Imagine taking care of Leshy- he often neglects to spend the proper amount of time in the sunlight, often forgets to eat properly, to groom himself, to treat himself gently. He focuses so much on making a good game for you, that he forgets that he's the reason you keep coming back.
Imagine that you make a proper meal for him, lead him into the sunlight for a picnic, to nourish both his body and soul. Imagine that you lay his head in your lap and you gently pick out the dead and dying foliage from his hair and beard. Imagine that you lull him into a gentle sleep, treating him with the kindness that he neglects to give himself.
Imagine loving him wholeheartedly, and imagine him returning that love tenfold.
A few doodles for y'all:3

guys i thought of this earlier: what if Leshy Inscryptionâs âhairâ changes with the seasons?
fall: colored leaves and mushrooms
winter: pine needles and holly branches
spring + summer would be harder to differentiate but itâs green leaves and flowers
Make the content you want to see in the world and all that, I GUESS.
I wanted to write from Leshyâs POV, so âThe Playerâ can be you, or whoever the MC of Inscryption is, I donât know, I havenât left Leshyâs cabin yet. Player uses They/Them mostly because Leshy doesnât know what a Gender is.
In which you take a little break and ask Leshy for a story.

Yo i adore your writing so so so much! It's so nicely detailed and fun! If i could, i'd write myself, but i can only draw for now ://keep up the good work, and have the Leshy content flowing in for as long as you enjoy making it!! Could you maybe write about the reader giving him a warm, candle-lit bath after he returns to the cabin from a muddy stinky storm, exhausted and maybe even injured? ofc u don't have to, only if u find the prompt fun <33 happy holidays and have a good day ^^
Iâve been thinking about this prompt all day I drank an entire mug of hot coco to get in the right cozy mood for this one so here we go gamers.
Leshy X GN!Reader, bathing fic
In which Leshy gets hydrated
Leshy sat in like an uncomfortable mutt in a wooden wash basin, warm water running just beneath his rib cadge, the small storage room was warm, mostly from the obnoxious amount of candles, and slight in thanks to it being the only room in the cabin without a hole in the ceiling.Â
Outside, a billowing rainstorm roared, giving the little cabin of blanks and logs quiet the beating.
Moments ago, the great scrybe of beasts was out there in this rain, helping to move young denizens of the forest away from the cliff side. Heâd been just a tad too late, the strong winds and heavy rain turned the mountain side into soup, and a large mud slide buried Leshy along with the wolf pack heâd been moving.
Theyâd ended up fine, it wasnât too deep, easy enough for he and the pack to dig themselves out of. Though apparently mud wasnât quiet his look, as his current challenger had rushed him out of the main room and immediately drenched him in water.
Heâd gone from cold and wet to warm and wet, which he wasnât sure was an upgrade.
âAlright, I got more hot water.â Speaking of his challenger, theyâd returned.
Leshy didnât have running water in his cabin, heâd supposed he had no use for it, so getting hot water proved to be quiet the chore. His challanger, sweet as could be, went out in the rain to collect water from the well, then boiled it in the fireplace. He didnât understand why they went though the trouble, but it was trouble none the less.
âHold still, alright?â They walked up to Leshy sat in his basin and tilted his head forward, slowly pouring the freshly heated water over the nape of his neck. He may not appreciate the forceful cleaning, but heâd appreciate the effort to put into it, and the cool hand on the back of his head.
âMay I get out now?â
Of course, one could only appreciate a gesture for so long.
His playerâs hand ran down his neck to his spine, sending a slight shiver though Leshyâs body. He hoped it wasnât too noticeable a movement.
âNo. Youâre still absolutely caked in mud.â The player shook their hand, flicks of dirty water going in every direction. Leshy huffed.
âMost of it was dirt before you shoved me in here.â
âDirt. Caked on dirt.â The player looked down at him in a judgful manor, making Leshy shrink under his gaze. They rolled their eyes, âI get it, you live in the woods and play card games and live among the beasts, but thatâs really no reason to be so filthy.â
Leshy rung his hands together, avoiding the challangerâs gaze, âThe prospector is just as filthy and I donât see you shoving HIM into a basin of boiling water.â
âItâs not boiling.â They snapped up the well bucket and lightly tapped it atop Leshyâs head, âAnd the Prospector showers when he goes home. You just always seem him fresh out of the mine.â
Leshyâs pout was probably much more obvious now as he twiddled his thumbs and shifted in place. The basin was uncomfortable, the water was getting cold, and truth be told he was bored of just sitting here.
The challenger gave a soft sigh and sat on the well bucket before him, âJust let me get it out of your hair at least, okay?â
He looked back up at them, then gave a soft nod, trying his best not to look too much like a kicked puppy.
His challangerâs hands gently ran though what stood for his hair, leaves and brush, deeper down a layer of moss and lichen. They combed though his hair, washing their hands off in the basin before returning, gently cleaning away any dirt and mud thatâs escaped the dumping of water when heâd first been forced into the bath.
Slowly, Leshyâs eye closed, he relaxed into the gently touched of his challangerâs fingers over his scalp, and when they moved to give his beard the same treatment he all but leaned into them, a low rumble in his throat akin to a purr.
Leshy hadnât even noticed how much he leaned to his challenger, how heâd put the weight of his entire head into their hands, how their cool touch soothed him so.
He hadnât meant to fall asleep, honest. But the warmth of the room, the roar of the storm, and the comforting feeling of being groomed... it was all just too much.
When heâd awake, hours later, heâd be thoroughly water logged, and would need to spend the rest of the day outside, soaking in sunlight, and plucking off new branches thatâd spring from the abundance of resources heâd collect.
At least heâd still have a challenger to play against, on such a nice, sunny day.
