ignore teh typoes

The first draft of this had much, much more crying and sobbing in it.

Anyway, my Lamb's biggest fear is ending up like the Bishops, cold and uncaring for their followers and using them only to grow in power.

They're definitely gonna be weird about it.

---

Whether The Lamb was manipulating her or not, she would let this terrible monster have the win tonight, as a wedding gift.

Taking a deep breath, Heket leaned against the counter.

"Don't deserve it."

"You're right about that. You worked the whole reception. Make the others clean this up."

"No, I mean…why I don't…" She swallowed the pride blocking her throat. "I don't…deserve a…relationship."

The Lamb looked confused for a moment before what she meant clicked inside their little lamby brain.

"Why?" They asked with a careful tone.

Heket's shoulders sagged.

"Couldn't …keep…family together…or safe…" She mumbled. "I failed…them. How could…anyone want…me? "

She expected some meaningless reassurances and faux clemency from The Lamb, the same she would get if she ever admitted that to her brothers or Shamura, but instead The Lamb exclaimed in a shocked tone, "Bitch, what?!"

Ignoring her surprise, The Lamb continued, "That's bullshit! So many people here want to put their faces between your tits or your thighs." They slapped their chest. "Myself included! If Narinder wouldn't break open my ribcage and eat my heart and lungs while I was still alive for it, I'd ask to put my face there, too!"

She cringed, unconsciously covering her chest with her arms and pressing her legs together.

They blushed. "Sorry, but it's not my fault three out of five of your family members are hot."

"Evil Pokémon tend to do Evil Things--LIKE MURDER!" "That's profiling. I don't love that..." is one of those ear worms that lives rent free in my head, right next to "I burnt down a school, but at least I'm not racist!" from the Friendlocke.

Bonus queer headcanon drawings and rambly stuff below

After looking at a sheep's skull, it's just part of the skull's seam or whatever.

It's an eye, apparently.

I stopped working on another comic to sketch this out because Kallamar's "My partners tell me I taste delightful" line made me snort when I thought of it.

Narinder made The Lamb eat the hearts, in part, because he thought it would hilarious to watch through the crown.

It was.

"Shepherd, your friend is disgusting and makes poor life choices."

"Yeah, I'm well aware..."

Two of the new canonical they/thems characters and a gaggle of the old.

Bonus non-ghost color verison:

Fun fact! My first headcanon for them was that Chazaq was bisexual and Koka was his very supportive straight wife.

Then the short came out and now they're both bisexual.
