that I haven’t even got, or everyone is going to catch up with me!" I complained as I lifted off the ground but then stopped and turned in the air. "Serria, are you coming? Just please don’t purr right now. I think that you would put me to sleep!"
Serria hopped off the bed and followed us calmly; it was strange to see her cool, calm, and collected. She had been so nervous before, but now it was like she had adopted the gentle and languid temperament of a cat, and I approved, but I didn’t really understand.

Messia had taken the lead, and I had noticed that the ship had stopped moving, but people weren’t leaving, but I could hear new voices from down below. Messia ignored the noise and led me into a center chamber in the middle of all the Hive living quarters.
There was another chair here waiting for me, and it was similar to the other one I used on the top floor to control the ship. Once I settled down into the seat, I was able to pull up the menu.

"Are we waiting for more people?" I asked Messia, who was on one side of me; Miasma and Serria are on the other side.
"Yes, why?" She asked me.
"I was just checking some things, but shouldn’t I be the one asking why we are here in the first place?" I asked calmly.
"We are waiting for Leah and the girls to get up here with some of the others. They were spotted by the Queens Workers and the Virgin Queen," Messia said in a level voice.
"Okay, I am going to look over this menu while we wait," I said, nodding to her and turning back to my screen, not noticing how bug-eyed Messia had just gone.
"Serria, can you please take your tail from the Queen’s hands and go over to the other side of the table. I need Ashia unrelaxed right now," Messia said while scowling at me.
The world snapped back around me, and the sense of calmness vanished like wisps of smoke in the air. Serria power was unbee-lievably strong, to the point that it could get me to be so indifferent to something as serious as this with the other Queens.
"Sorry, I didn’t notice that her tail had got into my hand," I said, trying to defend myself, but Messia turned and narrowed her eyes at Serria, who promptly covered her face with her gloved paw hands.
"I don’t think you just happened to get a hold of it, but regardless, there is a time and place, and this is not it. The girls should be up here soon with word of exactly what happened, but things don’t look good for us staying here in the village. We received word just before we left from a Tag and Sig who flew the new over to the skunk village," Messia explained, and I just blinked at her.
I wanted to give her heck for not telling me sooner, but she had done everything that needed to be done from what I could see so far. I had been overtired and telling me this news would have only made things worse for me and made it harder for me to sleep.
"Thank you, I am blessed to have you with me, my beautiful and wise Messia," I told Messia, and she gave me that smile that I hadn’t seen in a while, and I got goosebumps up my arms.
