The Test Subject (Yautja)

Part 10 "Cooking Hazards"

Di'seh watched Lydia walk up and down the so called kitchen his head always turned left or right when ever she was on his left or right. Lydia walked past Di'seh for the 7th time she didn't pay much attention to him because she was too busy cooking for an early dinner "Di'seh:Remind me again uhh what your doing?" "Lydia:Cooking."

Di'seh turned his head to the left, his eyes following Lydia go around the kitchen. Di'seh clicked in curiosity watching her stir in a pot it was familiar to him, it reminded him of his mother because she did things similar to what Lydia is doing. Lydia kept looking at Di'seh every now and then, it looked kinda funny watching him being so curious about everything.

Di'seh took a deep sniff of air he smelt something he has not smelt at all it smelt amazing he closed his eyes and followed the scent. Lydia stopped and put the pot down she wiped her forehead with her hand and sighed then put her hand down feeling relieved that the food is done she just needed to take the meat out the half broken oven it didn't have an oven door.

Lydia turned right to head to the oven but she saw something she was not exactly expecting she raised an eye brow looked at Di'seh. Di'seh followed the scent and it ended at the hot box shaped heater, Di'seh opened his eyes and looked at the meat on a tray in the oven it smelt cooked but he was not so sure since he doesn't eat cooked meat. Di'seh reached inside but he pulled his hand out feeling the heat was too much and it could burn his skin badly "Di'seh:Smells intoxicating and it burns."

Lydia shook her head slightly then went to the oven "Lydia:Intoxicating you say jeez then I should make something more potent to put you to sleep" Di'seh looked at Lydia with narrowed eyes then moved away from the oven. Lydia smiled at Di'seh then turned her attention to the oven, she already had the oven gloves on so she could hold the hot tray. Di'seh watched as Lydia pulled out the tray with the meat, Di'seh took a sniff of the meat when it passed his face and made a satisfied short purr because of the intoxicating smell it has.

Lydia was having trouble holding the tray with her bruised wrist, Lydia grunted in pain to a point where is felt like the bone was going to snap so she quickly moved her hand away from under the tray. Di'seh quickly put his hand under the hot trays side to keep it from falling over, his hand burned on the hot surface of the tray making a sizzling sound. Di'seh growled loudly at the pain his hand was feeling "Lydia:Di'seh!" Lydia quickly replaced her hand under Di'sehs hand so his hand didn't burn anymore. Di'seh put his hand above Lydias to help balance the tray, the glove provided enough protection for Di'sehs hand to not burn.

Di'seh could feel Lydias small hand in the glove it was so small compared to his hand. Lydia quickly put the tray down onto of the counter, she took the gloves off and turned around to look at Di'seh with concern and worry. Di'seh removed his hand from the tray with Lydia and inspected his hand the once white palm turned to a burnt colour and green blood left his finger tip that had a tiny cut on it.

Lydia quickly used her hands to gently grab Di'sehs burnt hand "Di'seh:Lydia it's just a burn." "Lydia:Ye right it's just a burn... Your bleeding aswell" Lydia inspected Di'sehs burnt hand she gently touched it and heard Di'seh hiss so she removed her head from thel. Di'seh had an urge to pull his hand away but he didn't. "Lydia:Come with me let me help you heal your burnt hand"

Di'seh followed Lydia because he had no choice, she held his wrist with the burnt hand and dragged him around. Di'seh was starting to feel a little irritated being pulled around by Lydia seeing she is so small and a lot more fragile compared to him. Lydia gestured Di'seh to sit down and noticed that he complied.

Di'seh watched as Lydia was looking around a resting room or as she calls it a bed room, she was looking for something to heal his burns on his hand. Di'seh watched Lydia come back to him holding a long fabric known as a bandage some puffy fabric known as cotton wool and a bottle or some acidic liquid. "Di'seh:Lydia there is no need for this honestly I'm fine." Lydia narrowed her eyes at Di'seh "Lydia:And I'm telling you that I'm doing this because I actually care surprisingly so keep quiet and let me help you" Di'seh moved his hand away from Lydias grasp when she tried to grab it.

Lydia gasped then looked at Di'sehs face with anger fuming all over her face, she pouted at him. Di'seh grinned at Lydias attempt to take his injured hand to treat it "Lydia: Di'seh give me your hand..." Di'seh made a playful growl at Lydia when she attempted to grab his hand "Di'seh:I won't give you my hand."

Lydia was not in the mood for games she had quite the fill of it, she has an injured wrist to prove it. "Lydia:Remember what happened last time you wanted to be playful Di'seh..." Di'seh made a sad yet concerning purr after she said that and he slowly lowered his hand then brought it closer to her, he had a sad expression on his face when looked at her face "Di'seh:Forgive me Lydia. I am behaving a lot different and I'm still trying to understand it and controll it."

Lydia felt bad for Di'seh, she gently took his hand and applied the liquid on the cotten then put it on his skin. Di'seh felt the cotton burn his skin but it was more of a sting then a burn. Lydia heard Di'seh growl at the pain "Lydia:Sorry Di'seh" Di'seh ignored the pain and tilted his head to the side and looked at Lydia "Di'seh:sorry for what?"

Lydia finished up with the bandaged around his hand with a sigh and she looked up at him into his eyes "Lydia:For everything that has happened to you I can't imagine being a test subject like you are it's just sad really... I wish you weren't in here." Di'seh brought his face closer to Lydias and looked deeply into her eyes then made a chuckle "Di'seh:Well if I wasn't in here then I wouldn't have met someone like you." Lydia made a slight chuckle at Di'seh "Lydia: I sapose so. Heh"

Lydia left the room to go back to the food before it gets too cold, leaving Di'seh in the room with the huge bed. Di'seh inspected his hand covered in a bandage he liked the feeling of the bandage around his hand he used his other hand to cup his bandaged one and he purred at the feeling.

Lydia made it to the kitchen she quickly got out a plate a put potato salid, grilled toast and some chicken meat onto her plate she left the rest for Di'seh if he was going to eat. Di'seh came out the room and smelt the food and he heard clinging meaning Lydia is already eating. Di'seh passed the food not wanting to eat since he can only eat raw meat, he sat down on the opposite couch to Lydia wanting to catch some sleep. Lydia watched as Di'seh passed the food and her, heading straight to the other couch and layed down falling asleep, she smiled then continued to eat she also wondered what would happen tomorrow maybe she could learn more about Di'sehs kind if he is willing to share that information with her.
