 Evren was sitting inside the clinic brushing one of the cats that was getting ready to be taken home by one of the customers. Today was actually something Evren was looking forward to. It had been quite some time since Evren had last seen Eva. She had met the girl at the end of summer and with the start of school their schedules had trouble matching up where they could both go on a pet walk. Alyssa with her black hair tied into a long side ponytail was kneeling on the chair looking at her older sister. The nine year old had her lips puckered. “As a reward for going animal walking with you I want something cute in exchange.” “Yes yes.” Evren said smiling. She then passed the cat over to the Alyssa who brought the cat over to the counter. The blonde father was grinning big. “Now now, Alyssa… it wouldn’t hurt for you to try and be friendly with this girl.” “I’m not being friends with anyone just because they get along with Evren. I’m just being a good big sister looking out for my little sister.” Evren giggled at that statement. Alyssa considered her, her little sister because she was only adopted into the family about a year ago. “It would make me very happy if you’ll be nice to her at least.” Alyssa pouted and looked to the side. Evren then looked over at the door at the sound of the door chime.

The end of summer had come and fall brought on the beginning of a new school year. And while Eva absolutely looooved school (and all the friends and nice teachers there) it had gotten in the way of something she had been looking forward to. With a couple of parental phone calls and a finally un-busy weekend they were finally able to set up an official 'play date'.
The chiming of the doorbell proceeded the excited Eva, whose eyes were just as large and excited to see all the potential animals that might be at the clinic as she was to find her friend. Of course she did spot Evren fairly quickly and a hand popped into the air to wave an a happy greeting. "Hiiiii!" Shuffling across the floor (and promptly forgetting about her mother who was following not far behind with a carrier housing their two rabbits) she made her way to the counter, eyes glancing towards the girl that was a little closer to her age with a curious smile before she turned her attention back to Evren. "I'm here. What kind of animals do we get to walk today?"
Maybe that was a little forward and rude, and she settled back lightly, brushing at the hello kitty printed skirt she was wearing, before her fingers clasped politely together in front of her. "When you're ready of course. No rush." But hopefully it wouldn't be too too long.

Evren waved right back as the little girl entered the clinic and smiled at her when she came up to them. "It's nice to see you again Eva." Evren giggled slightly at how excited Eva was to walk the animals. "Ah we'll be walking cats today. They'll be ready when they get here I assume." Evren then put her hand on Alyssa's head. "This is my younger sister Alyssa. She's going to be coming with us on the walk." Alyss puffed her cheek out slightly and decided to answer in a pouty voice. "Nice to meet you." Though she certainly didn't sound like she was happy to meet her.

Catssssss. Her smile widened with delight and amusement happy that she'd ended up dressing appropriately. It would be a lie to say that Evangeline hadn't spent quite a bit of time in front of her closet today trying to decide what to wear for her special play date. But the fact that she'd chosen properly, choosing a skirt and small handful of small 'hello kitty' accessories had her far more amused then she should have been.
"You have a sister? I don't have any brothers or sisters at all."
When the younger girl was mentioned and introduced Eva's attention returned to her, seemingly unphased by the pout and lack of enthusiasm. In fact she'd make up the enthusiasm for the both of them, practically bubbling. "Hi Alyssa, I'm Evangeline. Do you go to Knightside Elementary? What grade are you in?"
Bouncing a little on here toes she was doing her best not to spaz out entirely. But she couldn't help it. She got to walk cats which was fun and funny with a new friend(s).

Alyssa's face went red and she puffed her cheeks a little. "O..of course I go to Knightside... I'm in the third grade." She then seemed to try and shrink herself behind Evren. It seems like she wasn't used to other children giving her attention like that. It was the a blue British short haired cat jumped into Evren's lap. "Oh Regi... Oh Eva this is my cat! You'll be walking him." Regi was a great cat to teach Eva how to handle the leash. He wasn't too lazy or too over excited about walks. Also using her own cat to teach a young girl sounded like a better idea in her head. "I'm sure the other cats will show up soon. They're a litter of kittens who are old enough to have their first adventure. The lady who owns them wanted to make sure they had some leash training before they went to their new homes." They were more showish type cats. "Would you like to try and put the leash on Regi here?"

"Ohhh, I just started fourth grade! Maybe we'll see each other during lunch or at the playground!" Eva beamed. She wondered if Alyssa had the same teachers that she had last year? That was really fun if she did! It was hard to tell that Eva was actually older than the other girl, even if just barely.
Regi saved Alyssa from further pestering as she tried to hide behind Evren, and the young girl happily greeted the cat. "Hello Regi! I'll make sure to be very careful and not pull your leash or step on your tail." She crooned as a hand reached tentatively out to pet the cat. He looked quite a bit different from her long haired lazy lump of a cat.
There was an audible, excited, gasp as the word 'kittens' sounded. Even if there weren't teeny tiny babies the ideas of small little kitties going on their first adventure was sooo cute. Enough that Eva had to resist the urge to ohh and awwww (something that would probably not be resistible when they actually arrived and were all leashed and ready to go).
Thoughts brought back to the task at hand she nodded vigorously. "Sure, I'll do my best! Just tell me what to do and I'll do it."

Evren smiled and walked over to the counter of the clinic and went to grab a cat leash. The leash had a harness made of comfortable woven fibers that wouldn't bother the cats. She smiled at Eva and showed the leash to her. "Alright this is the leash." She picked up Regi again and then handed the leash to Eva. "Would you like to try and put it on him yourself first or do you want me to show you?"

She inspected the harness and leash as it was held out to her, taking it in her small hands to look over for a moment more. It seemed straightforward enough, and as the question sounded she glanced back up to Regi and Evren with determination.
"I can give it a try myself." She stated with a determined nod, but her hands hesitated as she moved the harness towards Regi. "Just let me know if I start doing something very wrong. I don't want to make Regi mad." That said she continued forward, the tip of her tongue sticking out of her lips as she concentrated on trying to slip the harness around kitty feet.

Regi for the most part remained completely pliant as the girl got the harness on him. But he did have his usual why are you doing this to me look on his face... well at least that was what Evren saw. She tried not to chuckle as she knew the cat was doing his best to be on his best behavior. The truth is while Regi like to go on walks the leash thing was something he wasn't amused with. The door then made another chiming noises as it was followed by kitten mewling. "Ah Evren I can't thank you enough for doing this for me." Said a more older woman who walked in carrying a large cat carrier. "It's no problem Mrs. White... ah there are five of these little ones right. Woh they got so big since the last time I saw them." Evren said peering into the cage. "Kittens and children do grow up right before your eye after all. I think you've grown a lot since I last saw you as well." "Mrs. White I don't think I'm growing any bigger any more." At this they both laughed for a few seconds.

Thanks to Regi's patience and compliance Eva slowly but surely managed to get the harness properly around the cats lets after only a couple of tries. And as she secured it she was carefully to try and make sure it wasn't too tight or unpleasant for the cat.
She had just finished when the door chimed and the woman arrived with a carrier full of kittens. The little girl's eyes were wide with excitement as she listened to the sounds the little ones were making, curiously peering to watch them get ready for the walk.
She couldn't wait to to see all the little babies on cute little leashes and to get out to walking. Flashing an excited smile towards Alyssa Eva waited as patiently as she could manage.

When Evren said goodbye to the older woman she smiled when Eva came over. Evren opened the cage and handed two of the kittens to Alyssa. She then picked up Regi and looked the cat over. "You did very good Eva now for an even harder job." She then pulled one of the kittens out of the crate. "You have to put a leash on this little one." The little cat mewled and squirmed in her hands before she went to hand the little kitten to Eva.

A kitten! She hadgot to leash a kitten!!!?
Eva's eyes were wide as she put her hands out to take the little feline offered to her. The smaller cat was much easier on her small hands, and she was carefully to lift the offered kitten gently as it squirmed and wiggled. Leashing the adorable little furball was an entirely different thing though.
Setting the kitten on the counter, one hand gently kept on it's back to keep it from escaping, she took the smaller leash in the other hand. Regi was well trained and easy enough to get ready, the kitten however was putting up quite the fight. As it wriggled and tried to wander around Eva couldn't help but giggles and awwww, having to reslide the harness around it's tiny legs over and over again until all the pieces aligned.
It took awhile, and many gentle tries, full of lots of giggles and struggling, but eventually and finally she succeeded in the task.
"I'm done!" She proclaimed when she was done, looking back up to see Evren and her sister's progress with the others. Stump_Fairy Does this need to be finished by the end of the month? (like are you planning on using it for crown tokens?) If so we can try to pick up the pace and make sure we finish in time. heart

Both Alyssa and Evren had gotten the two other kittens into their harnesses a little while before Eva had announced that she had finished. After looking over the leash Evren gave a big smile. "Good job Eva you got it on perfectly." Evren scratched the kitten underneath its chin before standing up holding all the kittens' leashes. "Eva grab hold of Regi's leash alright. Alyssa get the door please." The dark haired girl nodded and rushed over to the door. "Alright we're all going on an adventure now! We'll see you all later!" Evren's father peered over the counter and laughed and waved goodbye. "Don't be gone too long now." "We won't." Evren replied back.

Her expression brightened with the praise that she'd done a good job and at the suggestion she quickly made her way back over to Regi, taking firm hold of the leash loop.
It was lucky that Regi knew what he was doing, and moved on his own once Eva had his leash and the door was opened, because the child was more than just a little excited as she followed after Evren and Alyssa.
"I'm ready, lead the way!" She chirped happily as she followed them out.Stump_Fairy Sorry for the shorty reply, I'm sure she'll be more talkative in the next post.

Evren waited for everyone to be fully out the door before talking. "Today we're going to the nearby park that isn't too far away from here." Evren tugged the leashes to make sure the kittens where not too far away from her. "Well alright since we're all ready lets-" She turned to go down one way of the side walk Alyssa grabbed the skirt part of her outfit and tugged. "Evren... that's the wrong way." Evren then looked at the raven haired girl for a few moments and then at the other direction. "Ah! Alyssa is right the park is that way!" She said turning around and leading the kittens down the proper path this time. Alyssa rubbed her head and turned to face Eva. "Mom says Ren's head is in the clouds... she gets lost all the time so that's the real reason I'm here." Alyssa said shaking her head like this was something that happened all the time... because it did.
