Sawtooth Spire how to make a homemade mummy: get a corpse, get gauze, get comfy

set after this or whenever wylla brings him to their den!

there was an infiltrator.
no, worse yet: a milk burglar.
as the much younger skarp nestled into her mama’s belly, in her favorite spot she herself was now too big to cuddle up against, a newfangled emotion rose like a pheonix from the ashes of her confusion of his being there in the first place.
jealousy.
its sensation plying at her heart was different from coveting a plaything thade had found, or the envy she felt when mama or papa busied themselves with thade’s hysterics or some other crisis and she wanted them to be playing with her. 

this felt like an overcast day in her guts. it certainly wasn’t like the butterflies when da tickled her, or the pinch of hunger. this was more like lightning striking her nerves like they were treetops and wind tousling her until she was fit to turn into a typhoon. her discomfort’s dowsing rod crossed directly over the brood parasite.
cowbird child.

phaedra watched him with a face like a wet weekend from the corner of the den. she could only see him dimly (partially from glaring), but she knew this wasn’t @Thade, because her brother was podgy and it didn’t smell like him. maybe mama had another baby inside all this time and he was just now joining them? she still didn’t like it. in fact, she liked it so little, she became very needy. with a rosary of pitiful whimpers round her throat, she scuttled over to @Wylla and levered her body beneath the woman’s chin, overall over-achieving at the medal for world’s biggest attention hog. 

when she got bored of that, or rather, when wylla didn't pluck the orphan from her tit and defenestrate it, the emotional child got a little more emotional and a little less civilized with the way she went about things. toddling over to the milk trough, the kobold incarnate huddled in close to @Astraeus and feigned nursing, though it wasn't long before she began trying to elbow and menace him off her property with shoves of her head and possessive growls.
