Mequis Adoption

Walking out of the forest, you come to a rather large meadow, with a stream flowing down one side of it. The meadow is filled with different types of wild flowers. As a grasshopper lands on your leg, you realize that it is also filled with insects. Otherwise, it seems empty.

"I wonder what this is for?" You wonder to yourself as you walk through the thigh-high grass. When you hear the grass rustle behind you, you don't think anything of it. That is, until you are tackled from behind! You feel the weight of something on your back, and hear a voice. "Heh! I caught you sleeping there, traveler! You're going to have to be more observant in the future, ya know!"

The weight shifts on your back, and then leaves completely. You quickly get up, and turn to face your attacker. To your surprise, it's a white cat creature, with yellow stripes. And a beak. And hooves. What the... you think. "What are you?" you ask incredulously.

"Me? I'm a Mequis from Mequis Meadows in the EverRealm. My name is Skydance, and I'm a queen mequis, ya know. That just means I'm female, ya know. I'm a wild mequis, so I don't know who my parents were, ya know," she says, looking out across the meadow. "Do you like this place? Lyon fixed it up real nice, didn't she? It's absolutely perfect, doncha think? I do, ya know."

As you watch Skydance lounge about, you realize that you've heard her speech patterns before... in a certain blue-haired anime character... or at least his dubbed version. (Lyon: ^_~ hint hint) She notices as you try to keep yourself from chuckling.

"You shouldn't laugh at me, ya know." She says, slightly miffed, as any feline would be that someone wasn't taking her seriously. Of course the sentence only icreases your amusement. She looks at you like you're an idiot, and regally walks off. She doesn't get too far, however, before she notices a bug that really must be pounced, and does so, which ruins the effect. It also causes a giggle to escape before you can contain it. Skydance turns and stares at you.

Realizing that you better leave before you make a complete jerk out of yourself, or burst, you choke down your laughter, and call out to her, "I'm sorry, Skydance! I didn't mean to make you mad. But I have to go! So I wanted to apologize."

She turns to you, and says, very regally, very deliberately, "Apology accepted, ya know," and then watches as you flee across the bridge over the stream, to keep from giggling at her again.
