"Are you okay?"
Atlan spoke to the Venunum, but it didn't react to anything he said. It continued to squirm like normal.
Looks like I can't talk to it.
He thought that he'd be able to communicate with the Canzer, but it seemed like his mutation was only limited to understanding their language for now. Unless he'd suddenly grow mandibles and mimic the squeaky sounds that the Venunum made, then they wouldn't understand anything he said.
"So? Do you want a hit or not?"
The guy offered him a new Venunum, but Atlan shook his head and refused. He didn't want to waste his SoulTime. Even though he was regenerating SoulTime by the second, he opted to save those instead because he knew that the Angels wouldn't be there to save him when it nears zero.
