Theo could feel every emotion the ant queen was experiencing.
It wavered between the prosperity of its colony, the comfort of stability over constant movement, and also the potential benefits of going with Theo.
Understanding its thoughts, Theo couldn't help but want to praise the ant queen for thinking all this.
After a minute, the ant queen came to a conclusion. Theo nodded, as if he had already known what its answer was going to be.
"Before I return, I want you to start hunting down slimes, but not the newer kind," Theo said.
The ant queen responded with emotions of agreement, though a trace of concern also lingered in them.
"I know you will progress much faster if you stay in one place instead of constantly moving. You don't need to evolve right now, but work to the fullest with what you already have."
The ant queen nodded.
"Alright, I will leave you to it now," Theo said and stepped out of the hive.
