[Aak lets out a sigh of relief while his hands get back to the more clinical job of making sure any of the released particles stay isolated within the bottle. The hand that was fingering the roots pulls back, reaching for a cap in his pocket, and he uses the cap to try and seal as he pulls away.]

... Yeesh, if all my dates are gonna be this rough I should get gloves... [he shakes his loose hand]

Maybe a vibe or something... [The bottle is closed, and he blows a breath to try and make sure any free-floating particles go away from him.]

And don't you, [he does seem to be addressing the plant] complain about it. Nothin' wrong with technology! Unless you're a sadist who wants me to get carpal tunnel.

Practicing your technique would also have merits.

[ Kleken adds helpfully, or unhelpfully. Depending on the standpoint. ]

[ His tentacles make a small effort to keep stray pollen away but otherwise begin to settle back into their lazy drapings now that the entertainment has mostly finished. ]

I'm certain that with practice you could halve your total working time.

[ He's being super unhelpful. ]

[Aak swings his head back and gives a sour look for a second. The profound lack of helpfulness is noted, processed, and then released. He doesn't feel comfortable enough to be as much of a brat as he would with someone he knows, so the dismissive look gets replaced with a more neutral tone.]

You think? I'll have to put in the time.

[Yeah right, he thinks to himself. From there he turns up the volume on his business smile.]

Thanks for your help, Ah Sir! Rest assured this pollen will be used for the betterment of medicine everywhere~

[That one could be true. Plenty of things led to the betterment of medicine. This one probably would, eventually, once he played around with it enough.]

Sorry for the delay, medical RL things came up but all's good.

[ It's not difficult to catch that Aak is making his move to slip away from Kleken and his warily previously-desired attention, especially now that he's gotten the treat he was after. And far be it from Kleken to run an encounter past its entertainment value. ]

[ That sour look he gets for the briefest of moments is intriguing, hinting at a spice that the tentacled man rather enjoys interacting with, and though he may be willing to let Aak go for now, one of those many tentacles is taking notes to bother the other more in the future. ]

Oh, I'm very reassured now. I look forward to seeing much more from you, in fact.

[ Run, Aak, while you have the chance. ]
