Todd resumed washing her back. He was fairly confident he could put in a good argument for keeping Rogue on board. While their time together would be severally reduced, especially while the queen settled into life on board the hive, Rogue would still be among his crew and have a place to call home.
During his imprisonment, after the ache of starvation seemed to reduce him to his weakest point, he remembered feeling what humans call "homesickness". He'd changed hives many times in his long life for one reason or another, but still, the familiarity of a hive was among the things he'd longed for most.
Rogue would undoubtedly feel as he had should their queen boot her off the ship, only difference was that there'd been a glimmer of hope during his imprisonment that he'd see a hive again. For Rogue, it was either Atlantis, or the worshiper world and the farmland, and never again board a hive.
"Cease your fears of the future" he advised. "There are a lot of unknown factors regarding that distressed ship, including the possibility of there not being a queen on board at all."
