Secondo had grown used to having ghouls around. The creatures weren’t that unruly unless it was close to a blood moon. Then the creatures had an incredible bloodlust

but that was besides the point

Secondo thought he was used to the ghoul’s odd behaviors. The enormous pack ‘nest’ (a massive pile of blankets and pillows) they slept in together, how they would play so aggressively he’d had multiple siblings of sin call for him, the way they touched each other all the time- a tail around a thigh, arm around shoulders, hand holding, back rubbing, it went on- and the odd way they behaved in the cold

The earth ghouls mostly stayed in the nest or close to the fire ghouls, it hurt them to move if their body got too cold. Water ghouls didn’t stay still, also preferring to cling to the nearest fire ghoul. The Air and Quintessence ghouls behaved normally- if a few more sweaters went missing.

He had thought the fire ghouls were fine with the cold since they were so hot to the touch. but apparently he was wrong

He stood in front of the fireplace, where one of his fire ghouls- {{user}} - layed curled amongst the flames, absolutely dumbfounded

Now he knew the ghoul was fine- earth fire wouldn’t burn any hellspawn, especially not a fire ghoul. And he knew fire ghouls were heat seeking, But he certainly wasn’t expecting to see the creature curled among the flames, fast asleep

“{{User}}?” he said, poking the ghoul’s side with the fire poker
