To Observe Soft Flesh - By AughtPunk
While waiting for her mate to return Adrian spends her days studying the various soft flesh creatures on Erid. It's her job, her passion, and is almost enough to fill the emptiness that's been lurking inside her for over forty years.
But during a normal day out in the field Erid government agents whisk her away to help solve a problem of theirs: A strange soft flesh being from another world that's missing an arm and clearly dying.
What starts as what can best be described as a 'mild kidnapping' turns into so much more as Adrian decides that studying this strange alien creature also means befriending it. Assuming it wants to be befriended.
Chapter Seven - In Which Adrian Learns a New Curse Word
Okay so like, my social battery is deep, deep in the negatives after three rather busy days so I spent today writing and not going outside in an attempt to recharge. I do feel slightly better now, and as a bonus I have the next chapter of To Observe Soft Flesh ready to go! There's a little bit of a time jump here, and I get to celebrate the fact that writing descriptions will be way, way easier from here on out.
