First art post of 2025 and with a two-year-old story!

Lavender grew up with the deep fear of monkeys(not primates, like chimps) due to an incident that took place when she was eight years of age. During a family visit to a traveling menagerie, Lavender was bitten by a sick macaque and got extremely ill as a result. Of course, Lavender's parents and twin brother were infuriated by this occurring due to negligence by an attendant. So as a result, this landed Lavender in the hospital for a solid month, as the infection from the macaque bite tended to make the poor girl fluctuate from feeling well enough to take on her daily allotment of lessons, to feeling so sick she couldn't concentrate.

During this one-month stay, she had a near-perpetual streak of nightmares about rabid monkeys jumping to bite her more, so these lessons and frequent visits from family were what temporarily led her away from these nightmares, which Lavender still remembers today.

She grew up with this fear of monkeys deeply ingrained in her, because of an incident that could have easily been noted and contained, had it not been for a negligent animal attendant. Fortunately, her family got their much-needed compensation from the attendant and the owner of the menagerie.

Wanderer found himself slumped against the wall once more. Didn’t you promise him eternity? Didn’t you just promise that you’d go on that trip to the desert together? 

Stupid, he cursed himself, so utterly stupid. 

Of course you wouldn’t stay. Why would you? There was no way you’d stay with someone so broken, so… inhuman, like him. If you’d really meant your promise, then… then why, just why, would you have gone off to Caravan Ribat on your own? And why would you have smiled so brightly at– what was her name again? Barack? Rahabak? See- if her name was already such a mouthful, surely her voice would equally give one an earful, right?

…Right…?

He hated this. Wanderer hated how easily you forgot your promises– just as easily as you breathed. He abhorred how easily you forgot him, and everything you’d both done together. How could you proclaim your love for him to the whole world, and then take it back so casually? And he absolutely detested that the way his heart (did he even have one?) sank to the pit of his stomach was exactly the same as when he fell from the Shouki no Kami.

I see how it is.

“...Traitor.” It comes out soft, unsure. 

He grits his teeth, clenching his fist. 

“Traitor.”

And thus came about his fourth betrayal.

the figure by the window heaves a heavy sigh. tap, tap, tap. the figure turns towards you, her silhouette illuminated by the moon’s glow. Tap, Tap, Tap. she clicks her tongue, lavender eyes boring into yours. “well, what do we have here?” TAP. TAP. TAP. “i believe i once told you to fix your mess, miss mhie.” she turns back to gaze out the window. “don’t make me say it twice.”

now who the hell sent me this ominous message . . .

"why is everything blank? i was so sure i just fixed the detector's scanning module..."

mhie sighs, and closes the rectangular object in her hand. said object does so with a slight thud.

"well... that can be done later."

subconsciously, she fiddles with that lotus pin by her chest. it comforts her, somehow.

(these headaches are getting worse.)

It's little Miss Lavender here! Yet another sketch that got the mouse-artist treatment, because I officially have the mojo to do digital art again after battling artblock.

Normally, my own mother had never celebrated this day. But this one hit me differently. With a child almost a year old and knowing that his own mother knew best… I was moved, almost to tears!

Happy Mother's Day! Lavender is so moved by this year's Mother's Day, because she knows that even if it doesn't seem like much, Sage loves her and appreciates her motherly ways!
