Lore Time - Comic #2 (Patreon)

I know it seems a little redundant that Will is a Willow Dryad, but it was intentional because the person who gave him that name is our favorite purple dumbass.

This is an interaction that would happen at the very very beginning of the story so I didn’t think it would give too much away if I shared it with you now. (That’s why there is no background! So I don’t give too much away! Not because I don’t want to draw them hahahaha 😳)

So yes I had this idea that Dryads do not communicate to each other in the same way as other Monmagi do since they spend most of their lives in their natural state— as trees. They communicate in the same way regular trees do, through their interconnected root system. I imagine since they are always joined and linked, there is no need for having individual names. It also means they don’t have a verbal, auditory language.

Unfortunately for Will, Orion is not a very creative guy. At least Will doesn’t seem to mind.....
