"Truly, they are filled with kindness and love that I don't fully understand. I am very lucky to have them." He picks up their upper body, and they look around with their long neck. "Would you like to hold them?"
"I would be honored." he bows, preparing to take them.
The cat-snake dives into his arms, curling and wrapping around him affectionately. Very warm and soft and wiggly.
He runs a gentle paw over Oris, smiling. "Such a friendly being."

"Well, they need to be loved. Cared for by a mortal. That fulfils them. That's what being a Familiar is. Sometimes, an entire town can have a Familiar. I've always wanted to take one in, but I'm legally required to kill them on sight, so... yeah."
"Care for it. Love it. Make it whole in your arms. It will grant you its powers without question if you give it a life worth living. The life of a Nightmare is... well, a Nightmare, after all."
"Interesting... what's so dangerous about that? Are Nightmares passively corruptive or something?"
She is silent for a while, deep in thought, before she speaks again. "...Could someone do both of those things? Could a Nightmare be a Familiar to someone who's already invited the Sea into their soul?" She asks, sitting down on the shore and watching the waves. "Maybe that way, I could keep my morality and still be as strong as if I had traded it away."
"Well, the thing is, see, they want to reproduce. And that means more Nightmares. Nightmares are stronger than nearly any mortal beast when they have a chance to live and feed, or worse, grow up on the Material Plane. They will wipe out entire ecosystems, or so the folks at NEO say. So we wipe them out, ending their misery and saving taxpayers the eyesore in one fell, morally ambiguous swoop."
"It's never been tested. Most just create more Familiars after being transformed, but those are delegations of power, not increases. Nightmares don't often work together, as we become easier to track when we do, and the odds of more than one being spawned in an area that isn't under constant watch is... low."
"...Ah, that's what's so dangerous. I can understand that- ecological damage is the last thing I want to have happen anywhere. It's a good thing we at least somewhat secured this portal when we did."
"Well, assuming he becomes an Arteist as well, I'd already be working with another Nightmare- adding one or two Familiars doesn't seem like it'd matter much when I'm certain a pair of Arteists would get spotted pretty easily anyway. Besides, we're not planning to cause any trouble- maybe agreements can be reached."

"They can ram with the strength of an icebreaker ship. A war mount with a kind heart is rare, and a supernatural one is even rarer. And they're less picky than even a unicorn!" Oris purrs very loudly, rumbling through Aokiji's armor.

“Nope, let my adrenaline run out, and then you can help.”
“You… you’re my friend… I trust you, and like you, you’re great.”
"Alrighty." he leans back, watching
"I consider you a friend too. You can come to the clinic anytime, okay?" he smiles
Saphuno is stuck with one of each of the eeveelutions.
He does what he can, picking up things and mopping before collapsing back onto the couch.
She crawls over to be face to face with them, smiling back, “Okay… I wish I could do something for you in return.”
Damian watches, he’s definitely jealous though he wouldn’t say this he is for a moment.
Zephyr crawls over to sit in their lap, smiling
"I don't see what, so its okay."
"My dearest husband... I got too many.."
He holds them their, warm arms wrapping around them.
She sighs, lying back down on their chest, “I’ll think of something.”
He raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms, “Did you dear? Would you like my help?”
"How was work?" he runs a claw over their cheek
"If you insist.." his breathing slows
"I certainly would..." she chuckles
He leans into their touch, “Just wad waiting to get home to you the whole time.”
She does hers, yawning softly, comfortable.
He walks over to Saphuno, standing just out of reach with his hands in his hips “What would you like me to do?”
"Aww, that's sweet." he chuckles, licking their nose
"Gonna take a nap?" he asks, smiling
"Help me take them back to their dimension, please."
He smiles, pulling them into a kiss with a smile, “What can I say? That’s just how I feel.”
“I’m just… tired after that adventure.” She closes her eyes, steadily falling asleep.
He walks over, casting Plane Shift on each of them, taking his time.
"I'm glad I precede work." he kisses back, hugging them. "I have a date planned."
He chuckles, casting light shift around them, hiding him and her as she rests
She makes sure she gets to keep the Umbreon, who darts away into a cage.
He hugs then back, “A date sounds fun, of course you precede work, I do my job for the money I make and little more.”
(Good place to end that if you want to. Your turn to pick if you want anyone else.)
He watches the Umbreon run away, keeping his eyes on the creature for a long time before looking back at Saphuno, “Job done.”
"We are going to go to the beach and pick up shells and rocks!" he smiles
(ya gotta go soon, so we'll keep it here for now)
"She'll be back." she gets up and hugs him, peppering his face with kisses.

(Yep, I gotta go soon, nice job learning when I have to leave.)
He sighs as they hug him, taking the kisses as they come, though not as enthusiastically as usually.
(we are creatures of habit. Sorry I dipped for so long was opening early bday presents)

"Okay, why are you being such a sad-sack? is it the fluffy creatures?"
