Around 2 years ago, I posted "Sleep Tight":/images/2677534, which is perfect timing on my part! My "personal headcanon":/images/2171564 is that it takes baby changelings about 2 years to learn to express their love and transform from black & white larve to a more colorful form.

So, here's Coxal with her roomies! Coxal herself has grown and changed since I started her story, and so have the babbies.

From left to right:

Dewdrop, indigo & blue - one of the smaller of the bunch, and the shyest

Drone, magenta - often a deep sleeper, loves piggyback rides and playing in the dirt when awake

Cerci, grey-green & gold - kind of a bossy one, but nervous with the unfamiliar

Stemma, bright green - also on the small side, loves looking at plants

Perennial, rosy red & pale green - talkative and curious

Hexa, gold & blue - tries to act like a tiny Coxal, loves to climb all over the Hive walls and tunnels
