“My father desired to be a parent to me. He is a man of the forest, and taught my family many useful survival skills that were unknown to us.

Unlike you he is an ideal mate for my kind.”

Despite her lack of emotion he still felt insulted at the comparison, and now he was pretty sure why. He'd been looked down on all his life, he'd be damned if he was going to take more now that he was away from

Jiro.

“If he's so wonderful then why not go and make him your mate?!

Isn't it true you monsters don't care about incest?!"

Unsurprisingly her expression showed no offense.

“That is true, but even so, incest is rare among most monsters," she stated plainly.

“However, even if I desired my father, which I do not, he Lives with my mother far from here. If I abandon my territory for long I will lose it, but I must pass on my genes. You can allow me to do that."

He glowered and snapped at her again. "You're asking me to give up my freedom for you!"

She folded her arms and sat down.

“Freedom is a relative thing. We are all slaves to the needs of our bodies: food, water, shelter. If it is freedom from oppression you desire then I can provide that. You may move freely through my territory and do as you wish. ALL I ask of you is your sperm."

Carter rolled his eyes but sat down in front of her, feeling emotionally drained.

“Yeah, unless someone better comes along right?"

“If it helps, someone more suitable coming here is unlikely. If by chance one does, I am willing to still let you stay in my territory, so long as you don't take too many resources.”

He sighed yet again.

“Even if I did agree, you're not telling me everything. It's not like it will be one time, if that text is as accurate as its turning out to be then you'll make me satisfy your lust time and again just Like any other monster.”

“Indeed, that is what will happen, though I find it difficult to imagine. Even so, it would be far from an oppressive life. I am offering you food, shelter, even the pleasure you men crave so much."

“It's not all we think about!" he yelled back. Indeed it could be said living as a slave and being exposed to the underground prostitution industry had given him a rather negative view toward sex in general, even stunting his own development of sexual desire. It had actually concerned him a bit, but no sense in thinking about that now...

"This is growing tiresome," she stated, though she still betrayed no annoyance.
