"Ngh..." Lance closed his eyes, but kept himself from tensing up so the blood would flow easier. He breathed steadily, holding onto S.V. and urging him to drink until he was fully recovered. Lance had a duty to S.V. More than that, he loved S.V. It was worse for him to be weak than if Lance was. A weak human was normal. But a weakened vampire could be killed instantly in order to take what the vampire owned. "I've lost more blood... Than this before, S.V... Please... Drink your fill."
Vinegar held on tighter to Ethan as they walked in. He pushed himself farther into the dark little cubby that was made for him, cradling Ethan with all four arms. Michael looked up at Blake and blinked. Something about Blake made him uneasy, and he whimpered a bit.
Blake knelt down to see into the cubby hole, where the alien family lived. "I've come to see Michael's ability. Come out boy and show me, I do not want to waste any time."
"Master, if I may please," Anasophia gently asked, and Blake looked to her.
"If you think you can," Blake replied.
Anasophia smiled and knelt before the cubby. "Vinegar, Ethan, his highness only wishes to see your power so we can find out how to keep you protected. Don't worry, we won't hurt any of you." She held out her hand to them.
'It iiisn't that I don't truuust you,' Vinegar said to Anasophia, 'Buuut it is hard to reeead Blake. He seeems to have no emotion... He cannot eeeven hear me. And Eeethan... Something is haaapening to him and I'm afraaaid for my love.' He nuzzled Ethan, stroking his hair. 'Eeethan,' he cooed.
"Ethan is unwell? I will get S.V. Vinegar, but please do as Blake says. I promise everything will be okay."
Vinegar stroked Michael's head and he slowly came into the light. He was bigger now; about the size of a 13 year old. "Blake, sir..."
"I've heard you can grow plants, Michael. I'd like to see it."
"Excuse me," Anasophia said as she bowed and hurried to get S.V. If Ethan was ill, S.V. was the only one she could think of to know what to do.

Vinegar held Ethan close, stroking his hair as a means of comfort, hoping he would be alright.
Michael closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling in his stomach.
"Wait, not here," Blake told Michael, "I won't know for sure if its true in the greenhouse. Where did you use your power last?"
"Flower," Michael replied, taking Blake's hand and guiding him out of the greenhouse.
Blake almost wrenched his hand away out of reflex, but refrained, wanting too much to see this power to do something to upset the Alien. Michael started guiding Blake up to Salcie and Peter's room.
Lance was about to say something when Anasophia came forward. "S.V." Anasophia said, "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting anything... But Ethan... He seems to be sick. He's trembling, or something to it."

Vinegar didn't want to. He had no desire to, but S.V's emotions led him to think perhaps it would be the best to do for now. He set his love down and walked over to S.V. Vinegar's eyes kept locked on Ethan. 'Eeethan... Eeethan...' His whimpers and cries of worry was enough to break one's heart.
Michael stopped in front of Peter's room. "In here," He said.
"This is where you grew plants?" Blake asked, and knocked the door.
"GO AWAY, I'm busy!" Salcie cried from the other end.
"I hope you don't speak to S.V. in such a tone, siren." Blake replied.
"That you, Blake? s**t..." Having just had his way with Peter, there were bruises around the rabbit's neck. "What do you want from us?! Come back later!"
Blake's mouth downturned just slightly, before he tried the knob and noticed it was locked. He lifted his foot and kicked the door down. "How dare you speak to the king in that matter. Do you think I'll just allow you to tell me when and when not to arrive?" He never raised his voice, but his green eyes glowed with fury. He seemed to pay no mind with the fact that Salcie was standing naked in front of Peter, who was on the bed. Though Blake did notice sharply, the bruises. "You have ten seconds to explain to me why Peter has been harmed."
"He is MINE, I've claimed him," Salcie defended, caring not of his own nudity.
"Claimed..." Michael repeated quietly.
"It's already been done. What's more, he's even consenting to it, so I've done nothing wrong. Cast your accusatory glance elsewhere."
"If I find you have lied in any way," Blake replied, "I will not hesitate to kill you. However I am pressed for time and cannot further investigate for now." He looked down at Michael. "Michael, show me your ability."

Vinegar could 'hear' him still, since Vinegar's language was pure emotion, he knew exactly what Ethan wanted to say. He was scared, disgusted, confused, Vinegar felt the pain of his love getting so upset. The molting was indeed grotesque, but Vinegar was familiar with molting. In fact, he usually ate the creatures that molted in his planet. He felt hungry all of a sudden... But that could wait. Right now, Ethan needed comfort. It was so strange to see Ethan like this; he was so different than before. Vinegar slowly walked up to him, 'Eeethan...' Vinegar thought to him in Ethan's mind, 'Dooo not shy away. It is me and S.V. We still care about you a great deeeal, and it doesn't maaater your appearance...' Vinegar stopped far enough to where Ethan wouldn't feel threatened, but spread his arms wide for Ethan to be embraced if he so chose. 'For whaaat it's worth, you are still myyy beautiful... Eeethan...'
Blake looked right at Peter. "That's quite the talk to the one that praised your work when you feared no one would. I trust you won't test me again."
"Peter," Salcie muttered out the corner of his mouth, "Shut up." He felt his heart flutter when Peter defended him, but this was king Blake. The man rumored to murder with no joy or pain. Salcie was proud, but he knew he'd be powerless if Blake ever decided to kill him... Or Peter.
Blake seemed pleased, and turned his attention to Michael. "If you please."
Michael looked at Salcie and went to him. Salcie seemed to have noticed Michael for the first time. "Little brat, is that you? You're a lot bigger now. Like a young adult! How fast do you grow?"
Michael shrugged. "I don't remember," He said, taking Salcie's hand and closing his eyes.
"Hey, how dare-" Salcie began but before he knew it, the air in the room became crisp and sweet again, and from beneath them, flowers started to grow. Once they stopped, Michael's chest was glowing, and the flowers continued to stay alive.

'Weee should fix it then,' Vinegar replied to S.V. Then he nuzzled Ethan's forehead, putting one hand to his neck, stroking his cheek lightly. 'Eeethan, you need the device to speak, dooon't you? Whaaat do we need to fix it?'
Salcie smirked and lifted Peter's chin to look at his handiwork. "It almost looks like a collar around your neck. I like it~ It means you are bound to me."
Blake brought the flower up to Anasophia. "Look, look at this, Anasophia,"
Lance looked his way as well. He was surprised, he'd never seen Blake smile like that before. It was... Creepy.
"It's a flower~ Outside the greenhouse?" Anasophia mused.
"Michael has done it, he can help replenish my kingdom, Project Rebirth; he is the key to it! With him, there will be flowers again!"
"That's wonderful," Anasophia replied enthusiastically, surprised when, in his joy and relief, Blake picked her up and twirled her around once, laughing. "I've never seen you so happy before~" She mused, laughing back.
"I-..." Blake blinked, as if snapping out of a form of delusion. He cleared his throat. "Yes, well... It... Must have been the air in that room." He straightened himself, handing Anasophia the flower. "Hold onto this. I need to make preparations for Michael's protection until such a time comes where I'll need him."
Anasophia smiled gently, and bowed, "Yes, your highness."
Blake hesitated, then hurriedly left to speak to S.V. and Ethan.
Once he was gone, Lance leaned in to speak to Anasophia, eyes glued to where the king had disappeared. "That was terrifying."
Anasophia giggled, stroking the petals of the flower gently, a light blush on her cheeks. "I think he was more scared about it than you are. He's denied himself his emotions for such a long time..." She held the flower to her chest, "My king... It warms my heart to see you so happy."
