Don't Eat the Plants!

[Evania Charr]

Evania and [member="Poro"] were running around the gardens of [member="Solan Charr"]'s palace on Kesh. The little girl was chasing her Ropo friend through the gardens, catching him and scooping him up in her arms to tickle his belly before putting him down again and letting him run a bit more before she began chasing after him again. It was excellent exercise for the little girl and since she didn't have many friends, it gave her something to do and someone to play with when her father was busy. She just hoped the fuzzy little creature didn't eat too much of her dad's garden or he might not let her keep it.

 

[Poro]

This place is beautiful! So much room to run around in! The flowers weren't particularly yummy, so he didn't spend much time trying to eat them. Poro played this really fun game called "Get chased around a lot and try not to be caught although you will most definitely likely be caught and lovingly hugged!" with his new friend, [member="Evania Charr"]. It was a really fun game.

During their running escapade, he spotted a small dry section of irrigation pipe lying around on the ground and wondered if he could escape by squeezing in. He ran right into it...and got stuck halfway in. His legs were still kicking, so he kept running at a much slower pace with the foot long pipe getting shoved ahead of him. He could barely see where he was going, but he soon saw a rock in front of him.

The pipe hit the rock and, with a squeak of surprise, he was lifted bodily into the air along with the pipe as a result of crashing momentum. He rolled for a short distance before coming to a dizzy stop. He started panting and tried to calm down.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania caught up with him and carefully pulled the little Ropo out of the pipe. She giggled at him and pet his head a few times before pulling a small biscuit out of a satchel tied to her belt. She offered the treat to the terrified little creature, hoping it would help him calm down. "Poro! You can't go running into pipes! You could get lost or hurt," the child explained to her fluffly little friend. She loved having the little creature around the palace, but sometimes he could be a handful. He liked exploring more than she did, and sometimes Evania would lose track of him and get scared. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

Poro gratefully snatched up the biscuit from [member="Evania Charr"]'s hand. He slowly took in the whole biscuit through his mouth. He didn't choke, but it took him a little while to get the whole thing down. She didn't seem to want to put him down, so he laid in her arms and watched where she took them next.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania took him over to a small pond that was located in the gardens. She sat on the edge of it and put the fluffy little Ropo down beside her. Her hand continued stroking it's soft fur for as long as it sat beside her. She was a bit tired from chasing him around and laid back on the ground. She stared up at the sky, trying to think of more games she could play with her little friend. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

(Sorry, [member="Evania Charr"], for the really slow response)

Poro REALLY liked the petting. It took a while, but, eventually, his curiosity won out. He wriggled out of her grasp and sneaked up to the edge of the pond. When he got the the edge, he peered over the side. With his back end in the air, he watched as brilliantly colored fish swam by, some of them staring up at him. Soon after, he stuck his paw down towards the surface of the water to try and reach the fish. He was much too short, though, and he got nowhere near. That didn't stop our little hero, though.

He reached even further, one of his back legs coming off of the ground. A fish quickly darted towards the surface near him and then quickly turned, causing water to flick up at him. Trying to spit the water out and already being unbalanced, Poro fell into the pond.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania gave a small cry of surprised and waded into the pond. She glanced around, searching for the little Ropo and hoping the creature knew how to swim. She finally spotted him, floating near the edge of the pond, and walked over to him, ignoring the now soaking wet state of her clothing. "Poro! Come here!" [member="Poro"] ((It's okay, I've been busy too))

 

[Poro]

Poro could hear the muffled cries of his new friend, and he tried to go to her, but his attempt to swim to her was equivalent to little children trying to fly without pixie dust and happy. His legs kicked and kicked and kicked, but it only served to keep him turning around and around while he ran out of breath.

[Evania Charr]

Evania raced over and scooped the little critter up. She held him closer her chest as she climbed out of the pond. Her new friend was soak so she carried him inside and found a towel to dry him off with. She wrapped the little Ropo in a fluffy blue towel and gently used it to dry him off as she walked to her bedroom.

"You need to be more careful Poro! If you're going to play in the pond then you need to learn to swim! If you don't learn to swim you could drown in the pond when you try to play in it!" Evania explained as she laid on her bed with him. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

It was a relief to get out of that pond. It was officially decided in Poro's mind that fish weren't worth it. When she toweled him off, he let off a sneeze that forced him further inside the folds of the towel. As he felt himself get carried around inside of the towel, he tried to finagle his way to an opening and find some oxygen. A fold of the towel came away and he saw her face. This caused him to smile.

When they laid on the bed, he got onto his feet and started to walk around under the folds of the towel. He finally came out from under the towel and rushed over to [member="Evania Charr"]. Lifting up his two front paws, he placed them on the side of her face, staring at her eyes and panting happily.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania giggled and reached up to gently pet the soft fur on her pet's head. She thoroughly enjoyed having the small creature around. It was nice to having someone to play with and snuggle. She cuddled the creature close and smiled, happy to have someone other than her daddy to love and play with. Solan was fun to spend time with, but he was her dad and could be a little overprotective when she wanted to do things. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

He started to try and climb over her neck. Once he got a good enough position, he hoisted himself up...and over...and he face planted into the soft bed on the other side of her neck. He rolled until he was on his back, all four of his legs flailing in an attempt to get himself back up onto his stomach while he was on this soft bed. He saw the impressive "fort" of pillows at the top end of the bed.

So, looking at her and making a noise that could be taken as a giggle, he bounded over to the pillows, jumped into a crevice, and wriggled his butt/kicked his legs until he got through and disappeared into the pile.

[Evania Charr]

((Hey sorry it's been so long, my internet is not the best right now))

Evania giggled as she felt the Ropo wiggle it's way into her pillows. She moved her head so she wouldn't accidentally crush the creature and slowly reach her hand into the 'fort' Poro has decided to hide in. She moved her hand around until she felt the soft creature and gently pet his side. "You better not try to hide in their while I'm sleeping, Poro. I don't wanna accidentally hurt you if I roll over or something." [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

Poro climbed and climbed upwards into the blanket palace, the hand right behind him. He made a quick turn up into one fold of blanket and lost the hand that followed. He continued to climb and paw his way up until he poked his way out of the top. Sitting on top of the blanket, he squeaked at her once before disappearing back inside. On Hoth, this game was called "Nanny Nanny Boo Boo; You Can't Catch Me".

(I'm also sorry for being late)

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania giggled and continued searching though the blankets for Poro. The little Vahla began shifting around blankets and pillows until she finally uncovered the fuzzy creature. She tickled his side and smiled before rolling off the bed and diving under it. Now it was Poro's turn to search for her. That was how "Hide and Seek" worked after all and she didn't want to let Poro have all the fun with hiding. [member="Poro"]

((it's all good))

 

[Poro]

Poro squirmed on his back, squeaking happily and uncontrollably as he tried to evade the ticklish finger. The finger than disappeared, he heard a wump on the ground, and he opened his eyes. [member="Evania Charr"] was gone, so he got back on his legs and looked around. He waddled over to each corner of the bed, looking for his friend. Eventually, he gripped a corner of a loose bed sheet with his mouth and jumped over the side of the bed, slowly sliding down to the ground. Underneath the bed, he saw a mess of shoes and clothing.

So, our brave hero, Poro, bravely set off and crawled through the rubble in search of his lost friend.

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania felt Poro climb onto her and walk across her lower back. She giggled and fought the urge to flail around as she was afraid of harming her fuzzy friend. The feeling over his little feet moving across her back tickled alot though and she wasn't quite sure how much longer she could stand it. The little girl wiggles from side to side a little as he continued to crawl around on her. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

There was a large mound of clothing that looked familiar amidst other dirty clothing. It was an intimidating obstacle to surmount, so he bravely turned his stub tail and fled out from under the bed. Maybe she left the room? He shoved the door further open with his body and ran down the hallway.

[member="Evania Charr"]

 

[Evania Charr]

Evania slowly wiggled out from under the bed when her furry little friend fled the room. She saw the door, which was now wide open, and shook her head. Poro had apparently left the room. She slipped around the door and pressed up against the wall, carefully stalking down the hallway after the little Ropo. She was doing her best to try and be stealthy as she stalked her friend down the hallway. When they were finally nearing the end, she pounced, scooping him up and cradling him in her arms. [member="Poro"]

 

[Poro]

This was a large hallway. Not just because of Poro's size, but because the building itself was grand. There was a lot for our hero to take in, so he didn't notice the stealthy little girl sneak up behind him. He squeaked in surprise and started breathing heavily. He was pawing at the air, trying desperately to be free of his captor. Too late did he realize that is was only [member="Evania Charr"] before he accidentally fell out of her grasp and fell down the stairway.

His naturally fluffy and soft body allowed him to come away from the long fall with little damage, but his skin was likely going to bruise. He was still breathing heavily when he looked up and saw a rat scamper across the floor. It had black fur and red eyes and it stopped halfway across the floor. It turned to stare at Poro, it arched it's back, it took some tentative steps toward him...and then it started to run at him. Poro squeaked loudly in distress in hopes that the pretty human could hear him.
