Thought this comic was fun, so not gonna wait too long to put it here too! I wanted to draw Brei, then thought it'd be fun to have him interact with lamia Iolite and thought of some activities they could do, and this one ended up sounding too fun to not do. He'd love normal Iolite for how genuine she was and how she wouldn't be using a relationship with him for status or bragging rights or money or planning to betray him and run, and her being as strong as him would be interesting to him too, but with Snekolite being many times stronger than he was he'd recognize how terrifying she could be but also respect her personality, and I thought it'd let him chill out and be more himself since he wouldn't have to impress anyone or try to act tough or leaderly. Also for context I imagine they're just buddies in this AU where she visits sometimes and he tells her stories and she tells him he should be nicer to some people. Was also neat showing that Snekolite's a little more mature than normal since she'd have to do more things herself with the support of bird Kris and bird family :3

Also made me realize that Snekolite's just bigger in general, her humanish half is a little bigger than Kei!
