The names HarvestGlitch or just Harvest for short, just an artistic rabbit that works on current hyperfixations, such as:
-Little Goody Two Shoes, specifically Elise & Rozenmarine
-Hollow Knight, specifically Styx & Hornet
There will be spoilers for both here
There are others, but these are the main two I post about. Specially Styx, cause Iâm currently role playing as him, cause I didnât feel like making a separate blog for him, which I can also say the same for mini Hornet/Nettle, which was honestly unintentional, but Iâm technically also her, so feel free to ask/interact with either me, Styx(and his forms), or Nettle if ya like.
THERE IS AND WILL BE SOME SEXUAL CONTENT (only with Styx & his forms) and if youâre uncomfortable with that, filter out #beast unleashed and #tw explicit
To better organize this mess of a blog, Iâll do my best to properly tag stuff to make it easier to find specific stuff.
#Weekly doodles - these arenât totally consistent, but you can expect them to be posted every 1-2 weeks, and theyâre just a collection of doodles I did for the week along with my random thoughts
#{ramblings of a hare} - basically text posts of my own thoughts or ideas
#~harvest time~ - answered asks
#~Bnuy hops~ - any interaction with me specifically
#{nettle} - basically mini/bugaboo Hornet that was originally made by creativecabybara, but I somehow ended up as her, sheâs lives in the exhaust organ with Phantom & Phanteeny
#~Styx and Stones~ - anything pertaining to the muckroach outside Styxâs room of which I have deemed stones
#River flooded - When Styx is majorly out of it, mostly due to his instincts being out of wack
#{masks of Styx} - basically how I interpreted Styxâs mask thing and made the masks their own beings such as;
#Styx{serves} -he/they, webspinner
#Pallas{to fear} - he/they, weaver ant
#Zelus{breeds} - they/them, raspy cricket
#Bia{hides} - she/they, bombyx mori moth(sky pupper)
#Nike{creates} - she/it/they, spider mite(kitby)
#Erebus{deceives} - its/they(will accept being referred to as male, tho not preferred), New Zealand glowworm/fungus gnat(also kitby)
#Nyx{collects} - he/it/they, illacme tobini
#{inbetweens} - Basically how the masks interact with each other without anyone else around
#[The Host] - Anything to do with the body of the masks, for they are separate
#[Masked Beast] - Anything to do with Styx(his masks) and pluralhornetâs Beast, itâs for Styxnet purposes
#[Mistress!] - any interaction with Hornet (aside from Beast)
#[Someone else?] - any interaction for the masks that isnât with Hornet specifically
Links to their designs;
Pallas, Zelus, Bia, Nike, Erebus, Nyx, The Host
Thereâs also my AUâs that I really need to work on
#LGTS x CoTL
#LGTS x Crime Scene Cleaner
#Silksong x Bloodborne or #BloodSong #SilkBorne
Thatâs pretty much it for now, more will be added later, see ya later buckets, nails, and friendly pails!

(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew. She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
Bia seemed surprised for a moment, if her antennae shooting up was anything to go by, though it wasnât long before she recovered from that. She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it
âStones! What do. You haveâŚâ
In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ
Bia simply sighed before responding while patting Beastâs head again (she really liked doing that)
âItâs fine. Couldnât ask you. To hunt more. Now can I?â
Sheâll deal with stones later, besides a roachâs gonna so what a roachâs gonna do. No matter how annoying or sometimes deadly it isâŚwhy did Styx keep this one again? Heâs always been afraid of these things yet chooses to keep one as a pet, she really doesnât get itâŚ
Though there is one way to bring up her moodâŚ
âOh right. That reminds me. Now that dinnerâs. Technically over. Donât you have. Something to tell me~â
Bia chuckled a bit, slightly musing about how she feels so far about the one before her. For one, she must say itâs quite a sight to behold, now she was never one for looks but even she had to admit it. She was also quite fun to tease and pet, didnât even have to ask before it accepted them, now thatâs something quite new for her. And finally she was quite the good hunter, a kind one at that, kindness was something Bia valued most for whom she associated herself withâŚhmmmmâŚ
âI suppose. I need to. Give you my. Answer. Letâs seeâŚhmmmmmâŚIâd say itâs not quite. Love yet. But itâs getting. Quite close to it. Keep at it. Love.â
She continued to pet Beast, before pulling it closer into her fur once more. She quite liked this one, but it shall take a bit more time before it turns into love, love for her is a process, it takes more than just a day or a week, no it takes longerâŚbut she knows this it wonât be too long, this one shall be staying awhile after all~
âIâm not one. Easily swayed. But I know. Youâll WYRM your way. Into my heart. Soon. HeheâŚbad pun. I knowâŚâ
âThank you. Also. Itâs fine. Can talk about. Them. I brought them up. After all. Letâs seeâŚâ
Bia thought for a moment about what to say before continuing
âZelus does. Have good jokes. Also tricks. Apparently they were. Something. Like a jester. At one point. Seems they still. Retain some stuff. From that time. Though I wouldnât know. Much about it. Wasnât made yet. Would have to ask. Anyone else. Aside from me. Or Pallas. About that time.â
âNo. Problem. You do deserve. To know. Who youâre. Going to be. Sharing a space. With after all. Which reminds me⌠So far. Youâve met four of us. Me. Styx. Pallas. And Nike. So three more to go. Now I. Donât expect youâll. Meet Erebus or Nyx. Soon. So Zelus. Will probably be. The next one you. Do meet. Interesting huh?â
She kept patting Beast as she slightly mused that itâll quite the interesting meet up, Zelus has been very vocal in theirâŚdistaste at not being able to be active yet and the one held in her embrace quite literally almost immediately told her that it loves her.
A shame she wonât get to see itâŚbut thatâs probably for the best considering Zelusâs whole thing is breeding so that interaction may devolve quick and turn into something she doesnât want to seeâŚ.Yeah sheâll just stay out of that.
Bia was now the one to give a long stare directed at Beast, before just slowly pushing Beast as deep into her fur as it can go so she doesnât have to deal with that right nowâŚ
Bia just simply laid downâŚwith Beast still in her fur and also under her instead of respondingâŚshe seems to have not appreciated hearing The Beastâs interestsâŚ
(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)

Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally.

She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it
âStones! What do. You haveâŚâ
In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ
Bia simply sighed before responding while patting Beastâs head again (she really liked doing that)
âItâs fine. Couldnât ask you. To hunt more. Now can I?â
Sheâll deal with stones later, besides a roachâs gonna so what a roachâs gonna do. No matter how annoying or sometimes deadly it isâŚwhy did Styx keep this one again? Heâs always been afraid of these things yet chooses to keep one as a pet, she really doesnât get itâŚ
Though there is one way to bring up her moodâŚ
âOh right. That reminds me. Now that dinnerâs. Technically over. Donât you have. Something to tell me~â
Bia chuckled a bit, slightly musing about how she feels so far about the one before her. For one, she must say itâs quite a sight to behold, now she was never one for looks but even she had to admit it. She was also quite fun to tease and pet, didnât even have to ask before it accepted them, now thatâs something quite new for her. And finally she was quite the good hunter, a kind one at that, kindness was something Bia valued most for whom she associated herself withâŚhmmmmâŚ
âI suppose. I need to. Give you my. Answer. Letâs seeâŚhmmmmmâŚIâd say itâs not quite. Love yet. But itâs getting. Quite close to it. Keep at it. Love.â
She continued to pet Beast, before pulling it closer into her fur once more. She quite liked this one, but it shall take a bit more time before it turns into love, love for her is a process, it takes more than just a day or a week, no it takes longerâŚbut she knows this it wonât be too long, this one shall be staying awhile after all~
âIâm not one. Easily swayed. But I know. Youâll WYRM your way. Into my heart. Soon. HeheâŚbad pun. I knowâŚâ
âThank you. Also. Itâs fine. Can talk about. Them. I brought them up. After all. Letâs seeâŚâ
Bia thought for a moment about what to say before continuing
âZelus does. Have good jokes. Also tricks. Apparently they were. Something. Like a jester. At one point. Seems they still. Retain some stuff. From that time. Though I wouldnât know. Much about it. Wasnât made yet. Would have to ask. Anyone else. Aside from me. Or Pallas. About that time.â
âNo. Problem. You do deserve. To know. Who youâre. Going to be. Sharing a space. With after all. Which reminds me⌠So far. Youâve met four of us. Me. Styx. Pallas. And Nike. So three more to go. Now I. Donât expect youâll. Meet Erebus or Nyx. Soon. So Zelus. Will probably be. The next one you. Do meet. Interesting huh?â
She kept patting Beast as she slightly mused that itâll quite the interesting meet up, Zelus has been very vocal in theirâŚdistaste at not being able to be active yet and the one held in her embrace quite literally almost immediately told her that it loves her.
A shame she wonât get to see itâŚbut thatâs probably for the best considering Zelusâs whole thing is breeding so that interaction may devolve quick and turn into something she doesnât want to seeâŚ.Yeah sheâll just stay out of that.
Bia was now the one to give a long stare directed at Beast, before just slowly pushing Beast as deep into her fur as it can go so she doesnât have to deal with that right nowâŚ
(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew. She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
Bia seemed surprised for a moment, if her antennae shooting up was anything to go by, though it wasnât long before she recovered from that. She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it

In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ
Bia simply sighed before responding while patting Beastâs head again (she really liked doing that)
âItâs fine. Couldnât ask you. To hunt more. Now can I?â

Though there is one way to bring up her moodâŚ
âOh right. That reminds me. Now that dinnerâs. Technically over. Donât you have. Something to tell me~â
Bia chuckled a bit, slightly musing about how she feels so far about the one before her. For one, she must say itâs quite a sight to behold, now she was never one for looks but even she had to admit it. She was also quite fun to tease and pet, didnât even have to ask before it accepted them, now thatâs something quite new for her.

âThank you. Also. Itâs fine. Can talk about. Them. I brought them up. After all. Letâs seeâŚâ
Bia thought for a moment about what to say before continuing
âZelus does. Have good jokes. Also tricks. Apparently they were. Something. Like a jester. At one point. Seems they still. Retain some stuff. From that time. Though I wouldnât know. Much about it. Wasnât made yet. Would have to ask. Anyone else. Aside from me. Or Pallas. About that time.â
âNo. Problem. You do deserve. To know. Who youâre. Going to be. Sharing a space. With after all. Which reminds me⌠So far. Youâve met four of us. Me. Styx. Pallas. And Nike. So three more to go.

Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew. She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
Bia seemed surprised for a moment, if her antennae shooting up was anything to go by, though it wasnât long before she recovered from that. She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it
âStones! What do. You haveâŚâ
In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ
Bia simply sighed before responding while patting Beastâs head again (she really liked doing that)
âItâs fine. Couldnât ask you. To hunt more. Now can I?â
Sheâll deal with stones later, besides a roachâs gonna so what a roachâs gonna do. No matter how annoying or sometimes deadly it isâŚwhy did Styx keep this one again? Heâs always been afraid of these things yet chooses to keep one as a pet, she really doesnât get itâŚ
Though there is one way to bring up her moodâŚ
âOh right. That reminds me. Now that dinnerâs. Technically over. Donât you have. Something to tell me~â
Bia chuckled a bit, slightly musing about how she feels so far about the one before her. For one, she must say itâs quite a sight to behold, now she was never one for looks but even she had to admit it. She was also quite fun to tease and pet, didnât even have to ask before it accepted them, now thatâs something quite new for her. And finally she was quite the good hunter, a kind one at that, kindness was something Bia valued most for whom she associated herself withâŚhmmmmâŚ
âI suppose. I need to. Give you my. Answer. Letâs seeâŚhmmmmmâŚIâd say itâs not quite. Love yet. But itâs getting. Quite close to it. Keep at it. Love.â
She continued to pet Beast, before pulling it closer into her fur once more. She quite liked this one, but it shall take a bit more time before it turns into love, love for her is a process, it takes more than just a day or a week, no it takes longerâŚbut she knows this it wonât be too long, this one shall be staying awhile after all~
âIâm not one. Easily swayed. But I know. Youâll WYRM your way. Into my heart. Soon. HeheâŚbad pun. I knowâŚâ
âThank you. Also. Itâs fine. Can talk about. Them. I brought them up. After all. Letâs seeâŚâ
Bia thought for a moment about what to say before continuing
âZelus does. Have good jokes. Also tricks. Apparently they were. Something. Like a jester. At one point. Seems they still. Retain some stuff. From that time. Though I wouldnât know. Much about it. Wasnât made yet. Would have to ask. Anyone else. Aside from me. Or Pallas. About that time.â

(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew.

The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew. She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
Bia seemed surprised for a moment, if her antennae shooting up was anything to go by, though it wasnât long before she recovered from that. She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it
âStones! What do. You haveâŚâ
In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ
Bia simply sighed before responding while patting Beastâs head again (she really liked doing that)
âItâs fine. Couldnât ask you. To hunt more. Now can I?â
Sheâll deal with stones later, besides a roachâs gonna so what a roachâs gonna do. No matter how annoying or sometimes deadly it isâŚwhy did Styx keep this one again? Heâs always been afraid of these things yet chooses to keep one as a pet, she really doesnât get itâŚ
Though there is one way to bring up her moodâŚ
âOh right. That reminds me. Now that dinnerâs. Technically over. Donât you have. Something to tell me~â
Bia chuckled a bit, slightly musing about how she feels so far about the one before her. For one, she must say itâs quite a sight to behold, now she was never one for looks but even she had to admit it. She was also quite fun to tease and pet, didnât even have to ask before it accepted them, now thatâs something quite new for her. And finally she was quite the good hunter, a kind one at that, kindness was something Bia valued most for whom she associated herself withâŚhmmmmâŚ
âI suppose. I need to. Give you my. Answer. Letâs seeâŚhmmmmmâŚIâd say itâs not quite. Love yet. But itâs getting. Quite close to it. Keep at it. Love.â
She continued to pet Beast, before pulling it closer into her fur once more. She quite liked this one, but it shall take a bit more time before it turns into love, love for her is a process, it takes more than just a day or a week, no it takes longerâŚbut she knows this it wonât be too long, this one shall be staying awhile after all~
âIâm not one. Easily swayed. But I know. Youâll WYRM your way. Into my heart. Soon. HeheâŚbad pun. I knowâŚâ
(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.

She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
Bia seemed surprised for a moment, if her antennae shooting up was anything to go by, though it wasnât long before she recovered from that. She didnât want to offer a response, so instead she just silently handed the two mites sheâs hadnât eaten yet while looking away, slightly hiding in her own fur as her antennae drooped back down.
As much as she doesnât want to admit it, she does need help and is very much flustered about it. That really didnât sit with her though, sheâs the one who offers help and makes other bugs flustered, not the other way around. But, sheâs going to just deal with it and also finally finish the one mite she did eat
The Beast accepted the mites, and began cutting them into many, drastically smaller pieces, about the size of the cheese cubes she had shared with Styx. She then passed the mites back to Bia.
"Not... shameful," The Beast said quietly. "Whatever... you cannot do... Not shameful."
What the Beast was trying to express (badly) was that disabilities are not shameful.
Bia accepted the cut-up mites before popping some of the pieces into her mouth, careful to not get any into her fur with a âthanks.âit really was easier to consume them this way⌠She listened to what Beast said, still getting the point despite theâŚway it was wordedâŚstill she offered a response.
âHmmm. Could say that. To any one of us. All have. Something wrong. Or missingâŚâ
She thought back to the others, while she didnât know what exactly happened to some of them (she was still only the second-youngest of them after all and wasnât around for all of it) she still knew how it affects them all, even to this day.
âIâm sure. Youâve noticed. Some of our problems. Already. Still. Only some. Not all. Both from body. And past. Laws may be old. But. Wounds are still fresh. No matter. How long itâs been.â
Were all of them disabled, in some way she hadn't noticed? Actually, that's not surprising. Several disabilities are (for lack of a better term) invisible. Or at least, difficult to notice if one is unfamiliar with them.
But Nike (Nyx? Oh dear it was mixing them up) did speak in a way difficult to parse. And Bia had difficulty eating. And... Would Styx's... mating instincts count as a disability? Or were they disabled in another way that the Beast didn't know? And what about Pallas?
The Beast supposed it didn't matter right now. She would learn.
Bia simply nodded at this, continuing to slowly eat her mite-pieces, before noticing her fireâs dying out a bit, a shame, she really liked the light coming from it, but thereâs really no use for it nowâŚwaitâŚwhereâs the mite she set aside? It wasnât were she left itâŚhmmmm
Then she noticed Stones silently sneaking away back to its cage, did she forget to close it? No matter that, it was acting suspiciousâŚso she decided to call out to it
âStones! What do. You haveâŚâ
In turn the roach froze up, before slowly turning back to face them, it was clear something was in its mouthâŚthan it just bolted to the entrance to evade being scolded, much to the chagrin of Bia. Guess that apology mite was goneâŚsurely Pallas wouldnât notice some of his stock was gone right? HehâŚno he totally wouldâŚseems she has to think of something else thenâŚ

When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew.

Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
The Beast began nodding, and was already mentally planning an exact hunting route, before Bia continued.
Bia teased her and began patting her head, and the Beast's body felt hot in reply. She leaned into the pats, and murmured, "Under... stood," Warily, a smidge nervously. Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
Bia was also slightly reluctant to let Beast go, but she did, and now she had to set some things up.
When Beast got back, Bia had already moved down to the web and had a fire going. Now she would much rather have a proper kitchen or had just done said fire in the nest, but considering the entire thing was covered in silk, it was quite the bad idea, so campfire in Styxâs room it is, good thing they have a grill though (stolen from Lugoli of course, a lot of their cooking supplies were stolen from them)
Now when she saw Beast get back with mites in hand, she already had an idea as to what to do with them, surely Pallas wouldnât mind her using some of his honeydew right? If not, sheâll make sure to set a mite aside for him.
âAh. Good. Youâre back. Hand those over. Would you?â
The Beast approached, depositing the mites beside Bia.
The Beast COULD have judged the lack of proper cooking supplies, but it would be an unfair judgment, considering the Beast (and, in fact, none of the Crests, but most ESPECIALLY not the Beast) had any idea how to cook and almost always ate things raw.
Bia took the mites with a simple âthank youâ before getting to work on de-fanging/teething them and cutting off all that fur of theirs. Now while she should probably be doing this with a knife, she found using her claws to be easier (it isnât easy to hold a knife with paws after all) though it did take longer.
Once the mites were prepped, itâs just as simple as skewering them with sticks! Though some of those spiked poles will do just as well, one perk of living in Sinnerâs Road is the readily available spikes and traps everywhere, but it can also be a downside to whoever has to face said spikesâŚ
Now once skewered, mites shall now be put onto the grill and flipped occasionally. Now this in of itself isnât that good of meal, hence the honeydew sitting to side, that was poured onto a tray and had some seeds mixed in with them. Once the mites were about slightly over half-way cooked, they were then coated in the honeydew-seed mixture and promptly set back into the grill to finish cooking.
Once they were done she took three of them and offered them to Beast before setting one of the grilled-mites to the side, leaving three for herself as well and going over to stoneâs cage to lend it the tray so that it may have whatâs left of the honeydew. She sat back down next to Beast afterwards, waiting to hear her opinion on her roasted mites, sheâllâŚdeal with the leftover fur & teeth later, thereâs probably some use for it.
(Fun fact: this was based on a Roman dish, âRoasted Dormouse Coated in Honey and Poppyseedsâ (idk if thereâs a name for it))
The Beast accepted the mites, and began to eat. She was, as always, a messy eater, but an enthusiastic one, practically moaning as she devoured some honeydew-coated mite foregut.
"Mm... is good... very good..." Is what the Beast said. Practically had hearts in its eyes. And also a heart in its claws, which soon became a heart in its jaws.
Bia stared (respectfully) at Beast, musing that Pallas was not lying or over exaggerating about their mistressâsâŚeating habitsâŚstill while weird, it wasnât exactly unpleasant, she was just glad it was liking her cooking. So she leaned over to Beast a good pat on its head while commenting that sheâs âa good hunterâ for getting her all those mites.
Speaking of those mites, time to dig in herself. Though unlike her companion here, sheâs not that enthusiastic nor messy when it comes to eating sheâŚcanât exactly afford to be messy, especially when it comes to her fur, cleaning it takes way too long to do. So she takes one paw to clear some of her fur away before opening her mouth wide, revealing a pair of palps that lookâŚwell not how palps should look, for one they were way too small for a bug her size and two, they seemedâŚdamaged, bits of flesh were justâŚmissing from them, though that didnât seem to bother her much.
Despite thisâŚoddity of hers, she still used them to make sure the mite was fully in her mouth before she started eating it, and while it wasnât that obvious, she wasâŚstruggling a bit to actually do so, harder stuff like meat wasnât that easy for her to consume her mouth wasnât in any better condition than her palps after all, she could still do it but it would take her a while. Still the mite was pretty good, sheâs proud of it
(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?

Guh, her feelings were vibrating in her chitin in a way they hadn't for Styx and Pallas. It was a strange sensation. Not an entirely unfamiliar one, but not a common one either.
Bia simply laughed at Beastâs reaction, she quite enjoyed teasing other bugs and this one was giving quite the entertaining reaction to it~ sheâs going to have a whole lot of fun with this one.
She stopped laughing for a moment before asking; âGood. Now. Would you rather. Go hunt now. Orâ,â pausing briefly to lean her head a quite a ways closer to Beastâs,âstay in. My embrace. A little bit longer.â
She leaned back after saying that last part before finishing off with a, âyour choice. Love.â
(Have nothing else to do, wrist hurts too much to draw, Bia loaf has me in chokehold, so here)
When Beast next steps into the bedroom, something seemsâŚdifferent. Thereâs a massive lump of something green and fluffy, similar to that of a massive mossgrub, except without the spikes and there (currently) wasnât any visible limbs or face on it, just laying on the bed
The only indication that thisâŚthing was a living creature was how it seemed to be breathing, the two wings that sat on top of it, and the two antennae that resembled dead leaves that came from what could only assumed to be its head, it was hard to tell with the amount of fur that covered its form.
These antennae then twitched before the head then turned towards her to reveal a mask slightly obscured by fur, itâs eyes rested on the Beast for a moment before it moved an arm from under its body to offer a wave with itsâŚhand? No, it was more paw than hand with only three digits that had digital pads on the tips and claws coming out the top, their was also a partly obscured pad that lay in the middle of the paw. Despite waving, it decided to not talk just yet, rather it just stayed laying there for bit.
(The toe beans are canon now :3)
The Beast stared at the... creature. It was certainly confused by this fluffy thing. However, the fluffy thing was fluffy, and therefore the Beast already felt less on-guard.
When the creature waved, the Beast became more convinced that this was not a threat. The Beast waved back, and then approached, slowly. She stepped onto the bed, and greeted with a soft, "Hello."
The Beast decided to assume this was another of Styx's masks. A part of the Beast hoped it was Zelus, because if this adorable thing was dedicated to breeding, the Beast's enjoyment would magnify a thousandfold, but even if this was NOT Zelus, she would be happy to meet... whoever this was.
The bug stopped waving as Beast joined it on the bed, putting its arm back under its body and then offered its own greeting with soft, slow, comforting voice.
âHi. Bia. I am.â
Bia then tilted her head a bit to the side, seemingly assessing Beast before deciding to just nuzzle her head into it for no particular reason, she just wanted to that to someone and their apparent mistress seemed to be a good one to do that to, so why not?
Bia... Bia... The Beast felt as though it may have heard that name before, but wasn't certain.
The Beast was a bit distracted from trying to place the name when she was suddenly nuzzled. She purred in response before beginning to pet Bia, fingers stroking through the fluff.
Bia seemed to enjoy being pet as evident from her leaning into Beastâs hand and her antennae dropping down, no longer alert.
She stayed nuzzling Beast for a moment, before backing up, shaking a bit, and then getting up slightly to do a big ol stretch, revealing her two arms and back four legs, before she turned to lay on her back, and continuing to nuzzle Beast.
She really didnât seem to be all too concerned with the potential risks of her acting like this, what happens, happens, and besides this was nice.
Bia, in turn, did some little squeaks to show her content at being pet, before lightly tapping Beastâs head with a paw and using both her arms pull it into her fur, letting Beast sink into it and offering it her own pets.
She really liked Beast so far, Styx chose a good mistress/mate it seems.
Bia continued to pet Beast, quite enjoying how she purred. Though she did tilt her head as she noticed Beastâs restraint, she feels like she knows what itâs experiencing right now, but wasnât exactly sure what it was.
EhâŚdoesnât matter, sheâs kind of hungry right now. So she just reached one of her paws into the fur around herâŚneck? Neck area? Before taking out some leaves that were apparently stored there and moving to shove them where a mouth should be and eating them, her free paw still on Beast.
Despite theâŚunconventional form of storage, it worked and also unintentionally showed the massive divide there was between flesh and fur. Still she continued to pet
The Beast, eventually, couldn't resist any longer. But at least she sheathed her claws before she dug her fingers in, and then she started squeezing, hugging, gently, still holding herself back a lot.
The Beast would not forgive itself if it hurt Bia.
Bia seemed confused at first, but did return the favor by giving Beast what could only be described as a bear hug, which wasnât all to surprising considering her size, though unlike some bear hugs, no bones were broken, rather Beast is just getting sunk further into her fur.
She found this to be quite enjoyable, though in the back of her mind she thought about what to do after this, maybe make some more tea? Or go back to her nap? Hmmmm
Bia found Beastâs reaction a little bit funny, though did let out a surprised squeak at that last part before chuckling a bit at it and offering a response.
âMoving. A bit fast. I see. Though yes. Quite fluffy. I am. Useful. it is. Glad. You like it.â
She slightly mused that the one in her arms was quite the funny little creature, she could understand why the others liked it so much.
Bia laughed at this, before calming down a bit and moving one of her arms to put a paw under Beastâs chin and moving its head to properly face hers, a smile clear in her voice
âWell now. Apologize not. Find it. Cute. I do. Though you should. Probably. Take a gal. To dinner first. Before confessing. Hmmm?â
Bia seemed to think the offer over for a bit, eventually coming to the conclusion that she could use the meat Beast could hunt to cook something up, make a proper dinner. Though they donât have table for itâŚhmmmmâŚsheâll figure that out later
âGood. That sounds. Could use meat. For cooking. Been awhile since I have. Opportunity for. A proper dinner.â
She could end it there, but nah. She chose to tease Beast about it instead
âThen. You could confess~. Maybe Iâll accept. Maybe I wonât. Youâll just have to. Wait. And see love.â
If she could wink, she would right now, but unfortunately it doesnât work like that. So instead of that she removed her paw from under Beastâs chin and used it to pat itâs head a bit
