It was easy, sometimes, to forget Thistle was human.
Or if not human, mortal. With actual limits that had actual consequences if crossed. Limits that for whatever reason she was afraid to admit, whether by ignorance, the desire to avoid appearing weak, of the thought that they would think of her any less if she asked for a chance to rest.
She would push and push and push until she couldn’t push any more, going past the point of emptiness until she shut down completely and collapse in an undignified heap.
After that first instance with the Drath, they came prepared. When she woke up they would tease her until they knew she was blushing even with the hood, admonish her gently, and encourage her to keep doing her best, to trust them as much as they trusted her.
Maybe someday she actually would. But until then, they were ready.
Yes I posted them all individually already But here's them all in one post I'd do the mysterious glowy finger guns while appearing out of nowhere figure but we don't know much of anything about them...yet Tidbits behind making them: Main four: okay so Brent and Orrig may not actually fit the green/purple oni descriptions. However, Lyra and Thistle fit red and blue fairly well and I didn't want to reuse them, so the boys got the secondary oni colors Thistle: so many varieties of lily. Soooooooo many. Blue oni Lyra: she knows martial arts, though so far they haven't been shown. Red oni Brent: headcanon that he can play bagpipes, and play them well. Purple oni Orrig: has a Russian accent but wears samurai armor. His topknot brought this about. Green oni Gwen(dolyn): two-faced, a spider web that, when broken, reveals the spider Wu: sorry, couldn't help myself with his sacred form. Wu hu! https://ko-fi.com/kitalphahart
Struck by inspiration from this page of one of my favorite webcomics EVER, Daughter of the Lilies. Written and drawn by MegSyv! Someone: "Hey, girl! What'cha drawing? A young version of Orrig? That's awesome!" Me: "It's a nameless NPC from chapter 7." Someone: "..." Me. "He's purdy."
I See you there
Well played.
Lyra: I yeeted myself out of bed this morning.
Thistle: Oh worm? Like, on Gods?
Brent: Absolutely superb you funky little lesbian.
Orrig: I know so many languages, but this isn't one of them.
