WHO: Sheep!
WHERE: The Pasture!
WHEN: 102 Morning-Afternoon!

[HELLOOOO SHEEP, that certainly was a fairly pleasant demon ritual last night! And you know what, aside from one of the moons disappearing (,,,,,), things are going pretty swell!

Until the next morning.

Those who are out in the meadow beyond the fence, may notice that some mist wolves are actually breaking through the mist. You can now encounter wolves just, out there in the meadow. They are slightly weaker not being in their element, but can cause problems all the same.

The fence. . .also, abruptly, starts crumbling. Thankfully, due to the barrier they all created during the kidnapping fiasco, they're still all mostly protected! However, the wolves can slip into gaps from the broken fence. Maybe repair those.

But wait, there's more! One type of fruit tree in every flock suddenly shrivels up, taking that fruit away. You all may decide which one goes bye bye! (but hit up the top comment so I can keep track of it). Any fruit you've harvested for yourself or the food drive already is fine to keep, just any from that particular tree in the future is donezo now.

Finally, random scattered feathers float through the air. Should you touch any, you may experience the following:

Black Feathers - Increased anger, rage, impulsiveness; you may find yourself lashing out violently even to people you like.
Pink Feathers - Increased anxiety, paranoia, depression; even if you try to tell the truth you'll find yourself lying.
White Feathers - Increased loneliness, insecurity, jealousy; you'll find yourself blurting out the truth even if it hurts.

Wack. But hey that's pretty mild all things considered!! EVERYTHING IS FINE AND NORMAL ignore that Stormy has been missing for two days probably and occasionally Blossom flickers in and out of existence.]

[WELL.]

If they want to be in a serious relationship.

Do you want to be?

[now he pauses, as if mentally working out how he feels. why he's jealous.

if what he feels is what he thinks he does. and things leading up to this.

his eyes dart around, avoidant of anyone.]

... Yes.

[Fascinating.]

How did he react when you asked to kiss him?

[... that takes him by surprise for a moment.]

Who told you that?

How would you know he wasn't interested in you, otherwise?

[there's some mental wrestling going on before he speaks, looking away again.]

He started it.

Wait, he kissed you?

Then why do you think he's not interested in you???

[EXPLAIN]

He stopped for a while. Then went with you.

[She has to think about that for a moment.]

...I'm hardly an authority on human behavior, and especially not human courtship customs, so you're gonna have to help me out, here. But...

My perception of humans is that they have a strong desire to feel needed. Do you think that's accurate? Do you want to feel wanted?

[he hardly has to think that over- that's why Acheron is the way he is.

similarly, he's come to desire this as well.]

Yes.

So when's the last time you made Acheron feel needed? When did you last tell him that you want him?

[has to think about that one...

shit is complicated. and their partnership isn't entirely normal even without the weird feelings crap happening.]

... Not sure I have.

Then that sounds like a good place to start, don't you think?

Let him know you want him. Seduce him. Make him feel special.

...Or body-slam him to the ground and establish dominance. That how we do it.

[dear Az you're speaking to a complete (and very sheltered) virgin here-

there's nothing but a puzzled look on his face at the word "seduce"...

then she says something that he can follow.]

I'm more efficient in combat. Won't have a problem getting him to the ground.

Are humans into that sort of thing?

Would getting stomped on make you feel wanted?

[but she suggested it-]

No.

But the first option is confusing.

[She's not a human though?? Courtship methods aren't universal!! ...probably]

How so?

Dunno how to... seduce. Sounds weird.

[Man, she really has no place to be dragonsplaining human courtship rituals to an actual human, but don't they have instincts for this kind of thing???? Evolution just really tells them they need to pair bond but doesn't give them any hints how to do it? Wack.]

Well, what do you want Acheron to do to you? What would make you feel wanted?

Try to think: "if someone wanted to be in a relationship with me, how would I know?"

Would they say, "I want to be in a relationship with you"? Would they ask to kiss you? Would they delicately touch your face or slip their fingers under the hem of your shirt?

[his inability to grasp this probably comes off weird but she's missing a huge chunk of info about being conditioned to solely kill for his father, barely treated as a human. and more like a machine.

so hearing the explanation is very... ????

he awkwardly looks away, because his imagination suddenly gets the better of him while trying to process the suggestions.]

Saying it. That's fine.

[he's more action over words, but in this case getting straight to the point makes the most sense. especially if he isn't sure how Acheron would take such action without warning.]

[Honestly, being treated as property during childhood and having to learn how to be a person from scratch is something they both have in common.]

So start with that?

You could also do stuff like bringing him gifts, of doing small favors for him without expecting anything in return. Do you think you could try that?

[doing favours without expecting anything in return...

he can already hear Acheron's stupid remarks like-- who are you, are you feeling okay???

but... he thinks that isn't so bad to hear as much as he lets on being annoyed at it.]

Yeah. Sounds easy enough.

[if Thistle barn goes up in flames just know it was Bombay that tried to cook.]

[Thistle barn going up in flames is Not Her Problem!]

And you said kissing is important in this kind of relationship too, right?

You said you've kissed before already, but what else? How's your sex life?
