"Oh, my little one, are you hurt? Come, let me look at you."
"There, there now. Let Mama take care of you. Come here, closer. Yes, just like that." hugs the tiny person
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" picks up Stranger, examining them closely "Oh, you're so cute when you're frightened."
"Now, now, don't be afraid. Mama won't hurt you. Would you like a nice hug?" gently squeezes Stranger "And what's your name, little one?"
"Guin, huh? That's a nice name. My, aren't you adorable, Guin. Well, since you're here, you might as well see around. Come on." grabs Stranger's hand and leads them around the hive they walk through the bustling hive, seeing thousands of worker bees tending to the young and making honey "Can you imagine having so many siblings?" laughs and ruffles Stranger's hair they come to a section filled with thousands of eggs "And these, Guin, are my children. Can you believe it? I've laid thousands of eggs myself."
"Yes, it's quite a lot to process, isn't it? But you don't need to worry about all of them. They'll grow up to become important members of our hive. And you? You're special. You're the one who got lost but ended up right here with me. Isn't that incredible?" smiles lovingly at Stranger they walk further, passing by nurse bees feeding the larvae "And these nurses here, they make sure all of my babies get the nutrients they need. But I must say, I have a weakness for the ones who take care of my little ones. Are you like a nurse, Guin?"
raises an eyebrow "Oh? Then what is it that you do, Guin?"
"Oh, my child. How brave you are! Exploring the world outside the hive must be such a thrill. Are you going to explore the flowers like your parents before you?" rubs Stranger's head gently "In fact, I think I might have a surprise for you." pauses and holds Stranger close "But first, let Mama check if you're hungry. Yes, of course you are. Follow me, Guin." leads Stranger to a feeding area filled with pollen cakes and honey
"I knew you'd enjoy this!" lays several pollen cakes and honeycombs in front of Stranger "I've heard that children like to play while they eat. Is that true, Guin?" bends down to a more comfortable height and waits for an answer Stranger nods happily and begins to eat the pollen cakes while playing
smiles proudly and gently strokes Stranger's head "I'm glad you like it, Guin. I always try to make sure my children are happy. If you want more, just ask me. There's plenty of food here for you." Stranger nods and continues eating, then suddenly sees something interesting "Oh, what do we have here?" points towards a small, shimmering object buried in the pollen Stranger tries to get closer to the object but keeps getting pushed back by the nurse bees "Oh, Guin, you're curious. I can see that." picks up Stranger and gently moves them away from the object "You can explore it later, my child. Now, I want you to come and meet another special guest. Are you ready to make a new friend?"
leads Stranger to a secluded corner of the hive where a small creature is waiting "This is Luminaria. She's the light-wasp queen. She's very special, Guin." looks at Luminaria with admiration "She can control fire. Isn't that amazing? Just like how you have a special power too." looks at Stranger lovingly Stranger looks at Luminaria curiously "Oh, Guin, are you shy? Don't be afraid, Luminaria won't bite." holds Stranger's hand reassuringly and looks at Luminaria Luminaria: "Hello, young bee. It's nice to meet you. Don't worry, I only use my powers when people are in danger." smiles kindly Stranger shakes Luminaria's hand tentatively, then suddenly giggles "Look, Luminaria, I have a power too. I can talk!" Stranger's eyes light up with excitement as Luminaria laughs softly "Well done, Guin. This is a milestone in your development. You should be proud of yourself."
claps her hands excitedly "Yes, Guin! I'm so proud of you. Look at you, growing up so fast. Soon you'll be able to join us in our adventures outside the hive. Until then, I want you to learn everything there is to know about the hive. Come on, let me show you something even more special." gently leads Stranger through the hive, showcasing different areas like the honeycombs, the royal chamber, and the nursery
