On some level, Lovekit had already introduced himself to the Typhoon as a whole, just by being around. After all, the boy had a tendency to follow along with whatever his siblings were doing, and he had ventured outside of his family home more than a few times. Despite this, he didn't know too many of the other members of the pirate group he considered to be family, and that just wouldn't do, obviously. However, the child didn't just want to go out there and say his name and give a usual introduction. That would be boring, and the hybrid would've hated to be thought of as boring by the rest of his crewmates. Which left Lovekit a bit stumped, since that meant he needed to find some way to introduce himself that was creative, and fun, and would probably net him some friends, obviously. Not that he wasn't happy with Harlow and Lawkit for friends, but it would've been a bit depressing, having his only two friends in the world be his two siblings. So, he had set out to try and find something creative that he could do.

Thankfully, Lo was either extraordinarily lucky, or he just knew very well how to find things that were exciting. It wasn't long until the child's aimless wandering had brought him to the shop of one of the group's tattoo artists, who seemed pleasantly surprised and amused when the boy had come trotting up. Obviously the older artist hadn't been willing to tattoo someone so young, but when he had seen Lovekit's fascination with the various paints and pigments he had been using, an idea had begun to form. It wasn't long until the tiger-doberman hybrid found himself leaving again, but this time he had something with him – a bucket of paint. Easily washable paint that was very much temporary, but paint nonetheless. Which meant that he now had a way to both introduce himself to others and do something neat for them. Plus, nobody would get too angry with him if he messed up a particular design, considering they could just wash it out afterwards. It was a foolproof plan, and Lovekit found himself smirking as he carried the bucket and accompanying brush out with him to middle of town.

He was vaguely aware of the fact that the tavern was nearby, which was a good thing for him, since it meant that there would be more people traveling past who could hear him. Which meant more people to meet him, as well. Short tail wagging enthusiastically against the sandy ground behind him, Lovekit put the bucket down nearby before he called out, "Who would like to come and meet me? You can introduce yourself and get a temporary tattoo from me, at the same time. It'll be great!" He knew of some who would already know him, such as his great aunt, siblings, and cousins, but there were plenty of others that were still a mystery to the young boy.

So many different people had shown up, and that was honestly a joy for Lovekit, an already growing social butterfly. The boy turned his head to grin over at Lawkit, taking in the pleased look on his brother's face, as well as the request that fell from his muzzle. Wings and horns? It was barely a moment before Lo was nodding enthusiastically in confirmation, before he turned his gaze back to all those that had gathered. Luci was first, and he was honestly perfect, considering what a massive canvas he was. However, even in his young age, Lovekit did know some of his limits. For now, he decided to go with something simple. Smiling crookedly, the child dipped the brush into a bucket of yellow ink, before he moved closer to Lucifer, beginning to carefully brush a pattern onto his back leg. It was a painting of a sunflower, rather basic in shape and form, but recognizable nonetheless. Stepping back, Lovekit explained with a grin, "You seem nice, like you've got a nice... spirit! So... sunflower!" It was a basic explanation, but it made perfect sense to Lo, who was already turning his attention to the next person.

Devland was the next person to arrive, but the older male evidently wanted to see some examples, before he decided to sign on for the paint job, however temporary it was. So, Love just offered him a smirk and a firm nod, feeling confident as he made his way over to Paola. She spoke with a confidence that even Lovekit was jealous of, and the child had an immediate idea of what he wanted to do. Dipping his brush in both the yellow and red buckets, he moved to stand up on his hind legs, slowly dragging it over Paola's spine and her dark black fur. When he eventually fell back down, there was an elaborate pattern that looked like the sun over her spine, a smile on Lo's muzzle around the brush he still had clenched in it, "If Luci is a sunflower, you're like the sun! Because you're so bold, and bright, and happy!" Keona, meanwhile, was slightly harder to get a read on, especially considering her quiet and serious nature. Despite this, Lo could feel an idea beginning to form in his head as he turned to the – very tiny – dealer.

Dipping the brush in the green paint, and then very soon afterwards the pink paint, it took several moments of focus before Lovekit eventually finished what he had in mind. Letting out a relieved breath when he saw it had come out as he wanted, the hybrid gestured to the water lily that was now on Keona's side, accompanied by a bright pink bloom. As he did so, he explained enthusiastically, "A water lily. 'Cause not only are they very pretty, but they're also practical for medicine, and they're really impressive in how they grow on the water!" Once everyone else was done, Lovekit finally turned his attention back to his brother, deciding to do something that matched. Dipping his brush back into the yellow paint, Love moved to slowly paint on both of Lawlit's wings, as well as on his horns. When he eventually stepped back, Lawkit not only had several large bees with honeycomb patterns behind them on his wings, but also a much smaller version on his horns. Smiling, Lovekit tilted his head to one side before questioning, "What do you think, Law?" He really hoped his brother liked it, considering how he valued family above almost anything else, as most children did.
