This wasn't inspired at all by cover art of Naru cradling Ori, but I can't help but notice the resemblance. It's just Epitaphe enjoying the fact that he's caught himself an adorable little forest spirit who doesn't seem to mind his company or his lariat brushing over it, even if magical critters like this one is something the demon feeds off of...such an odd relationship.
Epitaphe, big, creepy looking demon there is mine, forest spirit that may or may not be Ori itself belongs to Moon Studios.
