Dimatri seemed to think on it. 'I do not know about iron content but we have fatty food available. May I ask what this cycle you speak of is?'
'It is my breeding cycle. Thanks to my implants my cycles are less frequent. However if my math is right, hard to be certain here on the ship, then the bleeding part of my cycle will start soon.'
'Bleeding? Why would you bleed?'
'Males do not tend to want the details into such things,' I told him.
'We are in charge of your care. Anything that will affect that while you are on this ship or the capital station we care about and need to know.'
'How long until we reach the station?' I asked.
'Two more cycles.'
'Then it will not matter. Depending on how long negotiations take, I will be back on Earth before it becomes a problem.'
'Tell me anyway. It could be a problem. Not to mention you said bleeding. Blood is a sign of pain.'
