Yesterday:

Tera: "You know Lucy, if you were male, or if we hadn't taken to calling you Lucy so nobody confused your gender, you definitely would have been stuck with the moniker 'Lunchario' or 'Yumcario' by now."

Lucy: "I. . ." *blushes* "You don't know that. . ."

Tera: "Well, think about it. You ended up in this family to begin with because you got vored by Jade. While you were trying to hide in Deva's pouch (which, to many, counts as vore). And you were only one of three to ever get vored by 'Furfrou', and the only one to wind up so accidentally. And all the many times we haven't talked about when you ended up inside Jasper, Deva, Verity, Tracy, Pyroar, Windstar. . . Wait, is there anyone you haven't been vored by?"

Lucy: *sigh* "Just the fish. . . And, if it counts, the egg. And yes, I get it, I'm a disgrace to Lucarios everywhere."

Tera: "Well I wouldn't call you a disgrace. You've been a good friend, and I'm sure you'll be a wonderful mother. But if it bothers you so much to be at the bottom of the proverbial food chain, the answer is simple: Practice, practice, practice."

Lucy: "Pra. . . Tera, I don't know if I'm the predatory ty-"

Tera: "Well, okay, then practice not being the prey type. Deva set up a training area -- don't be afraid to use it. At least go a few rounds with the training dummy -- even I do that when I can."

Today:

Tera: "Hey Lucy. Just thought I'd check in and. . ." *sigh* "Lucy? I don't think that's the training dummy."

Maractus: "Sure she is. I'm training in ways to cuddle without pricking. Also, how did you know my last trainer named me Lucy?"
