walks in with a tinx on their shoulder, absolutely thrilled to be there.
"Hello! I came here to ask if Soda Pop, a honey bo, was still up for adoption? A friend mentioned him."
"Pop pop new frends!" The tinx all but purred.
"Also, I've come to check for any chains that might want to come along? No pressure on them"
(I hope I did this right)
*Your visit to the Lamia (and Felid) Bittybones Adoption Center is a little bit different than most. You'd been talking with Miss Vex about the possibility of adopting a full-sized Honey Bo named Sodapop, and she thinks he's finally ready to be placed in a new home. She's been showing him your messages, and he is looking forward to your visit and possible adoption.
*You're nervous about introducing Sodapop to your energetic Tinx, and it turns out Sodapop is a bit nervous as well. He's made a friend in the shop that he doesn't want to leave behind. You and Sodapop head to the meet and greet room to relax on some beanbag chairs and talk. You show Sodapop your drawing tablet, and he watches as you begin to sketch him while Tinx explores his hoodie pocket. You're so distracted by your artwork that you don't notice Sodapop subtly nodding towards you.
*Being a Chain isn't easy. You spend your life looking for that oh-so-perfect SOUL bond, then hope that the person with the compatible SOUL wants to bond with you. That might not be a problem for most charming Chains, but this Chain hatched a bit different. The very end of his tail is curled into a little circle, and he's worried that nobody will want to SOULbond with a weird Chain.
*The Chain grew up around Sodapop, and the pair of lamias have become close friends. Sodapop's potential adopter even has a compatible SOUL! The Chain is just worried that Sodapop's new owner won't want him when they see his tail. The Chain is so preoccupied that he doesn't notice you noticing him. You've felt the tug on your SOUL since you entered the shop, and you're curious about the mystery Chain who hasn't made an appearance yet.
*Exasperated, Sodapop slithers off of his beanbag and goes to collect his friend. The Chain shouldn't have worried. You reach out to him immediately with only a glance at his odd tail. His skeletal phalanges touch yours, and the bond settles. Sodapop breathes a sigh of relief, and Tinx chirps out: "Two frends!!" Two friends for your Tinx, and two new lamia bitties for you.
