Sorry if I’m being rude

Umm… it didn’t go as planned…

(though, since she can barely speak, she just does the grabby hands and has pleading eyes)

(please, keep in mind that her Mapa, my Shamura, is nearby and if your Shamura wants nothing to do with Lily, to please hand her off to them)

Shamura sees this as a favorable opportunity to train the impressionable— especially tiny spiderlings.

They won’t admit they enjoy child rearing

Carrion was enamored by the lights at the store, and Erastrus couldn’t say no. Now, they can stargaze at any given time.

I’m getting way ahead of myself, but I have such lore for these two, but I’ll offer a summary of its/their situation:

Carrion is the ichor that eventually inhabits an imbued body. Naturally, the body wears, so Erastrus has to maintain this by collecting skin grafts from the graveyard. Sometimes when Carrion gets too excited, it bursts through its seams. Being that it never had a body prior, it’s a very difficult adjustment. In a cramped space, they’re learning how to control their body while they feel sensations and texture for the first time. It tends to get terribly overstimulating. Their skin is incredibly sensitive and often becomes excruciating. They live with chronic pain, which certainly has an impact on their relationship.

Carrion likes singing, and stargazing when their pain allows it.

Below are concept sketches I made to get a sense of Carrion’s corporeal form (cw nude)

Taking Loch on some urban exploring! They might as well make content out of it if something spooky doesn’t get them 😱
