"The amount you gave us could last a few days, but… We rushed in trying to take in the energy due to the urgency of the situation and used our mouths…." Yili answered. In other words, she was saying if they took it with their lower half, they could slowly consume energy. "Right now, we only have a few hours worth due to consuming it with our mouths. But without trees, we will never last more than a week, even with seed from another race. This is how we get our other nutrients."
"I see…." Blake finally understood. The mouth was not the best storage container. There was probably no one in the base who could produce as much as he could in a short time. He figured he could have them be concubines, but he would need to talk to Lillia. Or just find them some trees. Thinking of this, he asked: "What if I uprooted these trees? They will last for a while, so you will not need to move. And we can just replant them."
