No need to ask, just pop your character in!(Seriously, don’t ask.) If they aren’t fully humanoid though, can you please give a short description for interactions? Thanks!
(My character looks like a snake with legs, like if you cut off her legs she would just be a snake. She has green scales and brown stripes, and is about three-four feet tall. The young ones around her are very tiny, the size of small dogs.)
Tiak lay on the ground, watching the five little Skarlings jump and play around. They had yet to realize the danger they could all be in, in this strange forest.
Griffin lay outstretched on a tree limb, enjoying the daytime while it lasted. He ran his hands through his scruffy black hair, humming to himself quietly. He then jumped down, landing on all fours. Griffin soon stood and began to wander.
Tiak looked up as she heard Griffin jump down, and stood, moving closer to her young Skarlings. Akra, Tor, Sekn, and Kla noticed the figure as well, and ran to stand closer to their mother, while the youngest, Mio, just looked at Griffin inquisitively.
Runner was simply laying on the ground, staring up at the sun. Why he was doing this was kind of hard to tell, but this is Runner we're talking about here. His hair waved gently as a breeze rolled over, making it seem like it was its own creature that was just living off of Runner's brainwaves and not a part of his head.
Mio, a tiny brown male Skarling(Skarlings are baby Skarmin), bravely crept up to Griffin, his talons making almost no sound on the grass. Tiak watched nervously, ready to jump in and intercede if Griffin hurt Mio.
Griffin froze. He looked nervously at Mio and the rest of his family, cautiously crouching down.
"H-hey there, little guy," he managed, his voice uneasy. He was preparing himself for Mio to attack, for any-or all-of them to attack, and only then would he react with hostility.
Mio crowed gleefully, and with a thrust of his front legs reared up onto his sturdy hind legs, his front talons flawling adorable. It looked like he wanted to play. Tiak held her breath, her heart pounding. She wanted to run over there and grab Mio, but knew that this was a learning experience, so held back.
Griffin laughed, smiling softly. "Hi, there!"
He reached around in the grass, still looking at Mio. His fingers wrapped around a small stick, which he held up and toyed with it, making it jump between his hands a few times before tossing it in the air for Mio.
Mio did a frickin’ backflip, twisting in the air and landing gracefully on his front talons, before making a dash for the stick. His four siblings followed quickly, and they all tussled with the stick, it snapping easily in their strong jaws.
Griffin laughed, standing up, only to finally see Tiak. He tensed, slowly backing away from the Skarlings.
"I'm…sorry, I didn't mean to-" Griffin swallowed, his eyes darting around for an exit.
Tiak sat back down, her expression guarded but not quite angry.
"Uh, h-hi? I'm…Griffin." He was hesitant to move, and nervous beyond belief. Griffin cleared his throat. "I didn't know you resided here. Can you speak?"
“Hello, Griffin.” Tiak said this absentmindedly, watching her Skarlings tussle.
(Tolkalee is an elf, he has short yellow blonde hair and dark blue eyes. He's wearing a royal purple hoodie that hides his quiver and bow. He also has chainmail under it as well. He has a curved dagger strapped to his leg. He's wearing tan cargo pants.)
Staying low in the brush, Tolkalee watched the encounter. He wasn't big on talking to people he didn't know. He also wanted to make sure these creatures weren't going to tear him apart when he made himself known.
"Uh, hi. These are your…children? They're cute." Griffin didn't know how to make it seem normal that he was meeting with a snake-like species who could talk, but he tried.
Tiak nodded solemnly, grinning with pride on the inside.
"So you've been living here? All by yourselves? Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure you can handle yourselves, but…" Griffin's voice trailed off, and he found it easier to watch the Skarlings than look at Tiak.
Tiak growled slightly. Griffin’s words hit a soft spot, but she reasoned that he was probably more referring to having to take care of the five Skarlings alone.
“Actually, we haven’t. Normally we are part of a pack. This morning, I fell asleep with all my little ones and when I woke up, I was here.”
"I'm…sorry. I didn't know. I couldn't have known, really." Griffin sighed. So much for a normal day…
(I won’t be on Notebook until Monday or Tuesday as my family is going camping, so don’t expect any replies for the next two-three days)
(Okay! I'm not usually active on the weekends, and I can't be on next Friday (plans.) I hope that's okay with everyone!)
