 Lalita chuckled to herself as she wandered down the hallway, her wisp hanging around her head. She was headed for outside and the playground. The laughter was because she’d just remembered a joke that her adoptive mom had told her a few days ago and couldn’t help but laugh at the silliness of it. Her new mom was funny, but had an odd thing for cheese. (There were two entire shelves in the fridge with nothing but cheeses on them.) Lalita swung open the door, holding on for her wisp to float past before letting it shut. She headed right for the swing set, stopping for a moment to look around the area. She saw a few other freshlings outside along with her, but none of them were nearby, as far as she could tell. She leaned forward and secretly wiped a booger on the teeter totter as she passed it on her way to the swings. Lalita sat down on the swing and kicked her feet to slowly start off. The swings were her favorite, because she always felt like she could touch the sky when she swung forward. It made her wonder what it’d be like to have wings, like the fallen or chimeras. She also wondered other things, like what it’d be like to have a tail or tails or upright ears, like a specterfox.... Things like that were on her mind a lot, especially since her adoptive mom was a hollow geist. She had tendrils like a normal geist, but she also had small wings, and a third eye! (Wc: 263)

Gormain really wanted to start collecting familiars. He loved them, and though they were amazing. One day the Grimm boy even wanted to run an adoption agency to take care of unloved, or unwanted familiars so they had a place to be. He always saw other students with them...and he couldn't help be envious. Today was no exception, as he walked from class to go head outside to play, he spied a girl not far off with a wisp floating around her head.
Watching the other walk, the youngster started to walk towards them, curious about their familiar..only he saw something pretty gross. The other's eyes widened as the freshling oh-so confidently look around..and go ahead and dig for a booger to leave behind for the next unsuspecting victim. Who did that?! Blinking, Gormain pursed his lips unsure what to think.
Deciding not to be a tattle tale...or yell at the other instead he cautiously approached the swing set. Raising a brow the Grimm watched her swing back and forth. "You know...I saw that right." He raised a brow. "Also your wisp is really cool...hi...!" His tail began wagging as he watched her swooshed back and forth. Even if that had been pretty gross, he wasn't going to shame her. Everyone was different...he would just have to be careful around the other, or at least be mindful of her secret, deadly weapon.

Lalita shrugged at the other freshling, not concerned in the least that they’d seen her. “ Ehhh, it’s just a bad habit. My new mom is trying to get me to stop, but I can’t help it. And thanks, it found me during the Hunter’s Jubilee.” As she started an upswing she wondered if the other freshling had approached her for any other reason besides pointing out her bad habit. She’d better ask if they wanted to swing on the swing set with her. “ Do you want to swing with me?” Lalita gestured towards the swing to her left (which would be their right since they were facing her) as she passed it on her backswing. She loved swinging on the set and assumed all the other freshlings loved it too. She hadn’t put boogers on any of the swing seats, yet. Her wisp twirled around her for a second then shot over to the other and twirled around their head a couple of times, flashing past their eyes, then dancing around their tail. The wisp’s antics made Lalita giggle. (Wc: 179)

Gormain raised a brow at the other as she didn't seem to react to his obviously trying to warn her that perhaps that was gross. However, she seemed to understand that her Guardian was also trying to teach her..so he wasn't going to harp on it too much. "Yeaah...I hear you. I have a bad habit of claiming a toy..when it was one of my siblings." He looked sheepish rubbing his neck slightly.
Wow, maybe she wasn't so bad after all. Her familiar seemed full of personality. "Ahh! I'm so jealous..I want to run a familiar adoption agency someday." He sighed in a dreamy manner.
Looking at the other, then to the swing, Gormain's eyes lit up. He didn't ask her if she laced them with boogers...although he did give her a side glance. "Um..Sure! Okay, here I come!" The adventurous child darted over to the one at her left side as he plopped down. His paws wrapped around the chains as he rocked slightly, pushing off before moving his legs in time to swing back and forth like a pendulum. As her wisp zipped about their heads he also laughed. "Hehe! It's so energetic, does your familiar have a name?" His tail wagged as he swung back and forth.

She noticed the doubtful look at the swings before the other sat down on the one next to her. Lalita grinned “ Dont worry, I didn’t put any boogers on the swings! Oh! This is Pep and I’m Lalita. What’s your name?” Lalita tilted her head and gave them a quick and curious look. “ You want to start a familiar adoption place? That seems pretty cool! I don’t know what I want to be yet. Mom is studying to be a... reproductive mage? I dunno what it’s called, I forgot. Adoption is cool though! My mom is my mom because she adopted me!” Lalita continued after the quick look, not giving them a chance to even answer her very first question of what their name is. “ Pep must really like you, this is the fastest I’ve ever seen him move!” Lalita exclaimed as she watched the wisp zip back to her then back to the other, circling and bobbing around the freshling, it’s color changing from a light pink to a dark blush and back. “ He seems really excited! I think he likes your idea of an adoption place thingy.” (Wc: 189)

Gormain gave the other a sheepish look as she comforted him from his initial concern she might have boogey trapped the seat. "Alright, I'm trusting you." The Grimm boy replied poking his tongue out playfully. Peering up at the whisp, Gormain titled their head. "Pep? Well nice to meet you Pep, and same to you Lalita." The Grimm greeted. Without missing a beat he replied. "Gormain." He offered, going quiet as she obviously had a lot to say. Which was cool! It was directed at him, he was fine with that.
Nodding his head, he grinned at the other. "Yeah I think so anyway. That is at least my dream..if it works out that's cool, if not I'll figure it out." He shrugged. "Ohhh that's nice! I know my two dad's and mom eventually might have more stones...you were adopted too?" Gormain looked surprised. "I was as well. I have.. a lot of siblings. They help foster kids. They've adopted Tabitha, Kahlua, myself, and Amon. They have three kids of their own right now!" He looked amused.
"Well...I like Pep he is neat!" Gormain pawed at the excitable creature. Peering back at his new friend he looked thoughtful. "I'm glad we both found parents to love us." For the first time..he looked a bit shy as he swished backward on his swing. "Because of my experience...it's why I want to take care of familiars. Everyone deserves a good home." The Grimm's tail began wagging as he grinned.

Lalita grinned in response to Gormain’s own smile. He was a fun person, if you could get past the habit reprimand. Which she supposed she could, it was a bad habit that her mom was trying to fix. Plus she liked his enthusiasm about adoption. “ Yeah adopting is important. Everyone deserves to have family. You have a lot of siblings, huh? It’s just me right now, though my mom wants to adopt more kids, and even have some kids of her own imbuing!” She wondered what it was like to have a lot of siblings in one house all at the same time. Was it a zoo? Lalita watched Pep as he flew around Gormain, zipping up and into an ear. “ Doesn't that tickle?” Lalita points at his ear where her wisp currently hovers amid the fur. (Wc: 137)

Gormain wasn't exactly sorry he had called Lalita out on the booger thing. What if someone had gotten angry and flew off the handle? He could handle it, he had seen grosser..he lived with siblings of varying ages, and three parents who loved each other dearly. It was more of a way to say hey, you never know whos looking. Even without knowing her, the Pack based mindset to look out for those around you was more why he had more or less been blunt with her. He could overlook it...the next kid might not.
Beaming at the other his tail began wagging. "Well! Hopefully, you get some siblings soon. It's nice having quiet time..but a houseful has its benefits too. Especially since we are all each other's Pack as well." He explained. "That'll be cool either way if your mom does! Even if she doesn't...it's okay either way." He wiggled in his swing, his fit of laughter bursting as Pep flew around, and brushed against his flopped ears.
The Grimm's ears wiggled as he giggled. "Yes! That really does noooo." He laughed, trying to cover the top of his head as he flushed from the laughter fit.

Lalita giggled as she watched Pep tickling Gormain’s ears. The little wisp really really liked him. Suddenly Lalita had a wonderful idea. A truly wonderful thought! What if she gave Pep to Gormain? “ Pep, come here for a second! I want to ask you something.” The wisp left Gormain’s ear and floated over to her. Lalita leaned in close and whispered her plan to Pep. As soon as he heard what she planned, the wisp started bobbing up and down excitedly in the air near her face. “ Go on, go back to playing!” Lalita shooed the wisp back over to Gormain. She grinned at Gormain, then tilted her head in curiosity at him. She wondered how he’d react to this surprise. “ Would you like to have Pep as a familiar? I asked him already and he definitely agreed if you accept him!” She could tell that he liked familiars, otherwise he wouldn’t be wanting to create an adoption center for them when he grew up? She was perfectly fine with Pep becoming his familiar, she did have another in her house. She just refused to take her to school because, well..because she was a Gryftoo, and they weren’t exactly known for their smarts. She was afraid Cosette would wander off and get lost in the school, and in the Gryftoo‘s forgetfulness not remember how to get out. (Wc: 227)
