It was a small gift but nice in its own way and Fluffy was defenitely photogenic when she wanted to be. [i][color=f49ac2]Thankyou, I've always got thr kettle hot hope! [/color][/i] Happy that people seemed freindly and offering next door a cup of coffee was a good way to build some friendships and maybe intrigrate into the village, hope did live next door after all. Grabbing a glass of wine off the table and trying it, it was good and from the local farm she had hered, a table piled high with cakes to. The Village did not do a new years even party by half. Firther away a large blooming tree showed the new year had started, such was the tradition out in the villages, one that seemed to have been lost in the larger town and cities. Seeing a person walk in with a peacock, wait... A peacock. That was certainly a different pet, Fluffy reacting somewhat defensive but she had never seen one before. The Newfoundland was big but not experienced ans still had alot to learn. Waving over to the new comer, she did not know who he was directly, just that he ran some boutique or fashion shop in the village. [i][color=f49ac2]Happy New year and hopefully a productive one[/color][/i] Seeing Waconia and that she understood what she meant, they both kinda took it as a special occasion when they could dress up, even if Astrid found larger social occasions and dressing up was slightly out of her normal zone of things she did. [color=f49ac2][i]thanks. I try my best! Seems I was worried for nothing. [/i][/color] Returning the complement with a slightly nervous smile, it had been a while since she had been to a event like this, compliments and such where still somthing she was not entirely used to, add Big Co, the arguments and break up, starting a mine, she probbly had been a social dwarf hiding in her mine too long. Maybe she was trying too hard to be social but it felt right to try and get to least speak to the people she was meant to live in the same village as. Her thoughts about events where broken by seeing the child wander in, dressed in clothes that probbly where way too cold for the weather and looking half starved. Nearer the doors she could see she looked like a runaway? Torn, dirty, thin, the poor girl looked like she had walked for Goddess kno s how long. Not a expert with kids she still knew when someone needed help more than she did though, taking off her coat shivering slightly in a cobolt fitted dress, and using it like a blanket for warmth, it could be cleaned later. Kneeling slightly as she gave thr girl her coat, noting her state, and minor injuries and cuts slightly healed. Concerned, she was a stranger but a hurt kid as a hurt kid and she could not in good heart leave her without trying at least somthing. [i][color=f49ac2]anyone know her.. Poor girl looks like she been out there for days? Doctor here? [/color][/i] Fluffy nosing up next to Astrid and giving the girl a smell, her instinct was to be good with kids, the entire breed was strangely able to work with kids and there gentle but firm temperament at times, ending up eye level with Astrid, Fluffy was abit silly but knew what to do when needed and kept ernough room. [i][color=f49ac2]Good girl, stay there Fluffy.. [/color][/i] [hr] [@Howilng Zinogre][@Typhon][@MissCapnCrunch][@Joshua Tamashii][@T Risket] [hr]
