To be honest, there was only one person so far that even came close to being considered a friend. That was Tomoe Tanaka. He was so kind to her and helpful. She could only hope to encounter more people like him. She slowly walked along the streets of Marigold, looking around in surprised confusion of all the activities occurring around her. It was so peaceful when she left; now it was full of visitors from all across Fiore. All races and walks of life, shopping, sparring, holding events, and games.
'What the heck happened while I was gone?' She wondered as she looked around. She wondered if her parents were at home, waiting for her; or out looking for her. Her eyes subconsciously scanned the streets for any sign of her older brother Masado. There was so much going on, she doubted she could spot him even if he was in plain sight. "Knowing Mom and Dad, they probably have Masado out looking for me..."
The noise and activity of the streets had both excited and intrigued the curiosity of her Snow Vulpix. The adorable little animal was looking around with blue eyes widened from curiosity. Six white wispy tails waved from side to side in excitement. White ears with blue inside them twitched at every sound, a tiny blue nose wiggling at every smell. Just as she was about to dart into the crowd, a pair of arms scooped her off the ground.
She whined and struggled, pale blue paws pushing against her captor. "Oh no you don't, Winter. Remember what happened in Orchidia?" Rinni chided. Orchidia wasn't even crowded; if the little fox-creature got loose here, she'd never find her. Winter struggled and whined before finally surrendering with a pout, her ears drooping.
