Jade, after donning a pair of thick black gloves, cautiously picked up the cube. "You're also cold to the touch overall," she observed, a hint of curiosity lacing her words. "I wonder if your cold touch is due to your attributes in your normal form, hmm."
She then posed a question to the cube, her tone indicating both her scientific curiosity and her respect for the creature's autonomy. "Do you mind if I stick you with a syringe?
I want to run some blood samples and do a bit more testing on your DNA samples if that's okay."
The cube, unfamiliar with the concept, inquired, "What is a syringe?"
Jade, seizing the opportunity for a teachable moment, offered a simplified explanation tailored to the cube's understanding.
"A syringe is a small tool used by scientists and doctors to collect a little bit of fluid from living beings. It helps us understand more about them--like how they're made up and how they function.
