—Third—
I am being assaulted by the cutest, most precious little creatures I have
ever beheld. There are twenty-three of them in all. All small and delicate
with wispy manes of shiny fur, delicate, shell-shaped ears, flat, harmless
teeth, and tiny little button noses. Their forms are charming too. They have
naked skin in varying warm tones from a luminous pink to a rich smooth
brown. Even their sex is obvious. Sexual characteristics that are always
hidden and protected in other species are vulnerable and obvious in this
one. I could see from across the room which ones are male because their
genitalia just hang out in the open.
I wonder what sort of environment they evolved in that they have no
natural defenses. Their vulnerability is charming, though. And the cutest
thing about them is their digits. Soft and nimble with flimsy, blunted claws
that do no damage at all as they seek to strike me and scratch me.
These “Urf Oomons” as Urshtech is calling them are fierce, brave little
creatures too. No matter that I am much larger than them, they fight me
with renewed determination every time I get within reach. I surely seem
like a predator to this prey species. With fangs, long, clawed digits, not to
mention my eight tentacle arms that I use to lift and subdue each wiggly
little beast in turn, I must intemidate them. I should think that they would
instinctually cower in fear then roll over in submission. But no, they are
gnawing on me with their flat harmless teeth and striking out at me with
diminutive, soft claws as I wrestle them one at a time into cryo-stasis pods.
I do not make a habit of dominating vulnerable prey-creatures. This is the
first encounter I have ever had with any of the “pets” Urshtech trades in.
When I arrived, I had only the intention of buying appliances. That is what I
had negotiated for, nothing else. And I knew that something was wrong as
soon as I exited my shuttlecraft to greet him.
He had an agitated, unhappy scent. And he was shedding. His fluffy blue
overcoat seemed to be falling off his form at an alarming rate and the tufts
of fur were floating all around, sticking to the floor and walls of the corridor
we moved through and, distressingly, his fur had coated the underside of
my tentacles as I moved along. The cups along the underside of my 8
tentacle arms were so stuck with fur that I am still saturated in Urshteck’s
scent.
Until today, I had always enjoyed Urshteck’s company. Every one of our
meetups has been pleasant and profitable. Unlike most other species I’ve
encountered as traders, my furry associate has never attempted to clasp
hands, or embrace my torso or penetrate me in any way. His reserved
manners are so very refreshing. The only action required to conclude a deal
being, when he taps his chest with a closed fist and bows, I return the
gesture. Easy. Pleasant.
