"Hello stranger."
Shanti let out a shriek of surprise, spinning around to see Eight standing there with a smirk on her face. That wasn't fair! She'd snuck up on her! The Dreamlet fell backwards and sat down, cooing softly when she was picked up and pet.
"Can't say that was entirely what I'd hoped, but it'd been fun nonetheless." Eight laughed, lifting Shanti so she could sit on her shoulder and looking around. Hm...where was everyone? The halfling shrugged a bit and glanced at Shanti in the corner of her eye, petting the top of her head gently and smiling. "You have fun while I was gone or did you just sleep the whole time?"
Shanti chirped happily, closing her eyes at the petting and flapping her wings a bit. This was the life! She tilted her head a bit at Eight's question, shaking it and hopping up and down on her shoulder. She'd had lots of fun! The peaceful feelings she was giving Eight was a much better answer, she thought.
