Ugh~💜 Peri is so daddayyy~

More WIPs of Peri in human form with his godkid Dev.

He feels like he’d dawn Ivy League/preppy style in human form. Lots of oxford shoes, leather mules, rolled up fitted button downs, and relaxed wool coats & sweaters.

I want these two getting back together and (mostly Dev) working things out in season 2.. 💕
