"He went this way! Quick!"
"Why did you leave your bag out in the open! I told you to keep everything where you can see it!"
"I only set it down for a minute, besides this looks like it might be a new creature!"
"You field researchers say that every other day, I swear..."
"I saw it's tail! Hurry, around this corner!"
"Hold up! it might be dangerous, get behind me!"
"Fine fine, just go!"
...
"Look! There he is!"
"Wow! He's bigger than I expected.... Hey there's your bag too, wait, does he have your tablet in his hand?"
"HEY! You big gremlin! Give me back my ph- O-oh! Uh... Uh oh..."
"Wha-OH. Holy shit. He's fucking packing!"
"So massive for his size..."
"Wait, what's that noise? Is that--- Is that a porn video playing on your tablet?!"
"...Such fascinating biology. The glowing eyes, all of that fur despite this being a humid climate, and that dark, shadowy coat... Is that a second pair of ears behind the first?"
"Oi, don't dodge the question, why the hell do you have porn on your tablet?"
"It must have aroused him! So then they are capable of sexual intrigue. They must be Fae then, not Abeyics...
"...Why is he looking at us like that?"
"Well at least he's not attacking us. Oh, hey look! In that tunnel, another one!"
"Uh..."
"Oh look another one there too!"
"UH..."
"It's a whole pack of them! This is amazing!"
"Maaaaybe we should get out of here..."
"You kidding? This is a huge discovery! Besides, there's a bunch of them behind us now too."
"WAIT WHAT?!"
"Calm down! They don't seem aggressive at all!"
"Yeah well what if they change their minds?"
"I VERY highly doubt it, Jadefall is a very peaceful region, they likely have no need for a predatory instinct. If they live here, they are likely herbivores too. I bet they are downright harmless!"
"Well okay... what do we do?"
"Just put down that silly baton, don't scare them or they might get defensive. They seem really curious and... ehe... uh... maybe more than a little horny. Just let them sate their interest. Go along with it. Worse case scenario they take us back to their nest and Grayline has to drag a rescue crew out here for us. Our trackers are still working just fine, and I could gather entire gigabytes of data in the meantime!"
"For fucks sake... Why do I keep letting you researchers drag me into these kinds of situations?"

These big, silly guys came to me in a dream, and I just had to draw them! They are big, fluffy weasel-like Fae who average around 10-12 feet tall and are, of course, very hung.~

No idea what to call them yet but I'm hovering around something like "Theeves" or simply "Sneakthieves" for their habit of stealing shiny tech of all kinds to bring back to their nest. I like the idea thay they are tribal and almost feral but had a shockingly adeptness at fiddling with tech so they can have a nest of lots of shiny, brights screens and active devices.~

As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated!
