There is a sheepboy.

Ordinarily, this would not be worth mentioning. Oh! Not because sheepboys aren’t worth mentioning! Because they are! For all sorts of reasons that you definitely don’t have time to get into, not on a morning where you’re dealing with monsters full of monsters and also a tricky cup of tea. Come to think of it, that’s why it wouldn’t be worth mentioning in the first place. There’s sheep, and there’s boys, and there’s sheep who are boys, and there’s boys who are sheep, and they’re all quite lovely in their own ways but not really the sort of thing to pay attention to when there’s a monster full of monsters you’ve got to contend with. But! This one! This one came out with all the other monsters, so onto the Mentioning List he goes.

Hmm. Perhaps not very high on the Mentioning List, all the same. He’s not doing much of anything. Well, he’s watching, and he’s listening, and that’s two things, and two’s not really a [i]much[/i] sort of number most of the time. Especially when those are two things sheeps tend to do a lot of. He is very much like a sheep, isn’t he? 

Except. Hrm.

He is very much like a sheep, but [i]very much like[/i] and [i]is a[/i] aren’t really the same thing, are they? Sheeps aren’t ever as still as he is. Not ever. Not even when they’re scared. Not even when a wolf’s about, and Hyra did apologize about that but she was smiling an awful lot when said it so you apologized to the poor sheep too, just in case. No, this isn’t a very sheep-like stillness at all. It’s, ummmmmm. Hrm.

It’s like a fox about to pounce, but gentle? But slow? A slow pounce. Somebody who is ready to spring into sheepish action, which typically moves at a reasonable bumble.

No, no, he’s only very much like a sheep, isn’t he?

Perhaps, perhaps this is how this sort of monster hides?

Anyway! Watch out, Just Yue! Don’t let that sheepboy sneak his way off the List! And don’t let the cute little vest distract you! Or the little pad of paper he’s writing on! Or the curly wool! That one should be easy! Whatever he’s been grazing on, his wool is not nearly as thick as any sheep or sheepboy you’ve ever seen! Maybe that means he’ll be more amenable to snacks! Instead of butt kickings!

Anyway! He’s got a little sword too! So! No distractions!
