Ciera'd been on some strange date nights. She was a teplian, after all, and most services weren't afraid throwing the most different and surprising possible matches at a species known as having a lust for new experiences and cross-cultural competence. She liked playing that off as just a stereotype; for her, though, it wasn't really one.

This coyote was cute, certainly. Bit of weight, doofy smile, quite affectionate, and playfully eager in all things. It made a nice counterpoint to her usually reserved nature, made her feel a little more free to take risks and be adventurous. At least, she thought it might come possibly a second date.

But, here she was now, in her short sun dress, the cool bar air keeping her senses sharp, arms folded behind her back as she debated what to say. Entirely unprepared for the long, loud slurrrrp~ that slathered her open ear, right cheek, and some of her messier hair with drool. Its heat sank into her flesh along with the drool, a fuzzy feeling beginning to spread outwards from the side of her head. And as the warmth began to tickle her thoughts, the blush's glow matching how increasingly relaxed she found herself getting, Ciera realized where this was going.

...yeah, she was asking for a second date.

Ciera's been a complicated character to pin down look-wise. She's part of the first unique species I was involved in creating, and I adore them. But Ciera herself's tricky, possibly because of how much I enjoy her as a representative of her species. Had a little money left in the art fund, so I figure...why not let someone have a crack at her and show some love to the co-creator of one of my favorite species and characters?
