Quarantine

[nemo]

It wasn't her fault, Mi was almost sure of that - They'd tried to burn mother! The Vixen favored her right side still, the burns on her skin aching, pleading with her to slow down... but those weren't her injuries talking. Mother was hurt so bad... Mi tried her hardest not to worry, just like mother asked her to do, but she couldnt help it!

The smashed cars (too big!) in the tunnel were hazardous - some burned even now, and she could hear the Zombies somewhere ahead and behind but she could also... feel that she was not alone - so she wasn't afraid. The Rages would take care of her. For reassurance, she shot a look over her shoulder to look for one of them. A dog - a big one, bristling with little spines and drooling a black liquid - met her eyes and she felt better. The rageling nudged her, urged her onward with a whine - it could feel mother, too.

Mi pushed debris aside with the larger creature's help. It pulled spines back into its side as she drew close, brushed warmly against her as they worked together. It dug its claws into the metal, and she moved chunks aside as the rageling tore them aside, and soon, they managed to get a hole big enough in the flipped bus for her to climb into the cabin. She was a smaller thing than the Rageling, so she went into the darkness of the vehicle first, leaving the protection of the Rageling behind, at least until he could tear his way in himself.

Mi had a human's sensory strength - and that meant that in this environment she couldn't see anything, but it didn't take a brainiac to recognize the sound of rasped breathing or to recognize the scent of... her eyes went wide, and the girl tried to move back out - but clammy fingers grabbed at the child, and rotten teeth sunk into her arm. She screamed out, and three other voices rose in displeasure outside the vehicle with Mi's predicament. It hurt... it hurt! She could feel the T-Virus in the creature's saliva, she could feel it burn in her veins, and even knowing that it wouldn't work on her wasn't enough to stop her from screaming, from clawing at the zombie's face with her little fingers.

Outside the bus, three figures tore at the twisted steel enthusiastically, screaming with rage, seething with fury as metal and padding was thrown aside like wrapping paper, yellow metal shrapnel. It would only take one of them to take down many zombies... imagine the fun that awaited one unlucky one from three of the Rages? Even the newborn charged with Mi's protection would be enough.

The creatures reached into the cabin, claws and tendrils snagging at the flesh of the zombie in the darkness, Mi's screams driving them into a frenzy. They pulled flesh, they pulled limbs, they tore bone, clawing the zombie to pieces that didn't move anymore - its crime was too grave - and then devoured it all, Mi rolling on the floor a little, whimpering, clutching her arm, hand missing at the wrist, against her chest, sobbing in pain.

The T-Cells were helpless in a body like her's however - they were simply absorbed, taken down to their basest of components and neutralized. This is what made Mother useful to those bad men that hurt her, Mi reminded herself as she sent apolagetic looks to her siblings. The rages huddled comfortingly in around her, and the pain... slowly stopped. She reached out and grabbed a fistful of the zombie and started to eat, too.

---

Mi worked her new hand gently as the four made their way back through the wreckage. The skin was still white and slippery, and it felt so strange... but she'd adapt again. More pain... but pain wasn't strange to her, no sir. Cheerfully, Mi rode on the newborn Rageling, the dog, and surveyed the other two and their haul with great satisfaction. At least with the Zombies everywhere, there was no shortage of usable materials for mom to recover with!

The Rages could sense their tiny charge's giddy emotions across unspoken links, and bore their burdens cheerfully. They couldn't generate that feeling themselves - Ragelings were such simple creatures - but that's primarily why Vixens were so precious to them: The Rages were complete around them. What a haul indeed! Mother would be so pleased with them.

Where in the world did her boss go?! Still dealing with the list of people on her list of organ thieves, she had to make a trip right on over to none other than Mockingbird Island. Hopefully it was going to give the demon nurse with wild locks some sort of lead! With gloved fingers grasping onto the ledge of a shadow, she pulled herself up a bit and saw one of the most bizarre sights this nurse from hell has ever seen! It looked like they could very well fit in her hometown, seeing how there was a flesh munching party going on. Quite frankly she was one of the more sophisticated demons in her area, seeing how pedo-priests literally made her sick to her stomach and she didn't go around collecting souls all willy nilly! Glancing around with a sly smile across her cherry glossed lips, this woman only knew that there was the undead running around and didn't match the brochure much at all.

Fun touristy place? Yeah right! Sunshiny and happy? A bucket of blood and guts was more like it. That's when she spotted something that looked like a little girl riding on a dog thing that reminded the peculiar woman of her neighbor's pet `Sir BITE YOUR HEAD OFF` and...what were they doing? This place was a complete disaster zone, no place for a child, really. Of course she just caught the tail end of things, but as the white and red clad nurse fully pulled herself out of the shadow and stood upright with those high heeled boots going up those thighs which were neatly over white stockings.

The demon nurse would be even more damned if people got a panty shot on those rare occasions she had to slam her heel into some thief's face! Hmmm this place did have quite a bit of wreckage and...OH! Random lunging `used to be a human` zombie thing wanted a hug! ...or a piece of her not-so-human flesh. Too bad, so sad, that wasn't going to happen! With a sweet smile, she couldn't help but let out an amused chuckle before swinging the back of her hand at its cheek keeping her pimp hand strong and stepped on its head when it landed on the ground, ramming her heel into its temple before making her way over toward the girl riding along on her little animal friend who looked like it could probably give a normal person a borderline heart attack. Approaching the wreckage with the clacking of her heels following each step.

Well she'd have to keep traveling through shadows to take a better look around...maybe even go to the amusement park for a bit. For the human world, it was pretty strange here...so then it'd probably be a hoot over there! For now though, she felt a little charitable with what time was available. Honestly...it was a little strange that her boss went missing but he was a big boy and could take care of himself. This girl on the other hand? She looked like she and her doggy friends could use more help! "Hmmm is someone stuck or are you making something out of all that junk?"

Cooing out those words with a hint of curiosity, she really wasn't a very cautious sort...only when it came to seeming normal for the sake of her boss. That wasn't the case though so even though the environment was a little strange, it didn't make her too worried for now.

[nemo]

The child looked up to the strange woman - why hadn't she noticed her approaching? She reeked of death, smelled... strange, looked wrong somehow to her... but her words were concerned. That didn't stop two hulking forms the size of luxury sedans, bristling with spines and laden with... were those corpses in the junk? It suddenly became plainly obvious - between the lot of them, they had to have like sixteen human corpses, indiscriminate from child to elderly, running the range. All of them dead... some burned, some cut to ribbons, all of them carted like objects - no more, no less - among the other... crap they carried. They encircled the woman.

For the child's part, she wasn't a picture of normalcy, herself. She had a very healthy color to her, but dried blood still stuck to her clothing like she'd bitten someone or something. The dog - a big dog, big like a wolf - was much, much less tidy. The two hulking creatures seemed... similar to the smaller one. But they all... there was one awareness(?) between them all, like how twins feel when you're near them... only far uncannier, much closer to perfectly shared perceptions.

Their eyes tracked the woman the same way, their attention on her from every angle that eyes came at her, all at once, and the effect would make most feel... quite uncomfortable indeed. But there was no malevolence in the air, no killer intent in the girl's pure, friendly gaze, Only a great deal of protectiveness in the way the three monsters held themselves.

They wouldn't hesitate to tear her to pieces if they had to. It was probably mutual... so diplomacy was the best option all around, really! How fortunate that the demon-nurse made things easy for an olive branch!

"Mum needs this stuff - buncha bad men hurt her real bad... So we're on grocery detail!" ... Groceries? The corpses, the electronics, the scrapmetal and leather seats? This was... groceries?

"Wanna give us a hand?" she asked, the picture of a child's enthusiasm. Whoever this... "Mom" was, the little girl obviously was ECSTATIC to be helping her.

[Kiseichu Clossiana]

What a surprise it was as she let it all soak in that there were quite a few corpses among all the scraps and junk! For a moment she could of sworn they were piles of meat and clothes! ....well they sort of were but that was a little silly of her peculiar brain. A little odd, really, but it was easy enough to shrug off in the `that's messed up` department considering where she came from. However...one of the children in the pile of death section of crap they had looked familiar though, catching the attention her amber and yellow tinted optics for a moment. That deceased child was none other than a little organ thief who cheated her boss of some money....well...there went her lead...right down to happy death land and into a pile of junk n' stuff! Though she was certain the man who employed her would have a heart attack from the sight of this...and he probably wasn't here seeking out that little kid either.

Older people were always the primary target aaaand the child's mangled mommy was in the pile too...yup, dead end in this case for sure. Oh well...maybe she'd have luck elsewhere...for all she knew there were more organ thieves on this island. However that was slim to none on the survivor scale considering how the surroundings were. So for now she'd just have to deal with the situation at hand and then be on her way for the ones who were still alive in the mainland...or...something after taking a look around....maybe. Besides, that girl with blood here and there on her clothing like she took a healthy bite out of something that was living at some point seemed awfully sweet and in need of some extra hands regardless of the doggy...wolf...things that really reminded her of some mutts that ran around in hell. Even though the canine sorts looked less than friendly, the woman who could be considered as insane really didn't mind it at all! In fact she though they looked quite adorable...but then again she clearly had a strange sense of `cute`.

Maintaining that smile of hers as she couldn't help but have that `I feel like I'm being watched...OH that's because I am, silly me!` vibe as their eyes fixated on her. When catching a glance of her abnormal peers....the girl's gaze was friendly but the dog-like creatures closer to the wolf family were more along the lines of protective. The nurse from hell didn't need to be a psychic to see they had a bond with one another and it's not like she schemed on disrupting it. No reason to, really. They didn't take her boss' organ products nor initiate anything that would make her retaliate. Besides, they didn't give off any hints of `We're gonna kill you now`, so again, it wasn't like she'd pick a meaningless fight when she had bigger things to worry about. Seemed like a win-win thing too considering this girl and her animal buddies were getting groceries for her mom since bad men hurt her.

How tragic! Bad men, boy did she know all about those....after all she DID go after naughty organ thieves for a living. A strange cluster of things to call groceries but it made sense in a twisted little fashion. Items which were needed could very well equal up to none other than groceries, corpses included! Besides, there were a bunch of normal things in there that the majority would call groceries too so sure, why not call it groceries? Plus the young girl even enthusiastically asked for help! "Oh my it'd be a crime to say no to such a good girl trying to help her mother~! Of course I'll help you with these groceries! Too bad we don't have a giant cart, hm? Mmm silly me...I could just make something to do something similar!"

Finishing those words with a soft chuckle of amusement, she moved her hands up to her sleeves and began to focus her thoughts on only three things: syringes, popsicle sticks, and lollipops. Her hunger had a way with governing her thoughts here and there and occasionally she had a little thought about having a snack eating contest...which...result in popsicle sticks and lollipops among her syringes. The pile of stuff she got out of her sleeves piled up more and more and more up until she figured there was enough for her to work with. With a mere thought, everything she plucked out of her sleeves shook for a moment before getting flat on the ground looking similar to a board or platform. Now this thing was about six feet all around so she could fit quite a bit on it! The edges curled up a bit to make a one foot border so that all the junk she'd put on there would stay on for the most part...or at least not slip off as easily! Humming out an upbeat tune as though she was in one of the best moods ever while aiding in dirty work, the woman with wild tendrils and an oddly sweet smile gave a light wave to one of the wolf-like creatures who she wanted to play a little game of fetch with one day some day before going over to where the familiar corpses were.

Yes, that strange platform...make-shift kinda like a weird cart thing floated on after her as though it had a mind of its own...or on an invisible leash with invisible wheels. CLEARLY she felt like she was in the company of `Being abnormal is A-OK!` and didn't bother trying to rub off as a normal human. For now, she was simply grabbing whatever those gloved fingers of her could get a hold of and flung it onto her freakish lollipop syringe...popsicle stick creation...thing-a-ma-jig since it'd go much faster than taking what she could hold and play live action ping pong by going back and forth. Hopefully this girl's mother was really going to be helped with all this crap and junk! Even Tanzanite couldn't fathom how all this was going to help someone badly injured...OH WELL! Maybe she'd find out!

[nemo]

The girl let the nurse, the unusual woman before her, explore the take. Truth was, they'd gotten most of what they had there with htem, between the four of them, on or near that bus... there was at least a thousand pounds of material between the lot of them. Imagine Mi's glee when she realized that with this stranger's help, they'd be able to get even more to mommy! Oh, this had to make up for the breakdown of communication that hurt her in the first place - make up for it and then some!

Mi hopped off the dog-wolf-monster and the creature nipped her raggedy dress-ed behind, making the child squeak and jump a little, then ruffle the Rageling's headfur between the spikes that slowly receded where she touched him. He wagged his tail, he panted dopily and crooned his head into her touch, like a normal dog might do, despite bristling with spines and having mouths where he probably shouldn't.

The little girl moved to help the outsider gather appropriate materials - she made sure that any heavy metallic items, things like bumpers, metal doors, glass windows, and construction bars were left behind, while things like stereo bass systems, radios, and once-living things - obviously infected or not, it didn't seem to matter - were placed on the cart the woman had constructed like she had.

All the while, the three Ragelings circled and prowled amongst the wreckage. Occasionally, the sound of a zombie's moan was replaced by a strangling gurgle, the sounds of flesh tearing and wet-packing sounds, then the wolf-things... returned with something new to contribute to the growing pile, after obviously gorging themselves, getting a little... bigger each time this happened... stronger somehow.

Once the cart was full to capacity, the five of them made their way toward a smoking section of the car tunnel, deeper and deeper into darkness, where power no longer existed. Eventually, it became apparent that it wasn't getting to full blackness - there was a kind of... glow to the area, something about it that felt... soft? As they moved down the tunnel, into the area, the sounds of zombies became more and more distant, and something else came to the ears... a wide variety of things.

Scurrying feet, dull little hisses on the periphery of perception, soft-spoken voices... and something else. Something... deep, almost like a moan, a moan that came from the throat of something that didn't know perfectly well how to make a sound like that, lending it an unnatural, strange quality.

A glow became more apparent. Metal gave it off, it seemed like, with a wet glisten that didn't look... normal at all. The smell of the area was wet, musty, and distinctly femenine, in some subtle way. The four the nurse had found seemed calm and apprehensive at the same time - perhaps uncomfortable? A look of pain was plastered on the girl's face, and she leaned a little on the rageling beside her, sweating. The creatures panted, their tails sagged, as if bearing some terrible burden the deeper they got.

The effect was profound enough without the palpable sensation of agony in the air - life was all around them, a sentient, aware life that was suffering a great deal. Mi started to cry, shaking, holding herself, moaning softly in pain that made no sense to an outsider... but they were linked to this... life force all around them, this alien thing they were getting closer and closer to each step they took.

Then, around a fallen semi's back, with flames held at bay by distance mostly, was... a thing. A big thing. It was white like snow in the center, a hulk of pale, slick white flesh covered in a thick, colorless goo, connected to a substance that spread at their feet, on the walls, illuminated by yellow-green crystals that shone with shimmering light, jutting from the strange white flesh at all angles.

It exuded a hellish moan of agony, this... this horrible thing, literally melted into the side of the semi, yellowed, blistered flesh, rubbery and hardened unlike the soft, supple flesh of its core, binding it to the side of the gigantic vehicle better than any rope could.

After the initial horror of the things appearance, however... there were elements in it that were familiar, among the unfamiliar - an arm here, a part of a face, a chest and waist attatched to a serpentine body... it was hard to pick out, with how destroyed it was, how badly burnt it obviously was.

"M-momma..." the girl whimpered, and tugged the party closer, closer to the creature stuck against the semi, to the smell of burnt hair and blistered flesh, to that aweful moaning monstrosity on the wall.

The child took an armful of radio parts and a severed arm , and ran to the thing with the stuff, dumping it directly onto the creature unceremoniously. It shivered, it reacted by lifting a half-burnt head, almost humanlike, almost, uncannily recognizable as female, to the girl. Almost immediately, the spot surrounding the junk began to weep some more of that clear slime, the tart smell of... well, whatever it was, it was almost like bleach, how it smelled and strongly stung the nose, with a hint of sweet to it that lingered uncomfortably in the nostrils, and the junk began to pale, its body moving up over it, taking it in wetly, until it became nothing, leaving the spot larger.

The thing brushed against Mi with a tendril that formed from this spot, brushed some tears from her cheek, and it moaned again in agony, but she nosed in against the touch. "We got lotsa stuff, momma... A whole lotta groceries!"

[Kiseichu Clossiana]

Strange...if she didn't know any better the pickings were sort of thin yet still had a great deal of variety. Perhaps they went through a great deal of it already, looked like it when she took a moment to glance around and about the place while grabbing things here and there. Random guy with his head smashed in and decked out in black with a braid...yup, into the makeshift cart it went among the pile of things she collected! There were even a few limbs here and there that looked as though it was torn apart by a savage gorilla...or a zombie. Probably the trudging undead option...though she had to admit there was something very strange about that zombie she literally stomped on earlier. Being a demon and all....it was easy as eating a delicious cake to sense the black arts for an individual such as herself...and well...none of those deteriorating undead had that about them. Very strange! It was definitely something she'd never seen let alone dealt with at all and couldn't help but be a little curious...even to the extent of how she schemed that perhaps staying here to look for clues to where her boss wasn't such a waste of time after all!

With her grin growing across her lips in an almost seductive fashion as she flung a hollowed out corpse into the cart flashing off a bit of her pearly whites. Things just got more interesting, didn't they?! A childish squeak caused her composure to soften a bit as her amber optics turned toward the sound and saw the sweet, slightly bloodied girl with one of those canine creatures who gave her such fond memories about playing with Sir BITE YOUR HEAD OFF even if it did have more mouths! As her smile seemed to soften a bit as though her heart was getting infected with warm fuzzies at the sight of the little girl and her animal...monster thing friend, especially when it started to wag its tail! How sweet it was to see them getting along so well, their bond was most certainly a strong and powerful one. Something she could expect to be in one of those movies where the power of friendship ended up being the main highlight...with a twist...a twist of peculiar proportions! Strange...when one of the little flashbacks of her hugging onto her neighbor's pet as a little demon girl it made her realize these monstrous creatures didn't have a familiar vibe from them either and they were obviously not something completely normal.

Watching the girl move on over to help her out, she couldn't help but wonder what this girl's organs looked like while her smile transitioned into being sweet as can be. Casting that thought aside for now, it wasn't the time and place to ask someone if it'd be alright for a quick little operation! Taking pause in her whole `grocery shopping` venture, the girl was taking out some of the things that were a tad bit heavy and quite metallic as well. Hmmm...those were a no-no? Resting a hand upon her hip, she figured this child knew more or less what her dear mother needed so she figured anything with a lot of metal was to be left behind from this point. What was left of her collection upon the odd cart seemed to be alright like that half eaten cat and random rat too! Moving her hand off of her hip after a while of watching the strange sorting, she continued grabbing things that didn't look as though it was in the `heavy metal` category....except for a random heavy metal CD she stumbled across.

That seemed just fine, music genre probably didn't count! Chuckling a bit at the irony of it all, the sound of approaching zombies were another thing that gave her a short moment of pause...but then just continued on when the sound of freakish gurgle choking noises drifted about the air. Not to mention that squishy, crunch chomp noise one would expect to hear from a pack of hungry wild animals or a very rude dinner guest who was raised by slobs. That only meant one thing...! Such good monster doggies! Playing watch and guard for them is what the woman with wild locks figured was the case. If she knew them as well as she knew Sir BITE YOUR HEAD OFF, she'd probably treat them like a normal person would treat a super cute kitten!

After tossing a wallet full of money into the cart, her oddly gentle yet curious gaze shifted toward the wolf dog things and blinked a couple of times out of shock. Did they just get bigger?! Shrugging a bit before picking up a random leg and tossing it into the cart. It was a little odd, even for her but it was just one of those things she didn't decide to dwell on for very long as she hummed a happy little melody completely unsuitable for their grim environment. Besides, she was distracted by the fact that cart of hers was completely full and keeping it together was a bit of a challenge to the point where that had to become her main focus for now. Following after them since she didn't have magical, mystical GPS for people or things she lacked a personal connection with. That and she had to follow the group or else that cart was going to fall apart...and she was really curious as to what this little girl's mom looked like! Curiosity was a strange little thing!

Traveling down the car tunnel as things became far more dim and the horrors of the area also became a little more difficult to hear...the touch of smoke haunting the air added onto the eeriness with...different sounds? It most certainly reminded the demon nurse of her very own home sweet home...almost to the point of being homesick. What really got her is how the feeling within the air wasn't as familiar. Foreign even to the regular human world she had gotten to know, definitely not something that belonged in this world! Curiouser and curiouser...! Within the distance there was a light glow that just seemed to get a bit brighter, but at the same time it seemed like the group she stumbled upon by accident seemed burdened by something. The only thing familiar she could feel within the air was the touch of negative emotions which generally made humans the prey of demonic creatures.

Were they getting closer to this `mom` person...or...thing or whatever it was? Ah if only she didn't have to maintain her focus so the cart wouldn't fall apart, then she'd hand out lollipops and say they did the best they could! Alas, that wasn't going to happen, not right now anyway...perhaps later. Those poor things....she almost felt bad for keeping that sweet smile across her lips the entire time...almost! However when she saw the small girl next to the creature buddies who could give a completely normal person a heart attack by their looks look as though she was breaking down...it struck a little cord with her. It was tragic...this girl who was so devoted to her mom with obvious optimism being so...well...just in so much pain. Reaching an elegant, gloved hand toward her in an attempt to comfort her and even add on something sweet in hopes of making her feel a bit better...she stopped herself a bit since the scenery was...well...odd.

Continuing to follow along, she jerked her hand away before staring off ahead to take in the sight of something that reminded her of an individual in her old neighborhood! There were even flames to add the finishing touch to aid her memory in a better visual! Of course whatever the thing was it didn't look EXACTLY like the thing that used to live in her neighborhood...but enough to trigger a short lived flash back since she had to maintain her focus. This was an oddly sad sight, as horrific as the sight would be to a sane person, her nursely instincts were begging to kick into full gear...the only problem was she hadn't a clue what this creature was and may do more harm than good! Humans were such a simple task, so were other creatures with well known origins but not this...this was foreign to her. Following the girl's lead, it seemed like there were a few recognizable things upon this creature...but it was still a bit difficult for the woman with medical knowledge due to how horribly damaged it was.

What she felt right now was similar to animal lovers getting emotional over a fresh batch of road kill twitching and struggling to continue living, gawking at something with their heart strings being tugged at like crazy wishing they could make it all better. That poor little girl's mommy...wait...THAT was her mom?! Goodness this was a new one! Now...how to help this lady thing who made this particular organ obsessed nurse look pretty darn normal! Though the scent in the air broke her thoughts...it smelled like her neighbors yard on Fridays! They burned trash a whole lot...yeah that was some freaky trash...bodies that were left over and unwanted got burned at her neighbor's place. Rubbing her nose a bit since it offered a funny feeling to follow the considerably freakish smell.

The moaning even seemed to offer a sense of familiarity from any and all hospital settings before...if she couldn't find her boss she was going to miss it a lot. That was something to worry about later, after this anyway! Hmmm...was dumping all this junk really going to help? That was definitely something new to her...all this...er...crap...was some sort of miracle worker for this creature? Then again, the girl's mom was something she considered as in its own bracket entirely. ...was that it's head that just lifted a bit after shivering? Maybe they should of grabbed a quilt...? Huh...and that goo...it made her nose feel even more funny...kinda like the cleaning rooms in hospitals when they busted out the bleach...buuut with a twist of some sort.

Watching it carefully trying to figure this thing out, how it took the donated junk was kinda wet, yet another first she'd ever seen! As inhuman and abnormal as it looked, she could see from the way that newly formed tendril brushed away that girl's tears...it had a heart somewhere in there...or at least capable of housing an array of emotions. It was obvious from the moan earlier but this just made it to the point of `durrrr ooof course it has feelings` for her! It would of been great if she had a surgical mask or even better a respirator to filter out the combination of funky smells going on but that was fine, she could tolerate it due to having smelled much worse before. With a grin that seemed a little out of place couldn't help but speak a cooing tone with a somewhat soothing, gentle nature to lace her words, "My my, you have such a sweet little girl, miss~! She worked hard to get you all of these lovely groceries~!"

Motioning her free hand that wasn't tending to her nose toward the cart, she flashed off her pearly whites as though it won something fabulous off of a game show. Seeing how helpful the bunch the little girl had, it was time to do what she came her for...help out! Removing her hand from her nose while closing her eyes for a moment before turning toward the cart, she didn't have enough focus to dump the cart on the girl's...monster mommy type person...creature. Instead, she was following the small girl's example before slinging a slashed up corpse over her shoulder and what looked like a fleshy mess on a bloodied cushion and dropped it off with one of the sweetest smiles she could possibly muster before humming a mellow tune. As though she really didn't mind doing this at all, which she didn't! A boring day...? Not at all! This was quite the adventure and to think it didn't start that long ago!

Besides, she probably met the most motherly looking whatever it was EVER and that proved to be sweetly interesting, so much as capturing her attention as well! That and a part of her hoped to play with the spiky...wolf dog things later...
