Chapter 83: Noctural Party, I
Chapter 83: Noctural Party, I
“So, I heard you chose a room.” Raya muttered while tapping a screen a couple of times. “That’s nice.”
The Paru shrugged.
He was standing on a circular platform similar to the ones used to cast holograms for the Wizzos and Graniliths before arriving on Tyl.
‘Once again, not the kind of tests that I wanted…’
“Mmm…” Raya scratched her cheek while staring at the result. “You’re hiding them. Would you be willing to show them to me?”
‘Well, if she already knows about them… I suppose I already showed the tentacles anyways.’
From below the Paru’s carapace, sharp legs similar to an insect’s as well as two tentacle limbs appeared.
“Cool…” Raya whispered as she nodded. “Parus are certainly an interesting Species. You don’t mind me getting some DNA samples, do you?”
He didn’t mind.‘It’s not Parus that are interesting though, it’s me. The rest of the Parus are still dumbly eating crystal now. Well, I get what she means though.’
Raya took hold of a cotton swab from one of the numerous drawers in the lab.
She walked closer and closer, until the distance separating them was close to nothing.
Her chin was raised high, so as to maintain his gaze.
“Can you come a bit closer?” Raya asked.
She was blushing, but just a tiny bit. The Paru only noticed the blushing because of how much attention he paid to her face.
The Paru slowly bent his back, closing the distance between his face and hers.
She gently lay a hand on the side of his jaw.
“Open up.”
The Paru’s lips slowly parted, and Raya’s hand moved even slower.
She inserted the end of the cotton swab into his mouth and pressed it against the inside of his cheek.
“All done.” Raya whispered with a smile, as she slowly pulled the cotton swab away.
Her other hand had remained on the side of his jaw. The Paru didn’t straighten his back.
Raya stared into the Paru’s eyes for a bit, before stroking the end of his cheek with her thumb.
“You can go…” She whispered without looking away from him as her hand caressed his jaw all the way to his chin, before pulling it back to her side.
The Paru stared for a bit longer, and Raya stepped back.
He left the room moments later, while Raya remained with her lower back against the laboratory bench behind her.
“Phou…” Raya exhaled, feeling a shiver run through her body. “I guess I will have to make a move somehow?” She whispered to herself. “Now that he has a room…”

The Paru spent some more time wandering. Just like before, Roka was avoiding him. Liz didn’t leave her room once. Rea needed to remain focused.
Seeing him, the guys started debating the names they should bestow upon the Paru and the female Granilith.
Bored by that debate, the Paru demanded the key from Jay, left the main floor, and went to find the female Granilith, who happily welcomed him with open arms and excited fidgeting.
Since the trip was only thirty-six hours, most dreaded the passage of time.
They had woken up a couple of hours before take-off, which meant that they would go to sleep about twelve hours into the trip.
Twenty-four hours after that they would arrive. Therefore, another full day and night.
They dreaded the time when it would, theoretically, be night.
Since they mid-travel, they could decide when to sleep and when to wake up, but keeping a stable daily routine, at the very least when it came to sleeping and waking up, was very important to them.
With no one sun shining above, the passage of time could become confusing. One hour… Ten hours… Twenty… Keeping that schedule and sticking to precise hours, as much as they could, allowed them to not get disoriented or lose track of time.
But there was one who had been waiting for “Night” to fall.
All day… No, during the past two days, he had been debating it, weighing the pros and the cons, as well as thinking about any repercussions that it might bring.
He thought about it for a long time, but the thinking didn’t matter much.
While others were off to their duties, he had taken time to choose the right clothes, to take a long and relaxing shower, and to prepare mentally.
Al wasn’t exactly sure why, but seeing the Paru and the female Granilith back then had awakened desires he hadn’t felt in a very long time.
Sex, to him, was a very boring experience. It was never pleasurable or interesting.
For the first time, he felt like it might be.
Al had spent a long time brushing his teeth and hair, as well as selecting suitable clothes.
Unfortunately, there was only a limited selection aboard the ship, but that would have to do.
Male Workas are, by nature, smaller in height and size.
Their muscles weren’t as developed. Large muscles were seen as feminine anyway, so Al wore a baggy black tank top that showcased his thin arms and narrow shoulders, devoid of any muscle mass. Around his neck was a tight red necklace.
‘Wearing something tight around my neck is sure to make her go crazy… If she doesn’t take the hint though…’ Al sighed.
Female Workas were often blind to the signs and hints thrown at them by the males.
Ever since Al had seen the Paru and the female Granilith, he had been throwing hints.
Looking at her for longer than usual, playing with his hair, talking to her more often than he usually did…
But she didn’t pick up on any of the hints!
‘How blind can you be? Seriously.’ He sighed as he prepared to leave his room.
The crewmates had, long ago, agreed on the time at which they would sleep and wake up.
During the period of sleep, Rea would turn off most of the lights within the ship, and dim the rest of them just so that it wouldn’t be completely dark.
The lights inside the rooms were solely controlled by those inside of those rooms though.
Al quietly pushed his door open, and was gladly met by a dark corridor.
