A little update to the minis I adopted from the @minibittyprotectionorganisation!
I took the Swap and Edge home. Though the Edge was trying his best to mask it, I knew he wanted some affection so I gently pulled them both to sit on my lap on the bus ride home, not minding the gazes of others as I placed their bed boxes at my feet, careful not to jostle them.
I gently talked to them, carefully getting a better feel of them and letting them get a better feel of me. I really want to make a good impression.
The swap seemed to be very open, his voice low with a gentle drawl. The edge seems to be more curt, but the changes in his voice helps in knowing the emotion and meaning behind his words.
I couldnāt help but feel their happiness, and I gently nuzzled them and smooched their heads. They both blushed, but the edge made a bigger deal that he didnāt want one, and he didnāt like it, but it was pretty easy to tell he loved the affection.
I asked how long theyāve been in the centre and they sort of didnāt answer straight. Only saying a while. I didnāt press further. I didnāt need to. Theyāre with me now, and I was already given a bit of their background. Thay was enough.
I mentioned about the edgeās collection of left socks. I asked him if he stole them because he wanted to be on the āright footā with people.
I gotta commend him that he really tried. He really tried to not laugh. But he snickered and covered his mouth and he teleported into his bed box to avoid letting me see him lose it.
The swap commented that was the first time anyone made the edge laugh like that. He said I wasnāt too bad and that weāll definitely get along.
Once we arrived back home, I let down their bed boxes and shifted them to a quiet space in the room near my bed.
I told them that it isnāt much, and a little messy, but itās home. And itās their home now, so yeah.
I could tell that it meant a lot to them to hear that.
I also asked if there were any names I should call them, since probably calling them Swap and Edge isnāt entirely creative, nor respectful. They said they used to have names, but they donāt use that anymore. They donāt even remember it now. Iām free to name them however I want. The edge threatened that I better make sure itās good.
So thatās my main conundrum now. But they seemā¦really happy.
