Got thinking of mallemil after a long while.
Specifically, Malleus just kinda casually asking Jamil and Emi if they're interested in a third.
Cue Jamil and Emi both just, short-circuiting.
(Gym sprite mostly because I couldn't easily find other ones with the right pose / expression combo, oop. Emi there in spirit since I don't have sprites for her different moods alas.)
Like... it sure would be a process, for both of Emi & Jamil, to come to grips with that bombshell.
Especially when Malleus convinces them just how honest he's being about it, how interested and willing.
But also the effort it would take from all of them so that the arrangement doesn't end up just as Malleus Draconia the sugar daddy and the humans under his protection, but actually feels as equal as they all need it to be.
Tiny ass post but guess I'll tag the Emi peeps anyway (hello hi still alive even if I've been kinda mia here)
