Boundless

...and Strings

As Gal'vn had described, it was almost ritualistic.

So no, people would seldom have their oomans constant evaluated through the blood offering.

"Well, yes. Usually, a Medic will be on standby".

But that was the ooman's trial; go through the throes of receiving their master's blood and emerging on the other side.

"Right. And you mentioned those oomans are servants and pets? Can you imagine any servants requesting more blood from their masters? For whatever reason? I'm not the coward type, and I find you all terrifying... in a primal way".

Lance lifted the lid of the scanner some more, now sitting up, to be able to look at him and attempt a proper conversation.

Lar'jar's gaze went upwards, his mind working over her statement.

"Hunters can be indulgent with sexual pets. I don't think most are obsessed like Ah'kaedh, but even among the Dark Blade, sex with prey is frowned upon".

The Girl chuckled. She would prefer not to discuss her sex life with Ah'kaedh's older brother, of all people.

(Alas, a Girl had cravings to satiate).

"You know, when your brother started to lick my wounds as aftercare, I had to ask if that was a kink", Lance tried to sound casual. Tried.

"A what?" The medic blinked. "How often shall I tell you that our translation program has limitations?"

"Unconventional sexual tastes", she clarified.

He laughed, enunciating the translated term for kink (so the software could make the association). In any case, no, licking was not a kink on Yautjas' case (as Lance was already aware, but Lar'jar explained anyway).

"Our saliva has cicatrizant properties. Besides, we lick our partners after sex since it's when we have space to indulge in closeness; most of us will end up caring for the other's injuries if a medic is not required", Lar'jar added the last part, just to see if she would react at all.

(Lar'jar curious mind was actually trying to understand how much of their species' sexual behavior his brother had shared with that Girl).

"You guys only cuddle after sex?" Lance seemed surprised. Yeah, she had got the part that the licking was typical, especially from males, but damn!

She would have never guessed tenderness was not common between partners given how Ah'kaedh, who had a cold personality, treated her.

"Well, clearly not you two, since you both spend most of your time drooling over each other", the Medic tsked. "But I must confess I'm surprised with you not gapping after me mentioning the need for a medic".

"I figured you were trying to shock me?", she shrugged.

"Does not mean it isn't true", Lar'jar tried, watching for her reaction.

"I can see how that would be the case", Lance answered after some consideration (you see, it's not like she was not curious, but she needed her blood first). "Anyway, since bleeding and wound licking is normal behavior among your people, do you really think I'm the first to bite? Or that any Yautja would bait an eye if a human asked for more blood during or after sex during the period they are being fed blood purposefully?"

That gave Lar'jar pause. He could see how easy it would be to seduce a partner into obliging such desires. And how that would not be worth mentioning.

Gal'vn was the first scientist to study the process. Before that, they would keep records for the sake of consultation and proper care for the oomans, but yeah. Lar'jar could not see a detailed interview being conducted.
