LizardMom was, as lussii went, small and compact. Watching her sleeping figure, one would think that she was probably a creature safer to spend time with than the other monstrous guardians of troll children. As she yawned, opening her mouth wide to reveal a cavern full of sharp, pointy teeth, one would probably change their mind.

Arejda closed her eyes, nearing LizardMom with rapt determination. They were going to visit her moirail, or they would both die trying. She didn't close her eyes out of fear of the teeth, or fear of getting bitten, as she was sure that those horrendous teeth would most definitely bite her, but she was cripplingly afraid of the blood she was sure would sprout out as LizardMom withdrew her teeth from Arejda's arms, legs, or face.

"Mom," She cooed, or attempted to. Any noise that came out of Arejda's mouth had the tendency to sound like a growl. "Mom, wake up. We're going out! Doesn't that sound like fun?" She opened her eyes to view LizardMom curling up even more soundly in her bed. Arejda let out a humph, going in to poke LizardMom, and getting bitten right on the finger. She let out a mighty yelp, and immediately closed her eyes, taking a band-aid from her sylladex and applying it with the blind skill of someone who was forced to do this on a daily basis.

LizardMom looked back up at her innocently, not saying a word. Arejda glared at her. "We're going to visit the river. I already told Heltus you were coming." LizardMom's eyes widened. "Yes, I know about your flushcrush on TurtleDad. This is a great opportunity for the two of you to get to really know eachother!" LizardMom lets out a sound that can only be described as a gurgle in consent.
