[b]At the Aquarium![/b] “Um. Excuse me?” Jackdaw’s quavering voice stepped between the three of them, and instantly regretted its life choices. “I, yes, I know, I’m interrupting, but, there’s not also another Ailee and Lucien running around, is there?” She gulped. Just a gulp! How was it the loudest noise in the entire room?! “We, kind of have a lot going on already today, see...” ******************************* [b]At the Tent![/b] “Ugh. This is just [i]typical,[/i] Ailee.” Jackdaw sighed, shaking her arm furiously to try and dislodge a frustratingly determined mouse. “The first time we’ve seen each other in ages, and you go and spoil the moment. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say we weren’t even friends anymore.” “Oh! Wait!” She smacked her forehead. “I [i]do[/i] know better!” The bolas whirled ‘round her ankles, tying tighter and tighter and stop. Frozen. Suspended in midair by a scowling Rebuke. “Tch. That makes one of us here who does.” The glyphs on her coat blazed to life, swirling around her fur before lifting away entirely to fill the air around her. Pages upon pages, books upon books, dreams upon dreams shed from her body, and still the Names that filled the tent could be counted on one hand. With fingers to spare. “I got you a present, Leelee! Be a good girl now, and share with the class!” And the word was [b][i]regret.[/i][/b] A million million familiar whispers flooded the tent; rust-red, hungering, and more than enough to drown two mice. Enjoy!
