"It didn't come on my xBox!"

"Oh? I can just download it?"

"I didn't think I could do that!"

"Chocolate milk is my specialty!"

"Awesome! Thank you!" Without thinking, he throws his arms around Briar in a hug.

Orion was staring at his own reflection, his face almost seeming to be twisted in disgust. Looking at himself made him feel sick. "I..." is all he can manage before turning away, pale in the face as he threw a sheet over the mirror.

He's walking to the store, a leashed crab following behind him and a large tarantula nestled amongst his messy hair.

((Pets Orion has: A tarantula named Lady Spiderella A pair of hedgehogs named Spike and Reginald A crab named King A pair of fish named Sunny and Cher And he had an axolotl named Butterscotch and a parakeet named Jeffrey, but Orpheus ate them.))

He blinks a few times, caught off guard. "Wait-?" is all he can manage.

He tilts his head, staring curiously. "You can pet Lady S if you wanna, she won't bite!" At that, the tarantula waves a hairy leg at the bug.

Orion grins widely, a cheerful hum leaving him. "I like bugs, too! Especially spiders like Lady S! They're so cute with their fuzzy widdle legs and their shiny widdle eyes!"

"Bugs are important to me too! That's so cool!" He grins brightly, absolutely beaming. "Lady S, especially! She's my best friend! Like having an eight-legged puppy!"

"Hey! Yeah, yeah, you!" He points at the reader with an affirmative nod. "If no one's told you today, you are absolutely amazing. You're beautiful and perfect just the way you are! Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise."

He nods happily. "Yes! You!"

*he sets out a plate of fresh fruit slices* *there's a sign on it that reads "for our six-legged little friends"*

*he offers a plate of fresh fruit to @TheFearedInsect*

"What if I opened a park with dinosaurs...?"

I saw a rat at the Manor! ..... I wonder if I can befriend it? I wanna keep it as a pet!

He's laying face down on the floor of the Manor, fanning himself with his wings.
