Draiss glanced up from his experiment, a basic taint on an insect, which he had started, to see if he could duplicate the Insect Queen that Verdelet had working for her.

He glanced up, before putting more energy into the experiment, gambling that it would become sentient before he burned it out with so much energy, and nodded to his werewolf lover, a smile slowly growing as he spoke. "Almost like you were aware of something happening to someone else? Like they were sending you energy, and asking for something? Like you were a goddess?"
