@) @? *having drawn enough butterfly bodies that Hamnet needs to catch up with the wings, they take a break to watch their daddies draw*
*lifts up as well. Her eyes are on Ribbon, just, contentedly looking at her smile*

^U^ it should be easy to find a pet store from up above. 0U0 *starts flying a little faster and higher, remaining conscious of your position, and ready to slow if you're not wanting to speed up*
[=@=] *they are drawing quickly, and the simple form of a wolf contained within 1/2 of a circle is starting to take shape. they are making the lines outlining the wolf very thin*

*she matches Ribbon's height and speed. It's a rare moment in which she's taking joy from flying; right now it isn't a remonder of a role forced upon her, but something to share with Ribbon*
[=@=] yes. andtherewillbeanotherwolfintheotherhalfofthecircle. *they start heavily shading in the other half of the circle, leaving white spaces where the outline of the wolf should be* onewithasimplerstory,butaworthystorynonetheless.

= sounds good.
0U0 *theres the auto store near the front of the place... the book store... ah, over there! theres a pets place* ^u^ think I found one. 0u0 right next to... 0~0 the 'lusus treat traders' store. 0u0 *ironically, the two stores look to have very similar things for sale*

[:]) *that's enough butterflies for now. Hamnet reaches for another sheet of paper, for the turtle picture*
I guess the line between "parent" and "pet" must be a bit blurry for trolls...

0~0 oh? 0u0 well thats a relief. for a moment there i had thought it was selling the animals as snacks FOR lususes. ^u^ *starts to descend, aiming to land before the pet store*

^u^ thankyou! *lets go of your hand so that you and she can easily go about the store* *inside, it looks to be a standard pet store, with the notable exception of a few mutant cats for sale* *the Dersite at the counter remarks, "no flying inside", without looking up from their paper once Ribbon enters* 0~0 0u0 ok. *Ribbon touches down, slightly disapointed*

= sounds exciting! =
*a closer look shows that there is both a few medium turtles to be found, and a door in the back with the label, "non-earth pets"* *guess the more 'earth-like' form of this town lead to a mild bias in what goods were displayed. More 'alien' towns in other places would be much more likely to have fewer earth things* ^u^ ooh, there's bunnies over here.
