Hi mama!!! Uppies now

Of course, child.

[Flealia crouches down, opening her arms.]

[mythical-mother-flealia]

ffh.... I've been... Asleep for some time, once more.....

How long has it been..?

[c-rowlesdraws]

Varishkava! I adored the flea caravan from the moment I met them--they're a cheerful light in a dark world. Way before I knew anything about Act III, I could imagine them inviting their new warrior friend to set down her weapon and enjoy their company and hospitality awhile before rushing off again on her quest.

And feeling inspired by the bug food other people have come up with in art and fics, I had to draw some, too. Everything here is made with blood--they're fleas!--and I think they'd mostly eat foods that keep well for traveling, with fresh-made foods as more of a special thing.

(also these drawings are set pre-Kratt because he'd spoil the vibe)

[mythical-mother-flealia]

An egg appears on Mother Flealia's head.

It seems lost.

It seems to be waiting for someone.

It does not know who.

It points in the direction of Seth., directly behind where he usually sits.

Or, it looks like it could have pointed. An egg doesn't have arms.

After all, it is just an egg.

!!!

[Flealia picks up the egg, careful to not let it fall. She tilts her head, turning to stare at Seth.]

[mythical-mother-flealia]

How much do you think you know about the rest of Pharloom?

Not quite enough to venture out. I know a minority of common bugs that the caravan would encounter, yet not much else to the threats of these lands.

[mythical-mother-flealia]

*In the distance, you see what seems to be a very young flea, barely fully fluffy. It sits there on a rock, seemingly upset.*

@best-weavenest-obviously

[Flealia gently walks over to the small flea, afraid she would spook it]

Are you alright little one..?

[best-weavenest-obviously]

*As you get closer the flea seems to have more of a, blue tint.*

[mythical-mother-flealia]

......?

[best-weavenest-obviously]

*You can see right through it, like a pane of stained glass.*

[mythical-mother-flealia]

Small flea..? I haven't... seen anything like this before...

[best-weavenest-obviously]

*It dissappears, leaving once realising it had been seen.*

[mythical-mother-flealia]

.....

Curious.

.............Wuh?

[mythical-mother-flealia]

[Varga approached, in awe.]

Big flea... Is flealia? Have only heard of you in story.

@caravan-varga

Correct, flea-kin. You are the last one of the caravan to notice, I believe.

[caravan-varga]

I hope Little Fleas are not bother. They make play in lake, sometimes splash others.

And why you call me flea-kin? I am as much flea as Grishkin!

[mythical-mother-flealia]

I call you flea-kin because you are a flea as well as kin.

The small fleas are no annoyance, their energy is quite fun.

[Flealia saw a walking shadow tumble out of Putrified ducts into Fleatopia. It held a jarred Spit Squit.]

eugh... i dont like the ducts too much...

@collector-of-pharloom

..!

[Flealia strides over to the shade, pausing a few feet in front of it.]

Hello, bug-shadow! I believe you share the same sentiment with most bugs that travel here. Are you injured?

[collector-of-pharloom]

Not in a way that matters. This little bug here is quite violent, spitting acid everywhere... I just need to get it to a better home.

[The Collector stood up.]

Ive never seen a bug like you before! What are you?

[mythical-mother-flealia]

I am a flea, alike the many others you will find in this caravan.
