Eliksni young

Baby Eliksni have weak legs but very strong arms and can climb most sheer surfaces within a few hours of hatching

Anyone who stands still too long in the communal nursery will be swarmed. Babies love climbing adult Eliksni best, for food and attention

The Eliksni have a saying, “One to whom it is easy to cling.” It’s used as a battlefield insult to lazy comrades

On board ship, being easy to cling to is seen as a good thing. Eliksni adore their young and parenting is shared

Mothers have the least to do with the hatchlings, but spend more time with the young once they’re old enough to learn basic battle training

Once Captains grow large enough from ether they’re able to produce a very deep purr. The young Eliksni adore this

It’s not uncommon to find Captains in the nursery asleep in a chair with dozens of hatchlings nestled in the folds of his cloak, especially after a hard battle

A favourite game is a Captain or high-ranked female going about their business pretending they don’t know they have dozens of hatchlings clinging to their garments

Anyone who encounters a fellow Eliksni like this plays along. Sometimes the hatchlings transfer to a new Eliksni, who also pretends not to notice them

The Kell usually refuses to play unless it’s a celebration day, when he or she strides into the nursery and announces “I SEE NO HATCHLINGS HERE” which is the cue to s w a r m t h e K e l l

The Kell then visits every one of their Captains who complement him on his impressive “armour”

so apparently some people feel like it’s annoying when someone engages with a lot of stuff from the same person, like going through their ship tag and liking all the content there. 

hearing about this, i was immediately paranoid about reblogging literally anything from anyone i don’t talk to on a regular basis.

so to save others from the same paranoia, i’m gonna say that if you like every single post on my goddamn blog it is okay. i might be kind of concerned about your level of time management, going through 23,000 posts, but it wouldn’t bother me. 

I need to make myself perfectly clear: I Do Not pay attention to the activity notifications on my dashboard unless someone replies to or reblogs and adds to a post I’ve made. If you go on a liking/reblogging spree through my blog, there is an 80% chance I won’t even notice. The other 20% is me noticing, going “huh, cool, you go little dude” and then forgetting two minutes later.
