*Vex welcomes you into the shop. You’re here to adopt a miniature King. You really like the King lamia bittybones, but a full-sized one would be a bit much. Big things come in small packages though, and you soon discover that a smaller-sized King is just a concentrated version of all of the showmanship of the full-sized version, just compressed into a smaller bitty.

*The miniature Kings stand at full attention when they see you looking at them. They bow and flare their small hoods, twisting into interesting poses to display the markings on the underside. They playfully tussle, with each King taking a turn “losing” the “battle” to give his fellow King a chance to be the victor.

*Once the feat of strength and battle prowess is complete, each King carefully strikes a pose. No two poses are the same, and each King freezes in his pose while you look them over. How can you choose just one? They’re all adorable… erm… impressive.  As you walk down the line, peering closely at each King, one of them squints in concentration and very slowly manages to wave/flap his hood at you.

*The extra effort wins you over instantly. You pick up the little hood-flapper and carry him to the front desk to fill out his adoption papers.

He growls at her, the screaming in his head getting louder and louder, begging for mercy. He snaps his head 180 degrees behind before his neck turns another 180 degrees to look back at her. He hisses.
