Apologies for the long delay, struggling to get the right kind of motivation for a good response. Have literally had this ask in my drafts for WEEKS.

It took some work to get the girls all settled, what with their anxieties about human-sized people and having to prep for Oka’s pregnancy, but with winter coming down with a vengeance, they’ve really appreciated the fact they aren’t stuck outside. Of the three, Meera seems to have taken to the so-called ‘domestic approach’ the best, though that might be due to Bahadur’s willingness to share the kitchen with her alchemy supplies. They chatter at lot about how potions and recipes work in very similar ways, and Bahadur had mentioned he really admires Meera’s patience, since he can’t imagine cooking with a missing arm and only one eye.

I’ve seen Halim speaking with Oka and Meera quite frequently lately, and I have a feeling he’s just as excited as they are to have a baby bones in the house. He keeps asking me to borrow baby naming books and medical texts from the library when Key and I go out shopping, and I had to remind him that our local branch has borrowing limitations on our shared account ever since he forgot to return a textbook on medical prosthesis. 

That being said, if you have any knowledge or advice on helping an elemental bitty give birth, Halim would definitely appreciate it. I’m a bit too squeamish about specific bodily fluids to be much help.

“Mmm? Oh!”

Cell sat up from where they had occupied one of the larger couches, paperwork spread across the cushions in varying states of disarray, and hesitated a moment with a packet in each hand before setting both aside on the arm, carefully maneuvering up from the mess of papers. Idly patting at their jeans, they approached the fire monster with a smile, trying not to stare at the small sparks that seemed to be fluttering around the monster’s flaming hair.

I did! I just haven’t had the chance to really dedicate the time needed to properly respond. With the ongoing rps, I already have a general idea of what’s going on and who’s doing what, I’m still working on figuring out how to handle these fiery darlings.

Quite alright!

Anyone in need is welcome here at the Sanctuary, no matter their background or their current situation. We’ll have to set up a space for them like we’ve done for Pocket, where they can feel safe and secure away from the rest of the house, and I know Halim will want to give all three of them a medical check. He’s big, but he’s very gentle and very kind, they’ll have nothing to worry about from him.

Here’s the Residents: https://stillheresanctuary.tumblr.com/residents

I think this version of a theme might not have the links working right on mobile, I’m working on it.

Oof, I know where they’re coming from. A couple of the Sanctuary residents came from similar situations.

(Found the fic, thank you! It’s a super cute little romantic one shot, I love it!)

I’ve heard of elemental based bitties before, but I’ve never heard of these types... Though, admittedly, my knowledge is proving to be much more sparse than I ever thought, what with Dream Lamias and miniature deities running around. Thank goodness I’ve got such a fantastic crew to help me out!
