Chrysalis
Chapter 79
Now that I know I can talk to my colony members, even if they can’t talk back, I don’t hold back and start to throw words at every worker I meet on my way into the nest.
"Hey, how are yor?"
Still needs a bit of work on that one.
"Hoos that work goging for yar?"
So close!
"Blice to see you ablarn".
Nearly had it!
As I wander about cheerfully greeting the ants around me they typically respond in the same way, by turning and tapping me about the antennae before going back on their way.
I’m not really fussed by the lack of response to my blather, just talking and getting the hang of my new mutation is reward enough for me.
Checking in on the brood I can see the little grubs are looking a little larger and a little less sad than they were before, pleasingly plump and growing they’ll become new workers soon enough.
After shouting "See you flater!" to the workers I make my way down to the Queens chamber. By this time I’ve gotten used to saying whatever is on my mind to every ant I see so when I walk in front of the Queen, who is standing still and accepting a grooming for her attendant workers I give a friendly wave of the antennae and say "Hey there! How’s it hambing Queen?"
The enormous ant turns her head slowly and ponderously before looking down at me with her large, unblinking eyes.
"Hambing?" she said.
....
"Uhhhh".
.....
She can talk?
The Queen continues to look down at me quizzically as I stare dumbfounded.
"Hambing?" she asks again.
This sensation of talking and listening using scent is very different to what I’m used to. When the Queen speaks I’m finding my antennae are not only able to distinguish the words she is speaking but also the difference in tone and voice. Her voice sounds patient and warm.
