The Drama Queen becomes an Empress

Kink came in closer to take a look at Canna's features. She was crying and her eyes were red from the rubbing. He held her cheek softly and tilted her head up.

Honey coughed gently, Kink's other hand was resting on her breasts.

He realized the error and pulled his hand away, he moved it to Canna's shoulder, "Your name is Canna?"

Canna nodded, her tears were drying away but her aura was still giving the occasional push away from her.

"You're alright. You're not alone. Honey's here too. My name is Kink, I own this place." Kink felt like he was pissing to mark his territory and quickly changed his tone, "Why don't you come sit down with us and have something to drink."

Kink flipped through his storage and found a gourd of fresh spring wine that had been saved for some time and poured three glasses.

The rosy smell of the wine made the Queen pause, Canna's nose twitched and she licked at the wine before tasting it fully.

Kink wanted to laugh but it was hardly the time, he still had things to do but Lisetya was free to do whatever. When it was time for him to leave, he could always have her come in his stead.

Thinking it over, a vivid imagining of what would happen played in Kink's head. He imagined Lisetya drowning Canna and consuming Honey like a treat then gulped. A bead of sweat ran down the side of his head and he felt strange but tried to reaffirm himself, 'It'll be okay.'

The wine went down smoothly and Kink took the opportunity to take them both outside. Once outside of the battleship, they sat across the deck.

Titan had left his truck on the runway and they sat on the tailgate.

"So." Kink chose to break the ice, he scooched closer to Canna. "So, you can control hives? As in multiple?"

"Must you always think of work?" Honey pushed on kink's shoulder lightly and kicked her feet.

"Umm. .. yea, that's kinda what I do." Kink owned her commentary like a boss and in fact, in a way, he was her boss. He turned toward Canna once again, "I don't want to pry if you're uncomfortable but anyone and everything in this dimensional space should cooperate with me or I would have them somewhere else. There is too much at stake to allow this to become a habitat for craziness, not to say you're crazy, we've only just met. I only ask because I want to know."

"Why?" Canna finished the glass of wine and set it down. She understood the tone that Kink was speaking to her in, he was asking for something but it was closer to a demand. Her interactions with humanoids had been almost nil, still, she didn't like his tone.

"Because if you can control the bees from all the colonies, that can be your job and you can stay here. As long as you don't cause problems." Kink made sure to add the last bit and smiled. He was sure that there was little room for her to wriggle around in and that one way or another, the new hottie that had appeared would work for him.

Honey saw the grin on Kink's face from the side, the mask was able to hide much of his expressions but from a certain angle, she could see a lot more than expected. It reminded her of the way Titan looked at Vella, with avarice. She got up and ran her finger along Kink's shoulders, "I don't think Lisetya would agree with your.. cough cough, proposal."

Kink's grin vanished, he let go of Canna and pinned Honey to the wall. "I've always wanted to eat you too, you know.."

She kneed him in the balls and ducked out of the way. "Maybe you have.. but Vella told me to do this when you try." Honey spun out of the way and stood between Canna and Kink.

"There's no need to be rude." Kink winced slightly at his throbbing nuts and stood up straight.

'Hmmph.' Honey scoffed and turned to Canna with her butt sticking out in front of Kink like she was daring him to touch it. "Canna. I don't like the way he said it either but I think he's right, when you calmed down, all the hives also calmed down. Maybe you can control all the other Queens, like a Monarch!"

"Monarch's are butterflies." Kink tried to interject but he also didn't care too much. Canna was an evolved bee, one of his bees. If he could have her continue to work for him after her advancement, that would be for the best. Thinking along that line, he said, "Empress." and knelt before her.

"Empress..?" Canna blinked hard.

It was difficult for Kink to keep a straight face behind the mask but the mask did a good job of hiding his expressions.

Honey was at a loss for words, she had a blank stare and waited for something to happen. A true and formal drama, one like Titan had described was unfolding right in front of her. Hey eyes bulged like she couldn't believe what she was witnessing.

Despite her warning, Kink had knelt down and was sweet talking the Queen, he had even taken to calling her Empress as a token of favor.

'OMG OMG OMG!' Honey danced around in her mind and refused to blink.

Kink waited patiently and Canna was still in pause. He dared not move and spoil the moon, no matter how awkward or tense the situation, it would be much worse if he withdrew.

"Empress.." The word came out of Canna once again and her smile reappeared on her face. She had a turnabout like a a manic and it gave her a courageous outlook. She nodded again and stood up. "Sweets!"

"Yes, my lady." Kink stood up slowly and fiddled with his ring. He had the best of chefs in Puerto De Paulo cooking up all of his ingredients, if he ever had a craving they would make loads of whatever he pleased. A sweet cake arrived on a platter and kink presented it to Canna with a flashy motion.

'OMG!' Honey shirked and twisted in her seat.

Kink waited patiently while Canna ate off the plate with her bare hands. He found her table manners to be lacking but decorum was the least of his concern, he was keeping up the act and all for the better.

As time went on and more of the dessert was cleared away, Canna became restless and wanted to walk around.

Kink put the dishes away and made the decision to take Canna along with him when he was leaving. When he came back into the room, Honey was whispering in Canna's ear like she had been scheming. 'damn, that's cold..'

A buzz from a communication tablet erupted from Kink's pocket. Wh en he checked the message, it was Lisetya texting him. 'Wow, the Universe is working against me.'

He put the communication tablet away and turned his attentions back toward the girls. "If it's okay with you, Empress, I would like to return and speak with you again. The Colonies in the Garden Dimension need an overlord and it seems the heavens have sent them a rightful ruler. Please watch over them as if they were your own."

'Haha, Beat that..' Kink felt like he had won the round, he pulled out cart with sweets and left it in the room as a present and disappeared from sight.

'That...' Honey wanted to curse at Kink for his sneakiness. In the end, he had left Canna with twinkling eyes and full of hope but Canna would still be on her own with so much to oversee.

"Sister Canna, if you need anything, you know how to find me. Don't be scared, you're probably one of the most powerful beings in here. Most of them don't push the Kink to such an extent." Honey hugged herself for some strange reason but her words still didn't seem to penetrate 'Empress Canna's' swirling mind.

Honey turned to leave and was just about to make her way out of the doorway when Canna called out to her, "Stop!"

"What?" Honey was curious about why she had been stopped so she asked.

"Just wanted to see if it worked." Empress Canna crossed her legs and leaned against the wall. It was slipperier than she imagined and her lean went a little too hard, she fell over on the bench like an idiot.

Honey burst out laughing.

Canna tried to stop herself but she ended up laughing as well.

When they both stopped laughing, Honey said her goodbyes, handed a formation plate to Canna and went back to working the Garden.

"What's this for? Canna asked while Honey was stepping through the doorway.

"So you don't break any more formations.. think of it like a Royal Pass, it lets you get in and out of the formations." Honey tried explaining things but the nuances of her words didn't seem to translate. She tried again, "As long as you take the formation plate with you while you moved around, you won't cause any disturbances."

Canna finally understood to some degree and shook her head in agreement. She stayed behind for a while and ate what was left on the Cart in one sitting before heading out. She wanted to visit the many areas within the Garden and that would take a considerable amount of time.
