Peppermint hadn't been to the shop in ages. In fact, the last time she'd visited, she was still only a kit. And now, from what she'd heard from the others, there were some new faces.
Unable to contain her curiosity any further, 'Mint went to investigate, hopeful she'd get to see one of the newbies.
"Hullooo? Anybody here?" she called, poking her thread through the doorway and smiling at the sound of the familiar welcome chime.

 Rocinante wakes up and yawns sleepily, having slept there overnight while hiding. She stands up shakily and looks around, squeaking with surprise at seeing the stranger. "H-h-hewwo?" she nervously says in a quiet voice.

At the sound of the small voice, Mint's ears twitched then swiveled in the kit's direction, quickly followed by her eyes.
"Aww, cute. And you've got such lovely markings," she sighed enviously, slipping the rest of the way inside and moving to sit down a reasonable distance from the shy baby.
"My name's Peppermint but you can just call me Mint or Pep or whatever," she babbled enthusiastically.

She moves away slightly as Peppermint gets closer, not being sure of herself. "I'm Rocinante," she squeaked, still feeling incredibly shy. She watches the fully grown female, tripping over herself while backing up slowly. "Ooof!"

"Rocinante?" Mint repeated, intrigued by the odd-sounding name. But before she could say anything further, the poor little kit tripped over her own paws, making the older female smile.
"Are you ok, Rocinante? No reason to be afraid..unless I'm having a bad fur day an' look really scary or summat.." she trailed off thoughtfully, looking down at herself, her bright red eyes scanning her coat for imperfections.

Peppermint looked up at Rocinante, taken aback by the compliment, then she promptly blushed and tittered charmingly, covering her face with one paw while she held out the other toward the tiny kit.
"Oh, you silly thing. Thank you very much. But you are soo much prettier than I am," she chirped, amused by the whole thing. Mint, pretty? Honestly.

The kit slowly moved towards Mint, nuzzling her paw. "I am?" she squeaked happily, not really believing it, but enjoying the compliment all the same. The kit started wandering around, trying to convince Mint that she had been distracted by something elsewhere in the shop.

Easily distracted and overcome by curiosity, Mint got to her feet and, crouching slightly, wandered after the younger female.
"Lose something, Rosie?" she asked, swiveling her ears in all different directions while her tails swirled in never-ceasing circles. The candy-colored tem had trouble keeping still..

"I thawt I saw sumthin', " Rocinante said quietly, quivering slightly. She takes a tentative step forward before leaping back, turning to try and tackle 'Mint, but falling short and stumbling onto her own face.

"Oooh, what'd ya see?"
Mint moved to follow after the kit, wondering what had caught Rocinante's attention. Maybe something shiny?
Lost in her internal wanderings, Peppermint was a perfect target for an ambush but, evidently little Rosie wasn't especially coordinated.
With a giggle, the adult female lowered herself all the way to the ground and stretched out, touching her nose tip to the younger tem's.
"You alright there, Cujo?"

Rosie took the opportunity to jump on 'mint's head. "Who are you callin' cujo?.... What's a Cujo?" she demanded in her tiny voice, looking down at her "prey" confused. She loses interest rather quickly upon seeing 'Mint's tails moving then sets upon them.

Peppermint would have answered, in fact she'd even started to open her mouth to do just that, but Rosie's interest turned quickly to her red and white striped tails.
Giggling lightly at the quirkly little kit's antics, 'Mint swished her tails to and fro to keep her entertained.

Rocinante fervently attacked Peppermints tails, giggling every time she caught one or was hit in the face.

Glad that Rocinante was enjoying herself, 'Mint watched the kit with a soft smile.
She hoped someday she could be a mom and have little ones. She idoliazed Lumi who was happy with her mate and three, count 'em, three children..
Pulled out of her reverie by the tinkle of the welcome bell, the striped female looked up at the door and smiled, seeing one of her siblings.
"Hello Fez!"Feza stepped into the shop with his pixie in tow, swishing his lavender-tipped tails. Immediately he was greeted by his sister's voice and he smiled very slightly, raising a paw to acknowledge her.
Then his purple eyes fell on Rocinante..
"Oh good lord, there's more now?" he said, adopting a tone of disgust. Hadn't there been enough kits jumping all over him and making it impossible to get anything productive done?
