Far more normal than the Noise, true, but an animal of that size could only be dangerous... as confirmed when an oddly silent biker rode up with a written warning. Not that the gear user was going to take such a warning as applying to herself. Tell Miku to stay safe? Yes.

Though by now, Evangeline's disinterest was rapidly apparent, the short blonde sat crosslegged on her chair and paying more attention to the sadly empty cup in front of her.
