[michime]

The mantis continued to try and 'fix' the alien until there was another crack pop sound.  He stopped, took his hand away, and just tilted his head back and forth.  Maybe the womb needed nutrients?  Yes that had to be it.  The alien would stop making the strange sounds, the gold fluid would not leaking for his eyes if he had some nourishment.  He held the alien back by the arms and popped open his mandibles.  His tongue uncurled slowly as a glob of golden 'honey' steadily grew on the tip.

"This will help," the words came from all around as the mantis forced his tongue into Khell's mouth and down his throat.
