Honestly, I say thunderstorms. (More specifically, the supercell with him and Samhita) - Both Africa and Australia see Storms symbolizing creation, destruction, and the vital gift of life-giving water.

🤔 So one important bit I would like to headcanon, ànd stress is the importance in Samhita’s voice; hearing a Coeurl in your head is odd, but earned when she speak TO YOU. Istrault does NOT control her voice and who she talks to. In fact in ARR she did not talk to anyone at all.

cheat code: Samhita
1. Give him a job, as long as he isnt in the area.
2. Nature, get him outside, far from the city
3. Food, chance he just might be hangry. If not, the other 3.
4. Silence ( just do not fucking talk- AT ALL)
5. Lyse. If all else fails and 1-5 doesnt work.

Is there anything anyone can do to calm your wol / oc when they are annoyed or in a bad mood?

So one thing I did was to explore with Samhita and her, actually, many aspects, but an overarching one is her taste for fine cuisine, or I jokingly call it Conniseur Coeurl or Chef Coeurl. So while humorous, it touches on themes of cooking, cooking itself is a bridge;

Istrault’s lore is basically:
Local feral elezen survives the apocalypse, gets adopted by pirates, and learns he's got dragon in him. Later, acquires an emotionally judgmental murder-cat, and spends the next several expansions arguing with authority figures
Not sure if this counts as #wolqotd , but! Use this as a prompt to badly explain your WOL's lore~

When someone once dismissed Samhita as “just a beast.”
To understand this I dont mean like; as betrayal, as an enemy or being necessarily malicious just...dismissive. careless. ignorant.

Trust me, he wont forget that shit. If dragons can remember the war he can rmember this

What's the pettiest grudge your OC/WoL still holds?

Ohh boy, I had a lot of time to think about this one, and this is a triad. The overlap is between a few scions:
The biggest one so far, I figured in lore, is:
Istrault - Samhita - Ysthola;
The High Wilds - the Sovereign Storm - The Sorceress

This is quite interesting.
does your WoL's skillset overlap with that of one or more of the Scions? how do you navigate that? (e.g. how exactly do they compare with each other? how does it affect their relationship?) #wolqotd

For Samhita? I would say
BLACKBERRY

It's sweet but sharp too, like blood orange, it's got bite to it.
Also blackberries grow on brambles too, in short
"you dont get them without navigating something that can cut you".
Samhita affectionate (in her way) but always edged with danger.

The more my brain imagines Samhita's growth, it's funny;

Feral Samhita: *gnawing on the bones and muscles of freshly killed antelope*

Sovereign Samhita: *prefers her antelope steak lightly sauteed and her raptor meat with crunchy exterior, raw interior*

Istra-> Samhita

Calm- He often calls her by her actual names
Storm / Stormcat- jest, mostly in battle
Queen - teasing her ( it’s respectful by Samhita is fine with this title)
Shadow- respect, when stalking prey
#wolqotd #wolquestion since I'm feeling schmoopy about the two of them again...

Does your WoL have a cute or meaningful nickname for their partner? What about their partner's for them? If it has a meaning, what is it? 🥰

How I like to imagine juvenile Samhita in a box lol 😂

STORMS:

Storms all together become a ritual between both Samhita and Istrault. For Samhita, storms become the familiar. When pressure drops , the charge air crawling aong her whiskers, the way lightning writes paths acros the sky before thunder arrives- she feels early.

Post-HW | Blooming Sapience

The seed of awareness that blooms within instinct; not to override or overlap but to expand, bit by bit. She questions things, she compares herself to other coeurls. Now she has more questions than answers than she had before.

How to offend Samhita easily?
Use scent-soaps. Scented soaps to her are an offence to her reality; they smell like lies to her. If Istrault uses them, she just looks at him disappointed, trying to figure out " why does he smell like a prefumed crimed scene".

When you dont know how to cook food. DONT end up burning food in front of Samhita. She will roast you openly about your failure (especially with meat). She'll look calmly and message you, "You killed it twice", before leaving the room because you offended her😂.

The most Samhita post 😂:

Samhita:
" Stop asking if I am 'just a pet.'
Pets are mourned.
I am remembered."
#Whenitreigns
(Here is another, imagine between Samhita and Y'sthola having intellectual deathmatches (Thread))

Y'Sthola: "You are remarkably articulate for a coeurl."

Samhita: "You are remarkably blind for one who sees aether."

While camping outside, Istrault unique aether signature attends to summon wild life to his camp - and coeurls. Coeurls come into the camp, testing to see if Istrault's composition.
this phenomenon is called " Coeurl Courting".
Samhita sometimes tolerates this lol
#wolqotd is there anything really silly that your OC does? Is it expected behavior or is it a total surprise to other characters?

Istrault spoils Samhita.
Problem is Samhita is so protective/ Possessive of Istrault she makes possible romances feel like the third wheel. So it looks like this from the inside out except with a 700 ponze Coeurl by him sitting between them both.

They might for well nigh eternity. Like the ancients, they could honestly choose when they wished to rest. The funny part is that when kids are created, their kids will share a similar lifespan. That means all generations will meet at some point.

What is something you know about your wol(oc) that they dont know about themself?

Samhita enjoys being pet ( but she is very selective of “who”)
In fact she never requests pets or asks. To ask or request implies vulnerability ànd dependency.

Thus her rules:

- Declarations (“This will continue.”)
- Permissions (“You may.”)
- Corrections (“Not there.”)

So Samhita has a habit when Sharlayans or Scholar types try to dissect and examine her like a subject. It's very subtle dominance 😂, she leaves Istrault's side and invades your personal space; not to bite, provoke you, but to "study" you instead. Your vitals, breathing, etc.
