1/2 Ok, so I'm running a rescue center. And I have two Sans types. One I would have to keep an eye on so he doesn't hurt Brown and any other bitty I get because he's a manipulative little shit. ANYWAY, I was wondering if there were any bitties you reccomend for a rescue center, be it healing them, caring for the babybones in the nursery, getting injured bitties out of hard-to-reach places, or getting scared bitties to calm down.
2/2 I'll have to adopt one at a time though because a buch of bitties at once is asking for someone to die. Thorn's not exactly... friendly.
I apologize for the absolutely atrociously late response, I hope you and your bitties find yourselves in good health <3
Alright, I looked over your rescue center and it looks like you already know how Nightmares and Dreams would integrate into your shop.
A Nightmare would be perfect to hang around your System Sanses, and would be a good example to your Scyryl's as well that not all Nightmare bitties are bad.
Adopting one at a time is no problem, but make sure to talk with the Nightmare about who you are bringing before adopting them out first. They are unable to be physically harmed, so they could be a barrier for any bitties that are oncoming.
A Dream would likewise be great to have around your Scyryl's, and typically get along with everyone if they can manage it, with their bright personalities and abilities to bring in positive feelings, they would be great to have around, and they can for sure be an ego booster for any bitty who needs it, they love complimenting friends!
They may be a little more on the gullible side though, so adopting them after their more skeptical nightmare counterpart is recommended!
And Thirdly I would recommend a Queenie for your third Bitty.
They are typically known for their gentle and guiding behaviors, and unlike the Toriels which can be overwhelmed at times to the point of needing to flee the scene (Though it doesn't happen often), Queenies will always be there until the very end, no matter how intense a fight or situation gets.
Queenies are like a rock, and they are good at managing whatever sections they are assigned to, which could be considered a balm for your bitties, most of which have abandonment issues and dislike being yelled at, their voices stay at an even tempo even in dire situations, as they instinctively know that if they do not keep a level head then no one will.
They like busywork, nature, and taking care of things, which I think is a good mirror to your rescue.
But then again, these are just suggestions, you don't have to take them!

(So I had an idea due to the art I've seen of Sun and Dream meeting, and @firedrakegirl got to listen to many a ramble on this. I wrote this before the Sun and Moon lamia were even a part of the shop, so I hope you enjoy the little drabble of a new family member joining!)
Adjusting the fabric around the single egg in the medbay with Gibbous curled around it as well, the rescued Lumen would talk quietly to the egg and Sai would tenderly scritch under his jaw, mindful of the scars. Sana and Neo were in for a checkup, mainly checking on how their scares were healing and how Sana was dealing with his false fang.
Layl and Fajar were settled on Sai's head, snuggled together to help ward off the slight chill from the winter air that tried to seep through the windows, and Laminae was spending time with her mate and their children in the nursery. The others were having a rather sleepy morning as it was just past the new year, and with sleepy mornings and cold winter air meant a good chunk of bitties were all bunched up in piles snoozing, even the centaurs were in the shop, the selkies enjoying the chill in their near ice like water. Occasionally a few would poke their heads up to look into the medbay, waving before diving back into the water.
The sound of a crack would make one of Sai's ears twitch, her eyes darting over to Gibbous as he watched the egg in shock. Bits of shell scattered as a pair of orange wings seemed to stretch, black hands shoving away more shell and out emerged a slightly smaller than normal Sun lamia that looked mildly confused before laying his mismatched eyes on the Lumen curled around him in the nest. Chirring curiously, his head would tilt before he would lunge forward, Sai yelping in shock as she darted over to the pair, prepared to pull them apart before realizing that the new hatchling was snuggling up to the Lumen.
"I... Are you ok Gibbous?" She would ask softly, watching the Sun carefully.
"No bites, only snuggle-" He responded before squeaking as the damp wings would ruffle and wrap around him.
Oh dear- She needed to get the little Sun cleaned up before he got sick from the chill, hurrying to a warmer to pull out a warm towel to help dry his wings and at least help him get cleaned up. Despite the snap of fangs at her in his wary state, thinking she might harm his new bonded, with enough encouragement from Gibbous, she would be able to clean him up and get him dressed up before calling for Torque through their bond.
"Torque, can you tell- Did he pick Gibbous for his bonded?" She would ask the Chain softly, watching his behavior as it was very similar to how the other Sun lamia treated their bonded Moons.
A simple nod would make her huff a soft smile before fondly shaking her head in mild exasperation. A Lumen without a Nocturne and a Sun without a Moon, what a pair to say the least. At least Gibbous didn't seem to mind too much, content to snuggle with his new companion.
"Welcome to the family, Solstice, don't you worry, you'll be safe with us, little one."
A blue bowed girl enters the shop with two lamias hiding in her bow, and some bitties(An Azzy, Poppy, and Sansy) looking through a carrier she's carrying. "Hi! I'm here to adopt an Apollo, Ares, and Artemis" She says while smiling lightly and setting the carrier in the counter gently as to not scare the three bitties. She then puts her hands together, awaiting a response.
Dray smiles and chuckles softly as she greets you from the office desk in the smallish-room.
“Lets head to the open area, it’s best for them to get to know your other bitties and you before a trio goes home with you. They all are of legal age and have their own personalities. Do you mind doing so?” She hums with a smile, a Nightmare, a Dream and Dawn bitty cuddling in one of her horns and the other had a Wyvern Snas sleeping soundly.
Figured it was about time to get a proper master list up, especially because the amazing @dotchi13 and @novetteus commissioned the wonderful @calmchapsart for art of the bitties offered here which I am extraordinarily grateful for.
Nocturne
Nightmare lamia bitty
Venomous
Venom causes clotting in the blood that takes hold quick, venom is almost more like an ooze instead of liquid
12-18 inches long
6 inches ‘standing’
5-7 pounds
Has a very notable scale color, the top scales are a deep purple while the belly is a dark cyan, on the back of the lamia’s tail is a large, light purple crescent moon
Prefers to be around his owner and the select few he trusts
*Warning* This bitty is easily influenced by negativity and can corrupt, becoming feral if one is not careful. Handle with extreme care, especially if there is a Lumen bitty that is being mistreated or if you mistreat the Nocturne Bitty. Nocturne is much like Lumen in the way he gives off a slight negative aura in a manner like Nightmare, but having the brothers together is the easiest way to combat any issues
Feral Nocturne (Note that these are not offered if it can be helped)
Reacts violently when provoked
More likely to bite
Is easier to provoke without his twin close by
Secrets his venom through his scales and over his bones to give the goopy appearance
Can be ‘reverted’ from his feral form by time with his twin, must be left alone for a few days for the Lumen to calm and comfort
Will not easily trust after being soothed from his ‘feral state’
Scales will turn black with a violet Moon, and the underbelly will be a vibrant cyan
Has four tentacles on his back that he will use to constrict prey
Lumen
Dream lamia bitty
Nonvenomous
*Produced an antivenom to Nocturne’s venom
* 9-15 inches long
* 5 inches 'standing’
*4-6 pounds
*Has a notable deep golden scale color on his tail with a pale yellow belly, and depending on how the lamia is treated/the amount of negativity he has to 'combat’ some of his scales may darken to black. On his back is a very notable yellow-orange sun marking.
*He’s rather energetic and playful, enjoying being around Ink and Swap!Sans bitties. He does enjoy being around Nocturne due to the family bond between them.
*Warning* This bitty is a lot like Dream in the way of he does give off a positive aura, these bitties do try to help but are oft taken advantage of. Be careful if you plan to try and take advantage of them, as if they have a Nocturne nearby, the Nocturne will attack. They do not like being separated from the Nocturne they hatched with, and can be very despondent for a fair while, even with other bitties
NOTE: It is best to adopt these lamia together due to the venom/antivenom correlation. And if the are adopted separately, do try to keep in touch with the person who got the other sibling to arrange playdates, the lamia do not like being separated
Impurus
Shattered!Dream lamia bitty
Venomous
Venom is very similar to Nocturne, however it does not kill near as quick, it ends up being either nonfatal or a very painful death. His bite on other bitties can turn them feral (very similar to how Shattered!Dream corrupts others)
10-16 inches long
5 inches 'standing'
Weighs 4-8 pounds
The top scales have darkened to a dark yellow with black splotches, the sun marking not being grey instead of yellow, and the belly is a dark gold, bones are black and goopy
This bitty loves to tease and taunt, often being cruel to other bitties, it is recommended to only have this bitty and not have him around others.
*Warning* This bitty is recommended for a very patient, and experienced owner, keep him away from Nightmare bitties, and be cautious around other bitties.
Umbra
Nightmare lamia bitty (Shattered Dreams AU)
Venomous
Venom is just like a regular Nocturne bitty, however he rarely bites, as such the venom causes clotting in the blood that takes hold quick, venom is almost more like an ooze instead of liquid. Due to the Impurus’ nature, a Lumen’s antivenom would be what helps most if there is an accidental bite.
15-20 inches long
7 inches 'standing'
Weighs 7-10 pounds
The main scales are a near black purple, with small flecks of white scales, the purple crescent moon on his back is a more lilac hue, and his underbelly is violet with a black stripe down each side
This bitty is a good bitty with children, playing with them and reading books with them. Pair him with an Elisium bitty and you'll have a slightly worried lamia who is trying to make sure the smaller one is well looked after. Make sure to keep him as stress/any negative emotion free as it can affect him.
*Warning* This bitty is very protective of his family, and in turn that means he is protective of his owners and other bitties. The only time this bitty will bite is when his family is threatened. If he is kept around negative emotions, he can become 'corrupted' and violent
Elisium
Eden lamia bitty (Shattered Dreams AU)
This bitty’s ‘venom’ is actually a form of antivenom to the Impurus’ venom and can aid with the ‘feral/corruption’ of other bitties if they are bit by the other lamia.
6-10 inches
4 inch 'standing
Weights 5-7 pounds
The scales are a maroon with small yellow star marks speckling near where the scales meet bone, and the underbelly is a soft gold. His eyes are mismatched, one red, one green.
This bitty has a very innocent personality, and is oft with a childlike wonder. He tries to make many friends and gets along with (or tries to) any bitty or human. He greatly enjoys being around an Umbra due to the familial bond
*Warning* This bitty is very curious and can end up being under foot often, one needs to watch where they step and make sure this bitty does not take any serious falls. He is still a young lamia and is a bit fragile.
Ascella
Dreamswap Dream lamia bitty
Venomous(?)
This bitty's venom is strange as it acts more as a purification item than something to kill
9-15 inches
6 inches 'standing'
4-6 pounds
The scales are a bright gold with a cream underbelly, on his back there is a yellow orange sun pattern and cream hued feathers decorating the scales. There are times, when this bitty is well cared for and his magic is high, that he does have wings, and they are strong enough that the bitty is able to fly up to his owner's shoulder.
This bitty does not get along very well with Nightmare bitties, and has his own sense of justice. He does look out for other bitties and can be kind, granted he often behaves a bit tsundere about it and refuses to acknowledge said kindness.
*Warning* This bitty does not tolerate any kind of abuse or mishandling of himself or other bitties and will not hesitate to protect and take other bitties to a safe area. If this bitty is truly made a foe, it leads to a very dangerous lamia. We do our best to raise the clutches of Ascella and Nox together to at least keep them cordial with each other, and the ones that live as hatchmates are quite fond of each other and don’t mind being adopted out together.
Nox
Dreamswap Nightmare lamia bitty
Venomous
His venom is similar to other Nightmare lamia, but it is weaker. It causes the blood to clot up easier but does not cause clots due to being injected.
10-14 inches long
5 inches 'standing'
5-6 pounds
The scales of this lamia are a mix of violet and orchid with a near wine hued crescent on his back, and his underbelly is a gentle lavender.
This bitty is honestly a bit timid, often avoiding Ascella bitties due to the threat they pose to the Nox bitty. They do well in quiet environments and enjoy being around their owner. They prefer lower energy bitties if there are other bitties in the family, and they love either soft music or reading with their owners.
*Warning* Try to avoid overloading these lamias senses, as they are much more wary than the others. As long as they are kept away from Ascella bitties, they'll be safe and calm, otherwise they may try thrashing or biting to escape. We do our best to raise the clutches of Ascella and Nox together to at least keep them cordial with each other, and the ones that live as hatchmates are quite fond of each other and don’t mind being adopted out together.
Rever
Empireverse Dream Lamia
Produces the antivenom to Cauchemar
Weighs between 9 - 12 pounds
Standing height is 8 inches
Length: 16 - 22 inches
Ivory colored scales with a pale yellow underbelly.
There is a golden colored stripe down the left side of his back with a sun resting in the center of his back.
The marking on his back matches the one on his face.
Usually a very peaceful bitty, loves being surrounded by nature and animals. He may oft be found in a garden if given the chance.
Loves to teach others and gets along really well with upbeat or energetic bitties despite his peaceful nature, some examples being Swap Sans and Ink bitties.
Cauchemar
Empireverse Nightmare Lamia
Produces a neurotoxin venom
Weighs 12-15 pounds
Stands at 9 inches
Length is 18-24 inches
Ebony colored scales with an eggplant purple underbelly
There is a cyan stripe down his right side with a moon resting in the center of his back
Much less chaotic than the feral Nocturne, more calculating and strict, but also quite protective over his family if he deems something a threat.
Greatly enjoys working on difficult puzzles and reading by moonlight.
Gets along well with ‘bad’ bitties like Horrors, Killers, Murders, and Errors. He will try to make his own little ‘court’. I can definitely recommend Dotchi’s wonderful shop if you do want to get him his own little court.

I want to heavily thank both @preshbabyblue and @dotchi13 for betaing the story.
The quaint home looked peaceful from the outside, tended gardens brought in fresh produce and an odd layer of silver seemed to have been dusted over the crops. This home was one that the youngest Kitsune knew well, it was where she had stolen Dusk and Dawn’s egg from back when she only had one tail. It was only once you looked into the window, or opened the door, that you would see something was desperately wrong. The smell of death permeated throughout the house, the floor covered in a thick layer of grey, ashen dust. Small piles of said dust could be seen tucked into corners or under furniture- where bitties that had once been created of said dust had gone to hide themselves before facing their untimely deaths.
If wandering eyes continued to peer through the windows of the home, they could spot a line of cages shoved against walls in the bedroom. A humanoid figure enters and grabs one of the cages to take into the kitchen where they roughly drop the cage before pulling the door open. A Lumen and Nocturne were curled up in the back of the cage, the darker bitty protectively coiled around his trembling twin with his fangs bared. Perhaps this time they could get the proper response from the pair that they were looking for, and it would result in the Lumen being roughly pulled away from the Nocturnes’ protective coil. The Lumen would be the key to getting what the figure wanted, they got the strongest reaction from the Nocturnes if the twin was in danger.
Before the Lumen was grabbed, the mysterious figure had slipped on a pair of thick gardening gloves. With their hands protected they could grab the Lumen and pull him from the other bitties’ grasp. In the process, they had to force the Nocturne down onto the rough bottom of the cage. The small creature’s body connects with it violently, small fractures cracking up along their little rib cage, followed by his head which connected with the metal grounding. The Lumen is pulled from the cage, held tightly in the figure’s other hand, the smaller lamia trying to reach out, as he let out cries of distress, struggling in the figure’s grip. The Lumen was very concerned for the damage his brother just took as the Nocturne tried to bite the glove, trying to sink his fangs just a little deeper- to break through the thick fabric and get his venom into this cruel creature’s blood. The figure lifts the Nocturne with a scowl, pulling him from the cage momentarily to shake him. The Nocturne’s body and head jerk back and forth abruptly before he is tossed cruelly back into the cage, leaving him dazed as the cage door is shut and locked.
Their owner walked out into the dining room with the poor Lumen, who was then subject to a tortuous cruelty that it seemed the bitties were forced to deal with at this home on a constant basis. The pained, distressed cry of the Lumen would echo through the house, and soon enough the owner would come back with a smug look on his face and a fist full of something that was then tossed at the Nocturne. The figure’s hand had been full of the same ashen, grey dust that littered the home. The Nocturne, almost instantly, breaks down. He moves quickly to gather up the falling dust as fat, violet tears slip down his cheeks. It was clear that he thought the dust thrown at him was all that remained of his sibling, thinking that their owner had killed him.
The owner would stand there, a bored expression on their face as they watched how the Nocturne grieved before pulling the cage door open again. The Nocturne reared back with an angry hiss, the negativity he felt from his grief and anger starting to visibly show as dark venom began to ooze slowly from his fangs and mouth. The hiss shifts, deepening into a low growl as the viscous black slowly started to cover his body, tail twitching as he waited for the owner to come closer. The venom gathered the dust, keeping it stuck to his bone and body, giving the black a near shimmer effect while the owner’s hand came closer to attempt to pick up the now feral Nocturne. A low snarl came from the lamia before he lunged, fangs sinking into their arm and through the long sleeves that they wore, quick to then flee back to the ground and under the sofa as the owner- or well, former owner, crumpled to the ground from the venom.
Slithering out from under the sofa once the struggles gasps for air and the twitching faded from their owner, the Nocturne jerked his attention to the dining room at a faint whimper. The tentacles that had burst from his back writhed in restrained anger, that whimper sounded familiar, and so the lamia slowly started to move towards the noise, fangs bared as he rounded the corner with his tentacles poised to strike. Only for him to see the familiar golden hue of magic marred with silvery dust streaking ivory bone, weak whimpers coming from his twin.. Golden ‘blood’ oozed from under the slim hands, the feral bolting forward to coil around his wounded twin. The Lumen tensed in fear, blinded from the pain he was in, crying out before the Nocturne began to soothe him.
Black clung to pristine bone, the sight of the wound marring the left eye socket and the left fang being missing from the Lumen making the feral snarl in anger back in the direction of their ‘owner’ causing a soft whimper coming from the wounded one. The little Lumen looked confused at first from being treated with such care before making concerned sounds after realizing just who had found him, the Nocturne gently shushing his brother, gently pulling his hands away to see just how bad the wound was. The deep gouge into the bone made his venom covered hands gently squeeze the smaller’s, the older twin was clearly upset at the injury, but he instead pulled the younger into a tight hug. After looking around and realizing there wasn’t much they could get to with their owner now dead, he would use his tentacles to gently pick up his wounded brother to head out in search of food. They needed to keep up the smaller’s magic, especially with that wound, granted there was an inky black trail that followed as he slithered around. Having managed to just pull the door open, they slid out and headed into the forest.
The thick brush offered plenty of cover, keeping them safe from any predators, but the Nocturne remained on high alert. There would be nothing to keep him from protecting his brother this time, he would dust before anyone hurt the little Lumen again. What was not expected was to run near face first into a pale blue paw, the venom clinging to the fur as he pulled back. A protective hiss left the lamia’s throat, his twin clutched closer to his chest. The sight of the feral Nocturne took the fox by surprise, head lowering down with a concerned sound leaving her chest, having not expected to run into a lamia this far from the shop. It had her worried, but with the poor thing on such high alert, he lashed out with his tentacles, one catching over her left eye, the other leaving a decent wound on her right cheek. Shifting back, the fox turned woman, a kitsune, would be quick to murmur comfort to the pair, even with the black venom clinging to her skin, the venom slow to move towards the wound.
Off came her overshirt, quickly, yet carefully wrapping the pair in the fabric before bolting for the shop she ran with her twin. Layl blipped to her shoulder, having been dozing in her tails, the sight of the blood and the sheer anxiety and fear pouring off of her making him start to draw in the negativity in to try and calm her to think more rationally.Dodging the different branches and trees, she would glance to Layl before looking back to the bundle in her arms.
“When we get to the shop, I need you to get them into the medbay. We have a feral case on our hands. I’ll get Dusk to Nat and Dawn, I know we’ll need Fajar and Laminae as well for this.” The kitsune answered his questioning gaze, a nod following.
“Got it, but keeping this secret at first from the others though? Is that smart?” Layl would speak up, sliding down her shoulder to rest a hand lightly on the bundle, his cyan eye looking to Saiyuri with concern. “Especially with those wounds-”
“Just until we get him stabilized, and the Lumen with him, it’ll throw Dusk into a fit if he sees them like this.” She would respond, a light hiss of pain coming from her at the feel of one of Layl’s tentacles wiping away the venom from the wound on her cheek.
The duo would arrive back at the shop rather quickly, Torque already rising up from his spot near the Impurus bitties as Layl would grab the bundle and teleport into the medbay, the large Chain pulling the shop door open in confusion. Her hand would lift, halting the questions she could feel through the SOUL bond, hurrying into the shop with Torque following behind her. Boisenberry, the full sized Mamba- reared up at the scent of blood, moving to Saiyuri’s side as well while she scurried over to the Umbra and Elisium area. Fajar, Laminae and Dusk went to greet the younger sister before being quickly scooped up and whisked to the nursery door.
“ Nat I need you to help!” Saiyuri called out, fingers caressing over Dusk’s tail before she pulled open the nursery door and in went the older Nocturne into Natsume’s arms. The door was quickly shut after, the pair only seeing the blood on the other kitsune, and her attention would go to Boisenberry next.
“Boisenberry, I need your help, make sure Dusk and Nat can’t get out just yet. It’s safer in the nursery in case this Nocturne turns out more violent than expected.”
She would squeeze his hand in thanks, Laminae having immediately moved to start checking over the wound above her left eye, the little bits of healing magic helping staunch what bleeding had occurred down her face, making it scab up. Rushing to the medbay with Torque, she would nod to the connecting door inside that led to the nursery, Torque moving quickly to settle before it. Natsume has Dusk and Dawn in her arms, looking in over the half door at her sister as Layl moved Laminae and Fajar to safety before the shirt was carefully removed. Another lash of tentacles from the Feral, this time mostly dodged other that a glancing blow to her arm, and the Nightmare would quickly move to restrain the violent Nocturne so as to prevent other injuries.
Carefully pulling the wounded Lumen from the Feral’s coils, she would wipe away the venom, the feel of his anxious tremors making her heart ache. A soft green glow would encompass her hands, easing the pain the poor lamia was dealing with, looking to her Mumcher and Dream. “Laminae, do you mind looking over him, the wound on his skull worries me… Fajar, I’ll need you to help Layl and I with the Feral.”
Laminae looked like she was going to protest, her bright glowing green eyes looking distraught to the wounded kitsune she would give her life for, but knew her beloved Owner well enough that there would be no argument. “Of course, and after we’re getting you patched up!” Laminae insisted, hurrying to get an herb mix that would ease the pain from the blinding and lost fang.
Fajar quickly moved to the Feral’s other side, looking determined but happy to help. “Just tell me how to help!”
“Thank you all…” There was a hint of relief in the kitsune’s voice, a grateful smile on her face before she began talking Fajar through helping her clear the venom away so she could get a good look over the lamia, Layl getting rather continuous praise as well for helping with restraining the more aggressive bitty; His tentacles and arms helping lock the feral in place, knowing going slack for even a moment could possibly lead to Sai or Fajar being injured, in Sai’s case, again.
Laminae, now fully focused on helping the injured Lumen, would eventually hop down into Sai’s tails before hurrying off to get one of the nests that was in one of the cupboards for any patients that would need to stay for longer than a few hours. Torque would use his magic to lift both the Mumcher and the nest up to rest on the counter, Laminae then coaxing the Lumen into the plush warmth. Despite it taking a few minutes, she would happily help him settle, a hand gently petting over the top of his skull, careful of the bandaging that covered the wounded eye, gauze in place of the missing fang for now.
She’d soon draw over to Saiyuri as well, a soft coo of affection coming from the kitsune as she pressed a soft kiss to her Mumcher’s head. Praise flowed until they managed to not only get the feral bandaged up and partially healed from the damaged ribs, but also subdued enough to feed him one of the calming lavender and chamomile gummies, soon moving him to the nest with his twin. A half hearted hiss followed after when she shifted the nest, the pair of lamia coiled up together and finally dozing.
Cleaning the venom from her hands, she would then gather up her Nightmare, Dream, and Mumcher, hugging them close as she murmured praise and thanks to the three of them, the Mumcher nuzzling to her and soaking up the praise while the Dream wiggled, prideful of all of them and the Nightmare cyan in the face. Torque would shift once more as she was praising the three, dampening a cloth to wipe away the blood that streaked her face and the venom that still clung to her skin. Pressing a kiss to Torque’s head, she would nod as he went to get Boisenberry, both prepared for the ‘hunt’ to see if there were any other bitties to rescue.
Looking to the half door that separated the medbay and nursery, Saiyuri would finally approach, an apologetic look on her face. “I am sorry about that, Nat, Dusk… I didn’t want to risk their lives, didn’t know how long they’d been in that state.”
Dusk looked quite put off, albeit understanding, his arms and tail protectively coiled around his smaller twin who looked understandably terrified. Natsume would reach out, a gentle hand resting on Saiyuri’s arm giving a soft squeeze. Sai reached out to try and pet Dusk in apology, which led to a nip to her fingers, not hard enough to draw blood, but enough to sting and show his displeasure. A light flinch followed the nip, an apologetic sound coming from her throat before Layl teleported to her shoulder with Fajar, the Kitsune looking to the lone Mumcher still cuddling to her.
“Laminae, do you mind keeping watch over our new patients while we’re gone? It’s not normal for a feral to be in the wild like that, and those injuries seemed more than just from a bitty fight… something feels off about this whole thing.”
“Of course, I’ll be happy to keep an eye! But you make sure to stay safe, and come back as soon as possible.” Laminae smiled, nodding at the question, yet her tone and eyes showed her concern for the kitsune.
“I’ll hurry back as soon as possible, Dusk, you stay with Nat and Dawn for now, alright? I really am sorry about earlier.” Scarlet eyes went from the Mumcher before going to the older kitsune and the twin lamia in her arms as she spoke, Dusk looking to his twin before back to the one whom had helped raise him and giving a sharp nod.
“Be safe, Sai, and when you get back, you’re getting some of the antivenom, the venom was too close to your wounds for comfort.” Natsume spoke up, an understanding smile on her face before watching how her younger twin shifted down into her Fox form and took off with Layl and Fajar burrowed into her fur.
Torque and Boisenberry kept pace with their concerned owner, the pair watching for anything troubling before spying the venom trail.
“This way.” Torque called as he shifted to follow the trail, Boisen hissing in acknowledgement, bumping Sai to the right direction.
The two large lamia were the first on the scene, the scent of a house she hadn’t been around in over 400 years making the kitsune’s steps slow. Wide eyes glanced around, the bitties on her back tightening their grip on her fur, a growl coming from Layl who wrapped a tentacle around Fajar protectively. Having finally been around monsters for so long now, and dealing with a fair few injuries, Saiyuri now recognized what gave this house it’s pretty silver coating, the dust of killed monsters, or more correctly, of monster bitties.
Torque took the initiative, breaking the door in fully from where it was cracked, an orb of lavender fox fire following to illuminate their surroundings. Boisenberry was quick to follow, a cry of outrage following as he came across the former resident. Even in death, dust still cling stubbornly to their skin, violet eyes narrowing before glancing around and throwing open doors.
“There’s a lot of negative energy here…” Layl muttered, Fajar glancing around warily as Saiyuri set foot in the house, her paws and tails picking up the clinging dust.
“Something isn’t right… I feel what feels like attempts of positive energy, but whatever is giving it off is terrified and muting it.” Fajar added, Boisenberry’s call making everyone look to the hall.
“Over here! They had babies caged!” Boisenberry would linger in the bedroom doorway, a Nocturne and Lumen pair in his arms, both of the small lamia clearly terrified and clinging to the larger lamia.
Torque and Saiyuri would hurry, dust being disturbed into the air, and giving the house an ethereal sort of feeling, before they would rescue another five pairs of Nocturnes and Lumen. Leaving the house finally, the two large lamia each had a pair in their arms, Boisen holding the youngest pair, Torque holding the oldest, and on Saiyuri’s back with Layl and Fajar comforting them and soothing fears with their magics were the last three pairs. It was a slow trek to the shop this time, not wanting to disturb the traumatized and fearful bitties. And once they all arrived, there would be an array of mixed reactions at the sight of the somber group and the newest members of the shop.
Torque and Boisenberry are from @vex-bittys‘ shop, and Layl, Fajar, and Laminae are from Dotchi’s shop. Definitely pop in and visit, they’re both super sweet and are a huge inspiration for my having created this shop with Nat!
I’m finally able to get the lamia to settle enough for me to get a picture of them! Or we... I managed two pictures so far.
First up are our Nocturnes and Lumens, I almost went to Nat to see if we should have Dusk and Dawn pose but that would skew the size due to their being the first to ever hatch to us.
And then I got the cutest shot of one of our Umbras playing with an Elisium! I love seeing the little bleps our youngest bitties do!
I’ll keep trying with our Impurus, I may need Layl’s help for that, and then the Ascella and Nox were having a small disagreement that took a bit longer than expected to clear up.
