Fly Away

"You want to come with me back to the other planet?" Ning asked the slime. 

The slime was clearly contemplating its words as its face was scrunched up in thoughts and didn't even look towards Ning at all.

When it was finally done thinking, it looked around the field towards the many beasts that were working, as per its orders.

"The beasts have treated me well. Great even. I love them very much and do care for them a lot. However, they don't give me what I want. Intelligent conversations."

"They are intelligent in their own right, but their servitude towards me stops them from being overly familiar and speaking their minds around me, even if they were intelligent enough."

"As far as I know, the only beasts intelligent enough to properly converse are usually too high ranked and too pompous to try and talk with seemingly weaker beasts like me," the slime said.
