I think a full sized Papython and a full sized King would be great additions to the family! I will come by with Chance to meet them. He is a bit nervous, but hopefully he will open up to his new friends. And if there is someone that need special care, or just really needs a home I could consider them too.
*You reassure Chance as you step through the doors of the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center. If he gets uncomfortable, you tell him, then you’ll leave and come back a different time. You also make sure he knows that no new bitties will be adopted unless he is ok with it. By the time you get to the front desk, Chance is still anxious (but he’s a Cherry so that’s normal), but determined to help choose his future companions (and brothers).
*You help Cherry settle into a soft pile of pillows that Vex has placed on the desk, but you’ve barely had a chance to tell Vex what type of lamias you’re looking for when one of the Nurse Papythons rushes out of the Infirmary. The full-sized Papython slithers to a stop in front of Chance and smiles at him warmly. You recognize him as one of the Papythons who helped Chance after the attack. Apparently, this Nurse Papython really missed Chance after you took him home. Chance actually seems happy to see him.
*You want to tell Chance not to get his hopes up. You know Vex doesn’t usually adopt out the Nurse Papythons, but Vex is holding out an adoption form with a little smile on her face. “He asked me if he could join your family as soon as we got your matchup,” Vex tells you. “He just waiting for your approval.” You look at Chance. Chance nods. You sign the paper. One down! Vex goes to tell the full-sized Kings that they may begin their displays.
*Full sized Kings slither forward, one at a time, making sure not to overwhelm Chance. You notice that they are keeping themselves in a lowered position and flaring their hoods very slowly. They bow to you, then approach Chance for his scrutiny. Chance is unsure at first, and you worry that the task may be a bit too much for him, when suddenly he perks up. A King has caught his attention. You’re not sure what he sees in this King that he didn’t see in the others, but you find the full-sized lamia to be charming and polite. He will definitely make a good addition to the household.
*You turn to Vex to ask for the King’s adoption papers, and when you turn back to Chance, you see that a third lamia is sitting next to him... and Chance is having a quiet little conversation with that lamia. When the lamia sees you watching, he blushes and half hides behind Chance (quite a feat considering that the miniature Honey Bo is bigger than the Cherry). “I’m surprised,” you hear Vex whisper behind you. “That Honey Bo never socializes with any potential adopters.” You watch as Chance carefully pats the Honey Bo, comforting him. The Honey Bo leans on Chance and visibly relaxes.
*You ask the Honey Bo if he’d like to join your family. He nods shyly. You ask Chance if he’s alright with Honey Bo being adopted too. Chance nods more confidently than he has for anything in the entire time you’ve known him. You sign the additional paperwork, looking over your three new bitties with a smile. You couldn’t have asked for a better trio.
