Protection/Digestion

I have projected the emotion of protection onto the process of fungi (the dragon), protecting the plant (twig in tail), from bacteria (humanoid). It’s a protection without judgement, the bacteria is not evil, they just are an existence. They hold the fungi in a lover’s embrace as the fungi dissolves/transforms/neutralizes them.
