so @lilyblackdrawside and i were discussing how the heck manticore sleeps with that massive scorpion tail...
sleeping on her stomach feels like it'd be uncomfortable, and it'd just leave her tail to drape off the bed. i didn't think a standard mattress could be modified to accommodate her comfortably (boring a hole in the damn thing ain't exactly feasible, yk?)
so lily suggests that, rather than a traditional bed, she'd have a heated sandpit.
IMAGINE IT
lightly knocking on her dorm door with "hey manti, you awake?", u poke your head in and take a look... the sandpit in the corner appears to be empty. but suddenly the sand begins to stir and shift, and the two little headwings and tip of tail poking out fizzle into view...
she half-crawls out all sleepytired and rests her chin on the edge (i don't imagine she's a morning person), eyes crusted with sand and not at all ready to get up anytime soon. IT'S FUCKIN CUTE AAAAAAAUUAOIUEOHGOAHIGHSPAFH
also! consider the following:
Awwww. OK, following on from that drabble I just wrote about Hector talking with Jaheira and Karlach about the Cazador stuff... if we click on Jaheira she has a little situational dialogue with Astarion!
"They say that the only thing a vampire can feel is hunger. Nothing else touches them - not grief, or mercy. Or any sense of what is just."
"Do they? Well, there must be something to it then."
"Careful, Astarion. Despite your every effort to the contrary, I am in danger of thinking you might be a good man."
