Vassenhilo clicked away at his computers. He noticed that Ruma was doing work. His mood improved. That was when he noticed the same message come through. His eyes rolled over the words, he tilted his head in surpise.

He clicked the the call button and it rang through until he was face to face with a green wrinkly skinned alien.

"Bvelpio, how has those acquitions doing for you?" he asked, pullin up a document to start writing down the infomation he got.

"I believe you saw my message. One out of the litter you sold me has perished. I was expecting a bit more reslienece from them, giving their heritage."

"I do apologize for you being unsatified with what happened, but the others are doing well yes?" Vassenhilo asked.

He nods, "Yes quiet they are all up to the standard that I expect." he stopped, "Are you expecting another litter soon? From mother or father?"

Vassenhilo thought about it, "From father no he was a free one, and I paid him for his genetics. Now for the mother, it has been sometime, I believe I might just as well do that. I have quite a large spread of selections I could get a very nice litter from her, that could be used in a varity of ways."

Bvelpio torted happily, "Let me know if you do. I would defiently like to get my talons on one to replace the one I lost."

"Of course."

Vassenhilo clicked the call button off. He picked up his pad and started to look through all the viable males that were in the compound. Adding in his guards to the selection.

He was needing some funds in; while he had a stead stream coming in from selling and trading infomation, as well as the excess stock. Nothing sold better that one of his prized pets offspring. Just one of them could sell for enough to keep his compound running for a complete sun cycle from this planet.

He placed the infomation over to the side, he couldn't be quick in his decision he had to be practical on that. Which reminded him, he needed to get another full specturm reading off of Ruma.

He stood and stretched out his tendril fingers. Then sent a message to his pets tower to summon her to his main lab.


~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ruma whimpered as she tossed the pad away from her. She had gotten Deon back to the room. She was on edge, feeling like the hairs on the back of her neck was stood up.

She paced her room snarling and shaking her head. Deon was curled up at the head of her bed watching her, with every pass she made, the more Deon's anxiety spiked getting a little higher every time.

It wasn't until he was already visably shaking, Ruma halted. Her headed whipped over, she sniffed and then hopped up on the bed to crawl near him. Ruma pawed at Deon, he quickly went back to his old habits of shoving her away.

"Deon" she repeated her sign for him, in front of him, trying to gain is attention without touching him this time.

He refused repeatedly for several minutes. Right as he started to relent and look towards her. A light flashed and a message pipped up summoning Ruma away.

She was torn- go away as she had been called to do, or stay with her male. She looked between the door and Deon, multiple times in only a few seconds.

Deon quickly moved away from her, "Go." almost as if he was angry with her for having to leave. Ruma stared at his back in confusion as he hadn't been like this in weeks. So the sudden change had her worried.

Though she eventually stood and left the room, heading towards the lab as she was called to do.
