Instinct rules the nature of most ( if not all ) creatures.  In a scene such as this , confronted by an entity which radiates such WRONGNESS , a wiser animal would heed the advice of such natural inhibitions : do not trust it , RUN⸺ !

This godling is no such creature.  Though born of the wilds , with veins alive of blood which sings the song of divine beasts , they heed not to fear but instead to the CALL OF CURIOSITY , that contemptible recklessness of courage and brazen need to u n d e r s t a n d and be u n d e r s t o o d .  And indeed , this moment is just such a moment where it comes forth ; those sapphire hues wide and awestruck , not a touch of terror to be found.

Thus , there they stand , practically g l o w i n g in anticipation , rife with EXCITEMENT like a wee child gazing upon the grandest sight they’ve ever seen !  Such a characteristic would kill them , they know , but it is a sincere innocence just the same ; for no matter the horror which thinks to greet them , Kaen would take it into their heart with all the love they could muster.  Maude’s warnings and cautions fleetingly cross Kaen’s mind— But forgive them , what is done is done.  And this interest , Kaen speculates from the great entity’s demeanor , seems to go BOTH WAYS .  So they are fool enough to play its game ( or , perhaps , brave enough where none other were afore ) .

Kaen preens a bit at the compliment ( so they think it is ) it pays them , grinning a bit , giggling softly.  ❝ ‘Course Ah’m a little afraid , ❞ They admit , their voice lilted by a heavy , musical accent and playful verve , almost as if t a u n t i n g it , ❝ But tha’s ne’er stopped me b’fore.  An’ Ah’ve ne’er seen anythin’ like ye !  Wha’ ‘re ye ? ❞  It might be a bit much to get answers , but it doesn’t hurt to make an effort to converse with it , either.  They add on , continuing to prattle on eagerly , daring to TAKE A STEP NEARER , ❝ Miss Maude said ye were scary ta’ guests but … Y’re not so bad ! ❞

I’m glad you liked the video! Honestly I love watching videos of people ballroom dancing haha! Yeah, sometimes visualizing clothes can be hard! Also relatable, capturing and drawing certain clothes can be difficult! I do love the way you draw taco though, it’s very impressive and your art is very pretty! :D I honestly don’t draw taco much cause I still can’t draw their hair well since drawing shorter hair is not my strength lol! Also no worries on the speed of replies I always just assume people have stuff they need to do in their lives so feel free to respond whenever! Taco ballroom dance scene might not be written and posted for a while cause I need to finish two different parts in that series of taco fics before I post that one, though who knows when I will finish the other two, one of them is at 23k words and still ongoing lol, but hopefully soon. I try not to give too much of a spoiler but basically it’s a time travel au fic where Draco ends up in the past and in that specific part Tom needs someone to teach him to dance for a mandatory thing for all Slug Club members for Slughorn’s Christmas Party, but he basically lied that he already knew how to dance in front of the Knights of Walpurgis to save face and now he needs someone to teach him to dance who won’t blab to the others that he lied (reason he sort of trusts Draco for this by this point is shown more in the previous parts)

i think the long robes is tripping me up thats why it's harder to visualize it mgfdmgmfdg and thank you!! aww its ok! short hair's hard..i rememberi can't draw boys before because of that LMFAO (and now it's harder for me to draw girls..)

23K WORDS AND STILL ONGOING??? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FEAST SOON T__T please tyt!!! i'll be patient with taco cuz i know i'm also slow with them (unlike dr4rry taco is more personal to me.. i can easily imagine pwp dr4rry and be on my way but taco is full of drama and usually exhausts me)

AND TSKR FOR THE SMALL SPOILER THATS SO CUTE… of course tom would act like he knows what he's doing only to have 0 clue when alone 😭 i hope he forgets that dracos teaching him how to dance and actually just enjoys waltzing with draco while they have idle talk
