Blwaxen - Profile

Soundly convinced that he was (sans moustache) in one, sound piece, he began to turn his attention to everyone else.

"That's not how we operate in this family, Protectant. Grant put herself in harm's way to keep me alive, and she died for it. Don't think, not for a single second, that I wouldn't do the same for any of you. This is the Colony. I'm not more important than any of my sisters, and I'll be damned before I run away and leave ten thousand of my siblings to die in my place.

"You're both weird," Anthony huffed. "Try and focus, Isaac. I want my family to come back safe. That includes you. Now get going."

However, a few enterprising ants decided to try and make some nice things for the Queens. Rings to go on their legs, or around their antennae. Wrappings woven with glittering thread to drape over their carapaces. Even necklaces and such. Oddly enough, some of it was even accepted. Mainly because the stuff is considered useless to the rest of the Colony, so the Queens don't feel selfish taking it.

Embarrassed, Sarah hung her head, her wet nose almost brushing the chamber floor.

In moments, the three of them are snoozing, Crinis on my carapace, Tiny leaned up against my side, and Invidia perched on one of my antennae.

The two of them appear extremely chuffed with my praise and race off full of beans, which is nice to see. I've always believed in the core shapers and I know they do more for the Colony than most suspect. This is really a great chance for them to shine and I'm sure they'll make the most of it.

I look again at the little guys, gleefully wibbling into whatever pile of foul, noxious slime they can find and soaking it up like a paper-towel, wuffing away the whole time.

"And it's a good idea," the Eldest approved, "if you don't get enough rest, if you don't take proper care of yourself, then your work gets sloppy and all the ants around have to pick up the slack. Extra work for everyone. When too many ants are working exhausted, the mistakes snowball and we end up right in the… plops, I suppose."

Eight hours later, she returned to the Sanctum. Three targets she had been given, and three she had delivered. Those scouts now rested in the cells, their blatant violation of the Eight put to rights. There was satisfaction in that knowledge, a quiet joy that warmed the nameless one from the inside. But overwhelming that sensation, was outrage.

She clings to my carapace and I swear I feel my organs constrict. Better not to think about it.

What does matter, is that you keep doing what you're doing. I've never met or seen a general who wasn't doing everything they possibly could to lead their siblings to the best of their ability. You can't be perfect, I don't expect it and you shouldn't either. Just do your best. We're all proud of you.
