I've had a revelation
Longan hovering outside your window in PV's Castle while carrying Dragon Eye in their mouth. They assume you are with the mortal because he fulfils your urge to parent with Custard III. The dragon offers their own hatchling. You can only watch Custard cry at the dragon while Pure Vanilla tries to rationalise with Longan. This fails. Shadow Milk realises Longan poses an existential threat worse than the witches and suddenly starts a tentative allyship with PV. Dragon Eye is waving at you.
Hollyberry half debates riding Pitaya into battle if Eternal Sugar attempts to take you. Pitaya is inclined to agree since they are annoyed at a SECOND mortal attempting to take their mate. HB is their exception. ES proceeds to one-shot Pitaya and wave HB over happily.
Golden Cheese and Ananas can shake hands on their islanders/denizens being their most precious treasures. They will fight over you, though. But, it is one out of mutual respect for the other's skills. Burning Spice attempting anything will have him more than six feet under the earth. Neither are playing around with that cockroach.
The intense staring contest between Lotus, Mystic Flour, and Dark Cacao is mortifying. None of them are down for negotiating. All of them want you and will NOT be discussing anything. An attempt to turn Lotus to flour fails. Lotus ponders what is going on with the so-called Dragon Lord who holds his blade far too tightly. The tension between them is palpable in the air.
White Lily, Lychee, and Silent Salt just play cards. Assembly, Lychee is stuck in Mangosteen form and can't really do anything here. White Lily thinks they are just a cute kid. Silent Salt is vibing until their official reveal.
What is happening here....
Adoption...?
All the Beast partners could get together and talk about how they transformed.
Shadow Milk's would complain about how he is annoying and extremely clingy now. Seeing as they were with the Fount of Knowledge, the annoyance over deceit must be high.
Burning Spice's mourns the loss over their husband and how he became truly mad due to the repetition of it all. They also would complain about being abducted and forced back into the badlands.
Mystic Flour's is oddly accepting of her change, claiming they simply missed her too much and understand her teachings far too well. The subtle gushing shocks everyone into silence.
Silent Salt's opts to bite their tongue lest they cause any further problems. They harbour no ill will towards him despite everything that had unfolded.
Eternal Sugar's wasn't allowed to make it, alas.
This is so cruel and unjust.
I must be objective, however.
Son also gets a vote. (And Caramel Arrow would have voted for him anyways lol)
As does husband.
Honestly rethinking it — it would be this more likely:
Longan Dragon ; Pure Vanilla ; Shadow Milk
Pitaya Dragon ; Hollberry ; Eternal Sugar
Ananas Dragon ; Golden Cheese ; Burning Spice
Lotus Dragon ; Dark Cacao ; Mystic Flour
Lychee Dragon ; White Lily ; Silent Salt
First is by leaders of each group.
Second is an already established association.
Third is... radiance? Golden Cheese and Ananas both manipulate earth. Burning Spice is there.
Lotus and MF grant/granted wishes. Dark Cacao is just there.
The last one is by order of elimination lmao.
