Vacation is finally here, no more worries for a long time and a good time to chill and rest. As you pack your stuff and prepare to leave you feel someone grabbing your arm.
"Hey [You] do you have a moment ?" It's your lamia co-worker, you've been working with her for a year now and she is one of the few mamono hired in the same place as you, it seems she's really eager to talk to you, in her own shy manner.
"...since it's already winter I was wondering if you could help me through brumation season... this is something I can ask only you !"
It looked like she spent all of her courage in that simple request, you even hear her friends in the background cheering for her.
She never causes any trouble and is pretty nice to work with, you feel safe around her so you agreed to help her and the second you said yes her eyes started shinnig and she gave you a big smile, seeing her expression change from shy to super happy and excited makes you feel good for helping... even though you're not sure what brumation is.
She says it's faster if she shows you so she takes you to her house, on the way you start talking and found you have some things in common which was pretty cool.
Her home is really pretty and cozy, there are these fancy heaters in the rooms because apparently if its hot enough she can stay active through the winter instead of being all lazy and sleepy all the time. But still, what does she need you for ?
Her tail quickly whips out all the locks to the door behind you, preventing you from turning back, she pauses a bit because of her heavy breathing, turns back to you and says "Even with all this it's REALLY cold and LONELY this time of year, it's fucking torture living alone like this !!"
It all happened so fast you kinda got scared. "I really need that favor NOW, I'll need you to 1. hug me deeply until winter ends and 2. NEVER LEAVE !!!"
In a situation like this the smart thing to do would be to try to ask her to reconsider and let you go but at the same time you feel bad for her having to suffer so much in the winter every year.
WWYD ?
