"How are they doing?" Lauriam asked when he entered the lab.
Even looked up from the glass cage holding a blueish sentient worm on a string. He had settled a small paperback book in it and the worm was figuring out the best way to turn the pages.
"They each show similar personality to who they are created from." Even responded and joted something down on a clipboard.
"How curious." Lauriam hummed and walked before the cages. "Is number 4 sick?" He stopped before a golden worm who looked entirely miserable.
"I believe he's having trouble sleeping."
"Ahh, an easy fix." Lauriam smiled softly down at the worm.
"Please do not mess with my experiments." Even huffed but there was no bite. He made no move to stop Lauriam from wandering over to number 11's cage and opening it.
"You're observing their personalities." Lauriam responded as he gently scooped up the pink, fluffy worm. "You be good and help him sleep now."
The pink worm stayed pliant in his hand as he was carried past other worms to be set on top of the blond, chilly one. He promptly smooched his head and laid on top of him.
The blond worm accepted the warmth and fell right asleep.
"There, much better." Lauriam whispered as he closed the lid. "Now, with him taken care of, let's take care of you."
Even looked at him for a few seconds before he set his clipboard down. "You're probably right; I should sleep."
"You should."
