#laminae

I had been checking in on the hatchlings, while Nat and Dawn are away, and wound up finding Dusk and Laminae under the bonsai that our little lamia took to. I snuck a photo because I couldn’t help but coo, I think that there’s going to be a celebration coming up soon at the shop.

(I hope the image shows up! Couldn’t stop thinking of these two so I did the reference you’ve been gushing over, though because Laminae is the larger bitty I had her be the carrier, but I still think it’s cute! And because I’m just flowing with ideas for so many things I just had to make a little snippet of how I imagine their relationship to be like from Laminae’s side <3 I hope you like it! If I’ve gone overboard and you don’t like it just message me and I’ll only send in the picture! <3) Mumchers were born to love and protect others. This particular Mumcher had known this since she came into the world and she had wanted nothing more than to give herself wholly to the cause, she would die for her family, new additions included because they were her loved ones. Saiyuri of Tails and Scales had become her adoptee and it was with her that she met him. Dusk the Largest Nocturne. Out of the gate the newly dubbed Laminae liked him, his tail wrapping around her to give her affection that her insides always gnawed at her for, her greatest joy, something her friends the newly dubbed Fajar and Layl did for her all the time as her friends, so she was very quick to call Dusk her friend, as well as his twin brother when she had met him, finding him quite adorable and loveable. Living with Saiyuri gave her delights she had always prayed that she would experience, being a mother figure in the lives of some bitties -like the Ascella whom she would secretly call her child for how attached the two had become to one another-, being a fine nurse and a loved bitty to a very affectionate and amazing Owner whom Laminae thought the world of. And then there was that one thing she didn’t pray for but nevertheless warmly became a part of her life. She was pretty sure neither had meant for it to happen but it did, one night while it was a little chilly she was working hard in the infirmary in helping a young Elisium get over the magical equivalent of a fever, passing out as soon as she had confirmed it broke and the young one was going to be fine, having worked from early morning to evening trying to help make him better. The Mumcher woke up to being wrapped up in coils by Dusk whom took her back to his nest with Dawn as it was the closest and let her sleep in the small bitty pile, Dawn being a little teasing when everyone was awake but understanding otherwise. Afterwards Laminae would find excuses to spend more time with the Lamia, and Dusk would indulge her. She started staying up later and later to talk with him and spend time with him, watching the stars or taking walks with one another. She found herself adoring him more than she already did, and inside she had hoped that he felt the same way about her as well, sometimes having panic attacks because of her paranoia that she was not good enough for him and never could be. Her heart was overtaken by warmth when he left her bandages one evening, it being a practical gift and the first token of lamia courting as she understood. She was practically in a tizzy that whole night, and every other day after that, absolutely love sick for the lamia whom had her bitty soul in his coils. Time had passed and his gifts became less practical, and it was at that stage Laminae found herself being bolder in affection as one day she scooped him up, unable to look away adoringly from his eyelights as she gave her lovely crooked smile, speaking slowly and clearly, “ I hope you know I love you." — Dotchi, dear, you truly are a sweetheart oh my lord this was the BEST thing to wake up to! Oh my babies I love them so much! And she has the shop’s crest on her outfit now! Oh I want to cry many happy tears!!

Fajar has been an angel helping me soothe the Nox, they’ve not really wanted their picture taken, but he was able to talk one into letting me do so as long as he stuck with him. That Nox wound up curling into my tails after we finished, Fajar is still chatting with him as I share this.

And Laminae was able to talk the Ascella that’s taken to her into letting me get a photo. But he wanted to pose with her, and she wound up with a wing around her. Goodness they’re so adorable!
