Her fingers still curled around a protruding piece of bark, she listened quietly to Sister Deborah's remarks, placing her right foot solidly against a nice divot in the tree. She was about ready to take off and start climbing it when Sister Deborah told the young witchlings that they had to be inside in 10 minutes. [color=SkyBlue]"Ten minutes? Bullshit,"[/color] Dakota said in irritation, a crestfallen look on her face. She liked climbing trees. Shaking her head in disappointment, she nodded in response to Calypso's comment. [color=SkyBlue]"Right...I'll be honest, I'm not feeling all that hungry right now,"[/color] Dakota said, looking down. She had accidentally knocked her food to the ground and was not ready for the shame of having to grab seconds. [color=SkyBlue]"Catch you inside, Callie!"[/color] she said to the girl before trekking off to the other side of the table, grabbing the tattered leather tote bag that was currently sitting on the chair in front of her name tag. She opened the bag, grinning with surprise as she looked inside. [color=SkyBlue]"Woah!"[/color] she exclaimed with a growing smile, looking as though she had just struck gold as she opened the bag. Now peeking its head out of the bag was a silver-black striped ferret. Kota grinned playfully as she took the ferret out of the bag, hoisting him up to her shoulder. [color=SkyBlue]"Astro! How did you sneak in there? You shouldn't be going into such a little space, silly, I wouldn't want you to get hurt!"[/color] she scolded playfully, as the ferret simply kept looking ahead, clearly disinterested in Dakota entirely. Dakota took a few steps away from the table towards the large house. [color=SkyBlue]"This is the coven house, Astro, you're going to be staying here for a little while. Isn't it big?"[/color] Dakota cooed as she lifted Astro from her shoulder and pointed him towards the Coven House, like she was Rafiki and he was Simba from the Lion King. [color=SkyBlue]"You just have to make sure you don't make a mess and don't try to run off-...ASTRO!"[/color] Dakota's voice rose in alarm as Astro, deciding he no longer wanted to take part in this nonsense, slipped through Dakota's fingers, hitting the floor as soft as an acrobat would, before booking it towards the Coven House, obviously wanting to explore on his own terms. Dakota rushed after him. [color=SkyBlue]"Astro! Come back, stupid!"[/color] Dakota commanded in vain as she chased after her ferret, who was moving quickly across the grass towards the coven house. [color=SkyBlue]"Stop it, you dummy! You don't know where you're going!"[/color] Astro was obviously not heading Dakota's advice, though, and [i]zoomed[/i] towards the coven house, reaching the stairs that led to the house rather swiftly. Dakota hot in his tail, Astro swiftly scaled the steps, looking over at the girl sitting there, listening to music, a wooden golem on her shoulder. This last part got Astro's attention. [i]Toy.[/i] The slinky polecat wound up before launching directly at the girl with the golem (most obviously Iris), quickly and very spontaneously scaling her arm before tackling the golem off, pinning it down like a chew toy and trying to wrap his mouth around its head. Dakota had now caught up to her pet and was angrily scolding him. [color=SkyBlue]"Bad! Bad Astro! No eating other people's...doll things,"[/color] she finished lamely, reaching down to stop Astro from gnawing Corvus' head clean off. Thankfully, Astro was not a godly ferret and could not chew his way clean through wood, but his teeth were fairly sharp. Dakota pulled the finicky ferret away, holding him close to her chest as she looked over to Iris. [color=SkyBlue]"Sorry about that, Curly,"[/color] Dakota said a bit breathlessly as she squeezed Astro to her chest, stopping the restless creature from finishing the job. [color=SkyBlue]"He normally doesn't do that. Bad Astro!"[/color] she scolded again, her arms wrapped tightly around the squirming ferret. [color=SkyBlue]"Really sorry about that. If you need me to pay for repairs or something I definitely will. I know how much your, uhh, whosiwhatsits mean to you."[/color] [sub][color=SkyBlue]Speaks to:[/color] [color=e9dd25]Calypso Barnes[/color] [@canaryrose], [color=9600ff]Iris Aderast[/color] [@Blizz] [color=SkyBlue]Mentions:[/color] n/a [/sub][/center][hr][hr]
