Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was madness. Utter, complete madness that had prompted her to bring out all her minis all at once. But the weather was so nice and it seemed such a shame to leave some in the dorm while others got to go out - if she went in shifts, then their time outside would be shortened.

So on a whim she'd decided to just bring all of them.

It was chaos; Egg and Patty were fine, both able to move along without a leash, but the fruttens... constantly she had to untangle their leashes and tug them away from ambushing poor, unsuspecting creeple. Their attentions went in all different directions and couldn't they just decide on one?!

The answer was no. The relatively short walk to the yard had taken triple its usual time, but finally, finally she made it.

Only to spot a boil who'd had a similar idea. "Micail!" Leo's voice was bright and a beam grew on her face at the sight of someone she knew. She would have waved but, well, hands currently occupied.

She'd used the time between greeting him and him coming over to gather the leashes in one hand, which came in rather handy when he asked his question. "You're asking me that? Quite obviously, a key treat is up," she said with a lopsided grin, gesturing to his head. On her shoulder, Egg was watching the new minis with interest - as was the fruttens and Patty on the ground.

"Well, I certainly like to think so," she replied with a cheeky grin.

She watched as he wrangled the minipet, seeming to have it well in hand. The silver mini was struggling, but it seemed more playful than actually resisting; something she well knew from trying to get leashes on her fruttens.

"No need to apologize! That's perfectly normal, really." Her smile turned soft as she watched the minis examine each other - her fruttens were just as curious as Micail's pets, chirping away and circling the others with interest.

"You know, he does look a bit embarrassed," she laughed as he pushed the scareon away from Frej, who was curling up in a ball and chirping indignantly at having been sniffed there. Both Patty and Egg were uninterested in meeting the other pets, seeming to be content to observe from a distance, but the others were very keen - several fruttens had switched to making play motions at their new acquaintances.

"Okay friends, I think playing with this many leashes might be a recipe for disaster," she spoke to her fruttens, unafraid of being seen as the crazy minipet-talking ghoul in front of Micail. It wasn't completely untrue, after all.

"Should we maybe find a place to sit down and they can interact for a bit?" This was directed to Micail, a questioning expression and a smile on her face. "We can chat, catch up! I haven't seen you since Miasma Village - how are you?"
