"Dang it, it is just my lucky that your cloning machine would be broken, and I don't know anyone who is good at fixing those. Oh well, looks like I'm stuck with paying." He smiled at her, and noticed she had blue eyes. He was use to seeing his own yellowish eyes that someitmes he forgot their were other colors for eyes. It was funny how dead to the world he could be at times. He took a deep breath. And the she ripped it off early. And that one hurt much more. He let out a whine in surprise, then cut it off.
Itzal hel still like she said, the stinging in his inner ear still present, while she went to clean it. He wrinkled his nose at the smell of the solution. It was very strong and it filled his nostrils. He was not very fond of it, but sat still obiedently. Then she told him to pick out a stud. He figured he should look for something he would like. He rummaged through the bag, looking for a stud he favored. He heard the shift in her voice from teasing and joking, to the voice she had been using to explain the process to him, to a motherly voice. It made him pause for a moment and think of hearing his mothers voice. He remembered it clearly, thought he had left all emotions for her behind. He loved her true, but she was dead and gone from his life, she had died to save him, so he would not waste the life she gave in mourning her and feeling self-pity.
As he rummaged through the bag some more, looking at the studs and shapes of them, he found one that peeked his curoursity. It was black and white on either sides, with a silver dot in the middle. He liked that one. So he picked it out of the bag and waited for her to finish the actual piercing.
