Unfortunately Im out of my house so I wont be able to sketch answers for a little while!

Pleased by hearing all the answers, Blue smiles. Suddenly, another doubt hits her.

"Sorry to ask this silly thing but, can different gender Aphelios breed? It's not my case but there are many sexualities that could use this answer. Do the orbs have a "gender" if you talk about when they blend in make another one?"
Thanks

"Any combinations of genders can breed! There are many genders out there, and since Aphelio biology is different from humans, any combination of genders is possible to breed! Poly relationships are certainly welcome as well, but Panne told me that for the sake of practicality, only two parents may breed at a time.

How many flakes did I got?

[magpie!]

Lilo thanks Cecil for the answers! And has one last question to ask.
'Do Aphelios typically have pets, or is it just me haha?"
Lilo motions to Seraphina, his pet phoenix.

(tysm for all those answers!! I've already learned so much from this little event!!)

"Sorry, it looks like you have received your maximum prizes for your first three questions! Total, you earned 11"

"No problem, Lilo! It was fun hearing your questions, I have enjoyed answering them!

To answer your last question, its not uncommon for Aphelios to have pets. I myself want one, and am looking into getting one!

Sik was very pleased with the first answer he got from Cecil. That made sense and he totally understood what Cecil was talking about... since he kinda felt the same way about earth and humans. Even though he prefers the animals, especially bears, but the human race still were quite adorable. It also had to be said that they made excellent sweets!
Sik started to think about Christmas, a holiday that was very widespread on earth and was just celebrated only a few days ago. The sweets were definitely the best thing about it... all those delicious cookies! The gingerbread! But Sik's favourite sweet food still was honey... he remembered eating a whole pot when he first encountered earth.
Then his thoughts switched back to Christmas and all these Christmas-y Aphelios he has seen... probably just coincidence, that some of his race reminded him of an earthly festivity, but well...
Suddenly another question for Cecil stroke his mind. It was something he actually had thought about before, but had forgotten, because that's it with such thoughts... you tell yourself to go and figure the answer out as soon as possible, but when you finally come to ask someone, you had already forgotten what the question was... so he'd better hurry this time, before he'd forget again...

"Oho, a Q&A? Sweet, that's just what I needed!" A young Aphelio chirps, rubbing their paws together. "Heya Cecil, my name's Strobe, and I've got a few questions about life, the universe, and everything orbs and worlds for ya."

1. "Do orbs actually contain a tiny planet/galaxy/what-have-you inside them, or is it more like a window to a place that already exists somewhere out in the universe? Would it be theoretically possible for someone to visit the world in an Aphelio's orb?"
   
2. "When two Aphelios mix orbs, do they split control over a single new world or does each orb contain its own individual copy of it? If they're separate, and they each maintain it in their own way, does that mean their orbs can become different again over time?"
   
3. "Aaand, because I'm still feeling philosophical...You said Earth isn't controlled by an Aphelio, right? Does that mean there's a way for us to tell what planets are or aren't part of an Aphelio's world? Or could we just be unknowingly living inside the orb of a super giant Aphelio in another universe?"

Dear Cecil,

I just wanted to thank you for visiting me yesterday! I hope you enjoyed the time we spent together, even though the waitress at lunch thought you were some sort of exotic pet that couldn't speak English. Hope you weren't too offended by that! Otherwise, I think we had a nice, peaceful lunch. Anyways, thanks for answering all my questions! It really helped me understand your species better. I do have one more question: Does the Aphelio get to design their own world or does a planet/star/universe/etc. get created every time a new Aphelio is born, and then "assigned" to them, or is it a totally different process? Thanks! (And maybe you can post the answer on your lil "Ask Cecil" thread!) Well, I hope that you can visit again soon- I had a great time with you!

Hugs, Shimmer

I decided to make my story into a letter instead, hope that's okay! c:

"Well, sometimes it isnt quite apparent what makes each of us special. For example, the main reason I am considered rare is because of my beautiful locks of hair. Though its not common to see hair on Aphelios, it isnt extremely hard to come by, either. Other traits are considered to be rare as well, such as no pupils, different ears, and Slightly different tails. Other small differences like fluff or permanent accessories are considered uncommon, large amounts of Aphelios possess these. Then, there are things that are almost impossible to come by. Things like completely different tails(shorter/longer, curly, etc) are considered very rare/ Mutations such as one or multiple antennas, extra limbs, etc are seldom seen as well. Hmm.. what else... Oh! Wings are in the VR category, too." +3 flakes!

"Ooh, these are good questions!
Our orbs are not the actual physical planet/universe/galaxy we control. It is more like a.. Small replica that replicates the actual thing. Like a crystal ball, but instead of seeing the future it just projects the present time. Only the Aphelio that controls the planet may interact with the orb to check up on how things are going on the planet. Everyone else just sees the 'cover' design that you see. It's a really complex thing to explain, really, so I hope that my simplified babble will suffice as an answer!

Yes, the ouple splits control over the world they have merged. They work together to maintain their world.

Hmm... this one is tough. I am not a philosopher, so my answer may be lackluster. I think it varies from planet to planet, depending on how the Aphelio chooses to rule. Some very social Aphelios have been known to roam around their worlds, interacting with the beings that inhabit it. In that case, unless the beings were of limited intelligence, they would surely know. On the flipside, however, some Aphelios choose to silently rule over their world, so there is a slim chance its inhabitants know about it.
Personally, I have a planet full of plants and wildlife that I borrowed from earth, so I am positive that they do not really care either way!" +13 flakes!

"Hey, I remember you! Its quite alright, I'm used to that whole thing. It'll be fine, dont you worry about me!

There is a world created when an Aphelio is born. However, this is not necessarily the exact one the baby will rule over. It is just there to take the place of the world that the Aphelio will take once it grows up, so that there is an endless supply for generations to come. There is a huge Aphelio tradition where the parents send their child(ren) off on their own, marking the start of adulthood. Wen the children are let go, this is when they are expected to go find the worlds they are fated to rule. As expected, there are many worlds that are encountered along the way. Sometimes, Aphelios get so frustrated that they simply settle into the closest planet just to end their tiring search. Others are determined to find something that suits their needs entirely." +6 flakes!

The fluffy Blue Aphelio looks at Cecil.

"Could humans have us as pets?" she smily asks with a little shimmer in her eyes.
