"No Novae? Novae… Uala?" Xe was having some trouble figuring out what exactly that word meant. It sounded like 'no'. Maybe it was a more formal version? He'd used it when getting on the table, but he… didn't want Uala to use it?
Scared! Maybe it meant scared. Novae was his word for scared. Yes. Good.
But then he did something with his fingers that made it sound like his tiny little bones were breaking, and Uala's tentacles all flared in alarm. «Don't do that!» xe said in a panic, reaching out to hold his hand still and put it back down. "Kenah, kenah, no novae." Xe patted his hand. «Yes, that's very dangerous, don't do that. I'm not trying to scare you, you don't have to do scary bone things.»
"Okay, Roan, okay," xe said, trying to soothe him. Lying around letting himself get poked with so many needles probably ran completely contrary to his every instinct. Or what Uala assumed his instincts to be.
Then he started to move, and Uala went immediately back to alarmed. "No, Roan! No, no – ah!" Xe was scared to touch him because xe didn't want to jostle the needles any more than he was already doing, didn't want to frighten him into moving less carefully. Moving with needles in him turned slender slips of metal that were practically harmless into real dangers, and that was the last thing xe wanted. Xe'd told him it was safe, after all. Xyr relief was palpable as he laid back down, checking the needles in his torso to be sure he hadn't torn anything, checking the display for torn muscles.
It had, at least, distracted xem completely from xyr embarrassment.
Xe blinked as he seemed to growl – but he didn't look like he'd growled. And some of his organs on the display had done something very strange. «Was that… your stomach? Your stomach did that? Even your stomach sounds violent! Oh, I hope I recorded that – wait, you got your legs out! That's what you were doing! Okay, yes, I'll just take care of that and we can be all done, quick as can be.» True to xyr word, she moved with speed to unwrap new needles, sliding one into each calf. Less detail was needed there, and high enough they were able to finish up the simulation of him. Though it did get a little fuzzy around the thighs, due to the density of the muscle.
Whatever. It was just more muscles. They knew what muscles looked like. It was the organs that were interesting.
Speaking of organs…
«Yes okay I'll just hit save here and then we're all done let's just get all these lower ones out first for no reason at all it's fine this is fine everything is fine and normal and professional.» As xe sang xyr stream-of-consciousness xe plucked the needles out of his legs, his hips, his lower torso. Xe squeaked in alarm as xe got higher; usually the needles were so small, the puncture wound wasn't even enough to cause bleeding. But the higher xe got, the more they had moved, and now little dots of red were appearing on his skin.
"Ah! Roan, Roan. Weh Uala, weh, weh. Sorry! Sorry Uala. Ah, Roan. Roan okay?" His brain didn't seem to be lighting up in horrible pain, but maybe that happened differently with him. As the last needle came out of his shoulder, xe grabbed a towel to rub the offending spots away, then stopped. «Wait. What am I doing? I can – no, I can use this, I can use some of this.» Xe set the towel aside, grabbed swabs instead to gather up those little spots of metallic blood. Totally testable! Much more precise that remote analyzation. Maybe xe'd even get a look at his genetic code. Wouldn't that be fun! "Okay! Okay." Swabs carefully placed into sterile tubes, xe resumed what xe'd been doing, dabbing gently at him to get the rest of it.
«This is so contrary to procedure,» xe admitted. «You're a walking biohazard! If you have transmittable diseases I'll… well, that might be an interesting legacy, actually…»
