I saw the latest Reindeer Reader ask and now I gotta ask about Orca Eclipse's reaction to their antlers shedding. When reindeer antlers come in and are growing they have a soft fuzzy velvet on them. The velvety stuff on the horns is what brings the nutrients to the horns and make em grow. So when their at max size the reindeer will shed the velvet and make their horns nice and smooth. The act of shedding however, as one of my teachers put it is something that looks out of a horror film. The velvet has blood vessels in and and the whole thing looks a tad gory. Doesent hurt at all but it's quite the sight to see.
The blood and velvet all stripping off in gory pieces would alarm Orca!Eclipse, to say the least. Y/N gives no reaction otherwise, and he perhaps wonders if you've gorged another creature with your antlers and hadn't bothered to clean up the entrails. Of course, you find the stripping of velvet a bit long and overdue, but when Eclipse asks what on earth is happening, you calmly explain while peeling one piece off and tossing it to the side. Eclipse is not shy about blood or butchery, but he does ask you if it hurts. You tell him no. He's revealed.
He'll then ask you if he might strip the remaining velvet pieces off. You allow him to do so—gently, of course.
