How do Au Ra use Linkpearls/Linkshells?

[LDR]

I like to imagine the horns are actually hollow and compressable, kinda like a tenis ball; so when they sleep they just sorta, squidge flat.

Regardless, what with ear accesories being attachable without an evidently easy way to use clip on's i feel to assume its "safe" to effectively drill into the horns and hook into them

i personally picture installing a linkpearl into an auri like putting a microchip into your pet, just in their horns instead

(the nostril is my bet).

You get a "Like" for putting the amusing mental image into my head of my character jamming a linkpearl up her nose. :P

As for the inconvenience of sleep, seriously, tails shouldn't be an issue. At least, if Au Ra tails work in any way like real-life tails do. It may appear as though the tails jut out of the body at a 90 degree-ish angle, but that's because they're being HELD in that position. Tails are a natural extension of the spine, and at rest point in the same direction as the spine. Many animals (like cats) hold their tails upwards on a regular basis so that they appear to be at a tighter angle compared to the spine, but that doesn't mean they're rigidly fixed there.

Au Ra (even gator-tail Au Ra) and Mi'qote are likely no exception. When at rest, they can relax their tails so that they are parallel with their spines, making it easy to rest on their backs. When awake, they instinctually hold their tails up, likely to prevent them from getting tangled in their legs.

I pity all the people who use rocks as pillows, I recommend switching to swan feather or cotton boll stuffed. Sure there is some stitch work to do in the morning but its worth it.

I got curious enough to make a character and use the bed emotes / inn room. They sleep on their side and their entire horn clips through the pillow, lol.
"Don't think too hard about it.", I guess.

I think it depends on the horns, my character, as you can see, have forward facing horns. I'm guessing they're sturdy enough to support her head's weight. Also, a softer pillow and bed would mold themselves to the shape of the horns and head. So maybe Au Ra just use soft bedding?

[Canadane]

Yeah I would imagine the bedding would conform to the horn a bit, but being born with horns (do Auri babies have horns?) they'd be used to how they feel. Rolling over and hitting your horn would be like sleeping on your arm or something. The only difference is, they likely don't wake up with a horn numb.
Basically, they're used to their bodies, so the horns don't actually get in the way too much. They've just naturally adapted to using them, much like people naturally adapted to having any other body part you could name.

while they never explained HOW, I thought it was established in XI (put your 'this is XIV not XI' argument here) that the linkpearls are effectively quantum-entangled with the shell that produced them. That is, vibrations striking the linkpearl vibrate the shell and its sister-pearls.

Au Ra (even gator-tail Au Ra) and Mi'qote are likely no exception. When at rest, they can relax their tails so that they are parallel with their spines, making it easy to rest on their backs. When awake, they instinctually hold their tails up, likely to prevent them from getting tangled in their legs.

Tails are also used for balance too. Having the tail "flexed" in a 45-90 degree angle may have more to do with balancing than getting tangled between the legs. =D
