Some Lord and Lady costumes, Happy Halloween!

Extra:

Time for more Noble's will Au stuff I thought up.

This will have a Official tag if anyone wants to check it out. Under "Noble's will AU"

Thanks to the wonderful mutual @creatingnonsense , more ideas were played out, so Im putting them here.

Once a Warden completes their trial, a mark from the noble would be added to their body, a testament to their will. It can be shown as scars or as markings. Its a way to show that the human have managed to complete this task and gained the grand title of Warden.

For scars, Melli has a healed lightning (litchenburg) scar across his face and back, Palina would have light burn scars on her feet and ankles.

For markings, Arezu would have a leaf-like tattoo on her left leg, and Sabi would have a marking of a feather on her hand.

Wardens also become like second parents/older siblings to the Noble's children, helping them raise the next generation. In some cases, Wardens would take up the mantle of raising the runts when the Noble are not able to do it themselves, especailly when the Noble is sick or hurt.

You can catch one of the wardens sometimes followed around by a tiny group of pokemon, like a mother duck being followed by their babies.

Example: "Mama" Melli being followed by a group of rambunctious voltorbs, or "Big brother" Lian helping young Scyther sharpen their blades with stones. "Papa" Iscan helps guide the Basculin upstream, and "little doe" Mai takes time to comb through Stantler fawn 's fur of barbs and thorns.

Paternal/ maternal instinct is activated whenever the noble does have their heirs, making sure to protect the litter like they would for human children. Which is why they were given their blessings in the first place.

Either from other pokemon, like Alphas, or humans that could harm or kill them, like hunters or poachers.

Example: Ingo once bit a poacher out of instinct from harming a Sneasel kit, and it was realized that this developed poison glands in his teeth and fingertips, similar to his noble. Or, Calaba causing a mudslide to bury some Toxicroak who got WAY too close to some Teddyursas she was watching over.

Heavily inspired from a fic called "To act and not wallow" by Jalowy on Ao3 , Noble pokemon have sacred "true names", given to them at birth from their parents' warden.. It holds a slight power of them, being able to soothe a distressed noble pokemon's heart during bad times or to bring it joy during times of joy.

The noble is able to hear their name being called no matter how far their warden is away from them, they will always come running.

Only the warden may know the Noble's true name. It is the first thing they know about the noble pokemon when their bond is first made, immediately waking from the soulspace with the name whispered to them. Other wardens and even the clan leaders know it, but they cannot say it, only the warden of that specific noble can speak their name truly.

Hence why when a Noble loses a warden, their heart "dies" because due to them unable to hear their name spoken once more to soothe their hurting heart.

Melli has the biggest celebrity crush on Ingo.

He fucking hates himself for it, too.

Adaman finds this hilarious, and Ingo is Ash Ketchum™️ levels oblivious. Lady Sneasler knows and has barred him from entering the den. Lord Electrode finds it mildly amusing, and his Stunky just dgaf.
