Master approached, an enormous core held firmly in his mandibles.
[Hey there, Crinis! Hope the consultation went well. Did the rock-heads have some good suggestions for you?]
Crinis writhed her tentacles happily as the giant ant approached and placed the core down in front of her.
[They did. Though I don’t think you should talk about them that way. I get the feeling they wouldn’t like it.]
[Bah. Granin gets mad no matter what I say to him. Ignoring them, I’m glad you were actually willing to correct me on my poor behaviour! That’s a step forward in your quest for independence!]
Held in a small ball with only a dozen or so limbs out, Crinis’ body froze in shock.
[Oh my goodness! I’m sorry!]
[And you addressed me without saying ‘Master’! Smashing out the milestones one after another now, Crinis!]
[AHHHHHH!]

[Look, if you don’t want to change, you don’t have to, I don’t really mind. Call me whatever you want. You’ve been a good and loyal friend to me for a long time now, you’ve earned at least that much.]
Her Master gave her a final poke with one leg.

an odd sensation around her core, but truly, she didn’t understand it. What she wanted? She wanted to serve her master, the one who had brought her into this life by using a core. It wasn’t any mystery, there wasn’t any doubt, not for Crinis, of how or why she’d come into this world. She was a pet, and she felt that bond to her Master deeply. Unlike what he appeared to expect, she
