I ended up getting distracted with DnD ;w;
Meth's found a Maybe friend in Theodora.

I thirst for the next session :((

Mesmeth holds up a strange looking potion as she looks up questioningly at the taller Theodora. Theodora holds her paw out from her cloak- as if she were surprised and turning her down.

I'd love to get into HK sometime too! I heard it was a really great game

(That idea sounds so cute, honey-based magicks and whatnots! Ree was solitary for some time, but became aggressively protective and smothering when she met and bonded with her Adventuring Party)

Forgot to mention this was made for Day 8!
But yeah, oops. My brain just said "Today was Beetle I think" that time

Ended up not studying a Japanese Beetle because fog brain, and instead did a study on one native to my country. Was a little embarrassed to post it then haha!
