[Color=pink]Melanie Rose Pourri[/color][hr][I]The Warren, 12:35PM Interacting with [@Zanavy][/i] Melanie blinked twice at the owl, baffled by her long winded spiel. Most of what the girl had said went in one ear and out the other. She scratched herself behind the ear. [Color=pink]"Hmm, umm... "[/color] Mel mumbled thoughtfully, trying to figure out what she said. She looked to the lion, Nolan. [Color=red]"I can't participate, but why don't you try it? Sounds fun,"[/color] he answered quietly, smiling reassuringly. The owl-girl had a funny way of talking, but she was so cute and small, and nice! She seemed to be trying so hard to be social, seeing how she was staring at the salt shaker and stress eating some poppers. It reminded her of herself. Joining a club would be difficult and scary, but if this little owl was going to try, she would too. Surely Mel could help a fellow animal out, even just once? [Color=pink]"Yeah, I know how to play chess. I'm not very good at it,"[/color] Melanie admitted bashfully, looking down and scratching the back of her paw. She looked thr little owl in the eyes and smiled shyly. [color=pink]"But... I'm willing to try."[/color]
