Ah... Much better. The wound is still on my back and I don't know how long it will take to heal but the medicine and bandages are doing an excellent job of keeping me in one piece. I'm not taking any damage and my appetite is back although this flower tastes less like melon than the last.

That's it! The last flower tasted faintly like honeydew. This one tastes more like... Cantaloupe? Still tasty, personal preference aside. That voice doesn't seem to care either way.

I freeze, grip tightening on my sunshade and partially eaten petal hanging out of my mouth as I feel them move my new enclosure. Hopefully into the shade. I keep munching. They want me to work, they better take better care of me! Hopefully I managed to teach that brat a lesson. Let's see him poke me now!

Hm? How strange. I've eaten more than three of these but they're not filling me up as much. The voice is completely unfazed by my being hidden in the dirt. Wasn't I going to take a nap?

Maybe I'll finish this meal first, empty my guts, then be ready for a good long sleep. I wiggle around, stretching, still without pain, and wait. There's no message about me losing karma. I'm not full yet but maybe my injury is treated well enough to heal properly?

Okay, now I'm getting full. One more for the road. Oh. Nevermind, they've set me down somewhere. I don't let go of the flower as someone I can't see grabs it and tries to take it away. I snatch one more bite before relinquishing my hold, finishing the petal then covering my face. I'm mildly disturbed by the fact that having dirt covering my face isn't upsetting, but such is a grub's lot, I suppose.
I'm full but I don't feel like making thread right now. I sigh, not feeling up to a nap either. Don't want to scream. What to do?
Besides recoil when someone clears the dirt away from my face! Get your filthy hands away from my face! I try to cover up again, hiding in the dirt and they dust away the dirt again. Gah! I bury myself and they dig me back out before offering another blue flower petal. I'm not really hungry, and I probably shouldn't, don't want to get fat and all. No. Wait. I'm not human anymore. Don't I need to eat to put on weight before I molt or whatever it was?

I graciously accept the petal. My little hands grasping the petal and I slowly eat it. And what do you know! At the end of my feet I really do have teeny tiny little digits! They'd be cute if they weren't covered in very tiny barbs. Guess that explains my strong grip. Such is life.

I finish the petal and start grooming myself. Hmm. It's much easier to move suddenly. Or am I just more awake? It would be nice if I was capable of adapting to such a bizarre lifestyle change in such a calm manner but I'm not sure if I'm getting used to it or if it just hasn't fully registered. Either way it's nice to know that I don't scour the flesh off of myself when I clean but these barbs are very good at getting loose any debris and oil. Ha! Eating a meal then licking my fingers clean. How vulgar.
Oh? Why not? I accept the new offering, amazed that this flower is so much lighter on the stomach than the other. Or did I just stretch my stomach that much after one meal? I wonder what's going to happen to the rest of the flowers. I haven't even begun to make a dent in eating all the petals, but I have thrown off the symmetry by eating the large petals on the edges first.

Oh? No more room in the tank. All kids out of the pool! I squirm, poking just the very end of my tuckus out of the soil and lightly burying my face. I don't need to see this. Out comes the thread. There's a pull? I peek out to see that they were already prepared with another collection stick and they're expertly winding my silk on it. Bah!

I try to nod off but it's too awkward with my back end pushed up towards the heavens. I peek out again and try to see where I am now as they continue collecting my expulsions. I'm in a room. There's no open windows or arches. Just one window with a shutter on it. There's a desk with a lamp and some papers, books, and rolled up documents all neatly organized in a small cubby. There's a bed with one thick looking pillow on what I would consider a standard wooden frame, a rack with clothes hanging on it, and a tank with something that looks like a giant centipede.

Do what now? The calm announcement that I'd managed to tune out startles me out of my fear induced staring contest. I look around in confusion, a girl I'd never seen putting what I assume is my last spool of silk into a small lacquered wooden box. I barely manage to catch the light blue with a shimmering silver sheen that is my Sky Silk before she closes the box and leaves, taking the box with her.
Who was that? Where's the brat? Where'd everyone go? More importantly are they really going to leave me in a room alone with that monster with nothing between us but a thin pane of glass? Apparently I really had nodded off and now I'm trapped with a monster! I squeal nervously and quickly bury myself, knowing that it won't keep me safe but this is the closest thing I've got to a blanket and one does not peek out from under the blanket if one does not want monsters to get them.
