He recalled the other day when he bathed with the queen shortly after coming on board, her tub water was stained gray from the blood in her hair that had been her own by the time they'd finished.
Finished drying off, he sat down in bed, waiting for Rogue, and also thinking about when his queen wanted to start creating offspring. Usually it was one of the first things discussed when a new queen came on board a new hive and yet she had not brought it up in their time together. It was for the best that they wait anyway. While increasing their numbers would be a priority, they had to know if the gene therapy was passed onto young or not, so it would have to wait until after she was inoculated and cleared of side-effects.
