When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
Anna rapped her fingers on her own stone cup, suddenly very interested in its contents, her spouse picking his head up, his messy sandy colored hair looking like bedhead.
"Go on, tell her you're crazy," the leopard teased.
Iro's spouse shot him a glance again, but Set, curled up next to Shuule, listened with interest, placing a hand protectively on the fox's shoulder.
"Well, you aren't wrong that it's not customary to invite others to live in your own home," Anna said, calculated at first. "But for one, this is a special case. I have such a large house, it's no trouble. Secondly, I... want a friend. My mother goes on and on about having Qingqing as a best friend while she was here, but I've never had the opportunity. Women are fairly stand offish with me."
Neither of those points were lies. Nobody else besides the King had a castle, and between Anna's life being so structured growing up living under the King as her adopted father, the jealousy that came w

There wasn't much to say after Anna's explanation, not enough time to consider it without being awkward. Set had no desire to be a ruler, if that's what Anna was hinting at. It was hard enough for the snake to willingly live within a community, and live with other males as spouses of his mate. Ruling over, giving orders, and intimately caring about the needs of thousands of men and women was not something he was probably even capable of.The day had now moved well past noon, and Shuule was starting to tire, still injured, newly mated, and have not eaten much other than the fruit offered. Set remembered her request other than just food -"Is there somewhere I can take Shuule to bathe?" Set asked."Oh! Yes. The city has a waterhole, but we have a stream behind the back door. You two can just use that." Anna was happy to oblige, ushering them to the back. "We also have this- it's a scrub - use it in the stream on your body. You can even use it in your hair." She po
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Noodles and Iron
Shuule and Set slept soundly in their room that night, the first hours of real normalcy that they had both had for days. They were both woken up early, by the sounds of the city coming through their open window."You know you aren't actually obligated to do anything, anymore," Set spoke, trying to coax his spouse back to sleep. "That's the benefit of living here, or not by ourselves. Sleep longer, until the doctor comes."Shuule shook her head, crawling out of his snake coils and getting to her feet. "No, I want to eat real food today, and I want to see the city. And, you haven't eaten at all yet, you have to be comfortable leaving me here with Anna and going to hunt!"Set smiled at the fact that she was worried for him, but snakes could go much longer than a few days without eating. He was opportunistic, and happy to gorge himself when they lived at the cave, because prey was abundant. But he had no plans on leaving Shuule here by herself. The only obstacle he
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing The More I See the Less I Know
Iro got up to open the door, but by scent they were all aware it was Harvey, eager to see how Shuule's wounds were healing."Hello!" Shuule waved from the table, all put licking her bowl clean. Even in her small home village, manners did exist, but they barely did at her cave, so she was starting to slowly remind herself what wasn't acceptable.Harvey's eyes beamed at the girl's enthusiastic welcome, having to stop himself from wagging his tail like a dog. Yesterday had been a lonely day and night. After being so central to many important decisions, he spent his time doing...nothing. Being nowhere, not being of service. He would have been at Anna's house at the break of dawn if he didn't know he would be intruding."I'm glad to see you doing so well!" he exclaimed, though his eyesight suddenly settling on the undeniable, dark snake mark, visible from the top of her clothing. Nearly coughing, he looked up at Set, who was keenly aware of Harvey's eagerness to touc
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Here We Are Now, Entertain Us
"Let me Carry you," hissed Set as the two of them walked out behind Anna and Iro, with Harvey tailing them."I don't want to look like a child," snapped Shuule. Perhaps the honeymoon was already over in twenty four hours, but Set, now on the defense as Shuule had purposely shown support to Harvey, let his jealousy take over, scooping her up off the ground while she growled."SET," overreacting, the fox pinned her ears, and aggravated, bit him on the arm. Anna looked back, alarmed, but her spouse, who had a grip on her hand, kept walking, ignoring them."They're fine," purred Iro. "You're forgetting how we were the first weeks."Iro was correct in this observation - the spousal bond was more than just a mark on the woman's skin. It fundamentally changed behaviors, especially in the men, and they had to figure out how to settle the new urgent emotions that they had. Jealously was normal on a good day, but attached to it was the undeniable need to protect th
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing To Live My Life As It's Meant to Be
Elena and the other woman next to her took a second to register what Anna was even talking about, and then gasped, gripping their tea."Is this....?" the stranger woman asked Anna, staring suspiciously at the fox, who had backed up and curled herself around one of Set's legs.Anna cringed, scanning the women's faces trying to figure out what their next moves would be. "Er.... yes. That's Shuule. And that," she pointed to the three striped male standing squarely on guard, "Is her mated spouse, Set."In his full human form, a male's sense of smell was always good enough to sniff out species, but women didn't have the same ability. To make sure they knew exactly who he was, Set blinked, letting his reptilian pupils dilate into slits.Elena and her friend peered upwards at the dark haired man, gulping, giving him a grim smile, but had nothing else to say."Let's keep going," Harvey requested gently. Happy to oblige, Anna ushered everyone forward down t
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Stolen Clouds
Iro hissed at Harvey's interpretation. "He didn't steal her," he snapped, but Harvey also had his ears pulled back, crouching low to the ground as if he was ready to turn into his leopard."He took the most beautiful female out of the village for himself, and the only remaining bloodline of the Tiger King," the doctor roared. "And don't act like I don't remember that you and your siblings helped him!""An'An?" Set asked, his eyes darting between the two angry leopards. Anna had stepped back to stand next to Shuule, who was watching with curiosity but not concern.Iro, not threatened by the unmarked leopard's aggression, easily turned his gaze away from his spitting opponent to question his snake brother. "How do you even remember her? You were all worms when you were set free."Set diverted his eyes, looking over at his mate, who's nostrils flared. "It doesn't matter," he answered. "Is she dead?!""No, I would think not," huffed Harvey, still raisi
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing We Don't Rest in Peace, We Just Dissapear
The rest of the day allowed Shuule some normalcy, scampering away into the flowers and stalking down a rabbit so she wouldn't feel like a burden being fed by Anna's spouses again. That night, under the moonlight in the room to the left, she lounged in Set's coils back, bare skinned, in her human body, looking at the rabbit's foot she brought back - this one was pink - turning it over in her hands. Her mind wasn't on her souvenir, though, thinking back to Anna in the skystar field in the morning.Not being able to keep his hands out of her hair whenever she let him, Set was brushing her orange tresses back with his fingers in silence while she leaned into his chest."What are you worried about?" He asked quietly."Nothing," Shuule mumbled, still heavily inspecting her lucky foot."You're lying.""How would you know," she hissed back half heatedly."I can feel it. I can feel it because you're sitting on me, but I can feel it inside, too," Set
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing When it Rains on This Side of Town, it Touches Everything
The next morning, Anna and Shuule were fed well by Iro again, another feast that Shuule had never had: fish paste balls and sour oranges. Shuule wasn't very in love with the oranges, but Anna explained that the vitamins in the fruits were supposed to help your immune system - which also had to be explained. As Anna should be going into heat soon, as most of the women in the city, she wanted to be as healthy as possible to give herself the best chance of conception."Iro and I are trying again this year," she explained between bites of the bitter juicy fruit, which she had brought out into the backyard. "One pregnancy in three years is really good, but he deserves a litter so badly, as do all of them. It's so hard thinking about the fact that they may not all get children." She sighed. "And of course Arthur is the one that managed the first litter."Shuule was holding her orange, looking over at Set for help, who was fully in his snake and sleeping. He wasn't going to t
