*ﾟ:*:✼ ❀ — As per usual, Laney dragged Georgia out of her house to go dress shopping with her for the ball. She could trust her honest opinion, even if their styles were a bit different. The blonde had a general idea of what she wanted to wear, but it was still worth it to get a chance to catch up with Georgia. 

“So you’re not going to the ball?” Laney pulls a dress from the racks, takes a quick look over it, then puts it back. “It’s for a good cause, you know.”

“Not that I’m forcing you to, but it might also be a good opportunity to get out there, meet new people~ While Muku is good company, I think he would like to see his owner talk to people for once, hehe.”

Monopolizing transport for all the ranches on the island was difficult, but not impossible, and well worth the hard work. Vaughn had his share of shortcomings-- far more than he would ever admit-- but was an incontestably sharp businessman, tempered in the early years of his career when a bad deal had meant a missed meal, or worse, that still dogged his subconscious. If scheduled effectively, there were often weeks where he had more free time than he knew what to do with, and was forced to find ways to fill it, lest he be left alone with his thoughts and a bottle of something strong instead.

It was during one such week that he wandered into Barley’s Animal Shop for the first time, the front through which Sunset Ranch did most of their business. He knew that Georgia dealt with more than just farm animals, and several of the pets for sale raised an eyebrow, or two-- but when he came upon a pen of what he was positive were wolf pups, the trader’s idle curiosity turned stone cold. 

Storming out of the building, he stalked across the property, face flushed from the biting winter wind and fury both by the time he found the owner of the establishment. Despite being a man of few words by nature, he had a mouthful of choice ones for her.

“The hell kinda business’re you running here, selling wild animals out of a damn pet shop?!” He demanded, jabbing an accusatory finger at the woman. Content as they appeared, clambering over each other and romping about their enclosure, wolves of any age had no business being kept by humans, least of all treated no differently than dogs.

Their partnership be damned. He wasn’t about to compromise his morals, no matter how much money he made through her ranch.

“I oughta turn your ass in to the PWRC.”

Although her move was initially tough, Julia had found that there were a lot of things on this island that helped remind her of home. Not only things, but people, too. One of those people happened to be a certain fiery, redhead that was the complete opposite of herself. One that she often saw growing up, but never imagined that she would run into after moving away from home.

It was true what they said: great minds thought alike.

“Georgiaaa~♪”

The blonde chimed, leaning over the counter of the woman’s shop.

Mist unwrapped the riceball that Georgia had sold her, not even bothering to walk away from the booth before digging in. “All right, let’s see how it tastes, shall we?” she said. With that, she bit in. Soon, there was a small little -poof!- and suddenly, Mist was no longer standing there.

Or rather, she was- but she was much shorter.

And cuter.

Child-Mist didn’t seem much perturbed (or perhaps even aware) of her situation, as she kept munching. She then looked up at Georgia.

“Dis tastes weally good!” she said. “A little funny. But good!” She stood on her tippy-toes, trying to reach one hand over the booth. “Can I hab one more pweeeeeaaaassee!”

@rxzberries;

Upon learning he would be a dad, the first thing Soseki wanted to do was run to the top of the highest mountain and yell it out. Since that seemed like a lot of work and he was sure he would throw his back out doing it, he opted for the easier method: telling everyone he met. 

But the very first person he wanted to tell was in Arcadia. The first chance he got, Soseki made his way over and to Georgia’s ranch. Lucky for him, she was already outside with her horses.

Ideal relationship... it’s been quite some time since he’s thought about the nuances of romance. Time will do that to you, he supposes.

“I’m not really the demanding type, I think. They would have to be cute, and spend time with me... they would watch me work, and we would share food and hold hands. We could watch the sun rise together, and then they’d force me back to bed. Just a nice, simple thing. The kind of thing where you can lean on each other.”

The streets of Arcadia was almost empty. A handful of people were already on the way to work, and Kana blends in the crowd all making the commute. Unlike them, however, he was full of energy. He wasn’t able to visit her yesterday since he was in Leuda, but today was a different today. Today, he starts his day with her.

Everyone had their own reason to rise in the morning, and for Kana, this was it. There was just no comparing starting your day and seeing your most important girl. That was all the motivation he’ll need for the rest of the day, and it helped that he could work and see her at the same time. Talk about luck! Ahh, just thinking about her makes Kana want to run to the ranch!

“Mornin’ beautiful! Miss me???” Kana was way too energetic this early in the morning. He made a loud entrance as he entered Sunset Rach’s barn and expected to be greeted by his lovely gal. Instead, he sees her boss. Of course she’d be up this early, too. If there was one person who could match his dedication to horses, it’d be Ms. Spitfire. “Mornin’ to you too, boss. ”
