 As was becoming normal for Aisling, she always had her familiar and loyal companion, Ginger, with her. The Spectrefox had become her constant companion. With white fur that matched Aisling's hair, the two seemed to be complimentary. While Ginger may have been solitary in nature, preferring only Aisling's company to anyone else's (including the pesky Pumpka familiar that Aisling kept in her dorm), Aisling was the opposite, going out of her way to find other friends, whether they be familiars, Nightmares or Daydreams! It didn't matter how old they were or what they looked like, Aisling was just happy to make more friends!
Which was exactly what she was planning on doing today at lunch. While she normally went to find Bridget, she had been having a difficult time finding her fellow Hallow and dear friend as of late, so she decided that the first student that stood out to her in the lunch hall that day would be the one she'd sit with!
Thus, she entered the lunch room and went to get her school provided lunch. Then, turning around once she retrieved it, her eyes started scanning to pick out who stood out to her today.

"Almost... got it..." Sphinx was sitting alone at a table. There were a good three seats on either side of her as she worked. She had a half eaten lunch sitting beside her on the table while she seemed to be fussing with a brown paper bag. She was folding it and unfolding it, tongue sometimes sticking out of her mouth as she worked. There were a few art supplies on the table with her. Some crayons, glue, and glitter. She appeared to be making some sort of top hat out of her lunch bag.

With her bagged lunch now in hand, Aisling had started walking through the crowd of students. Taking pause when she saw another Freshling like herself working at a table by herself, she smiled. Hurrying up to the other, she peered over her shoulder at what the other was working on, noting the glitter with glee.
"Hiya!" She announced herself loudly from behind the other Freshling. "I'm Aisling! This is Ginger!" She waved a hand towards Ginger. "I like your glitter and your ears! Can I sit at your table?" She asked eagerly. She liked glitter as much as the next Freshling, but when she had noticed the soft seeming ears on top of the other girl's head, she knew she just had to sit with her!

"Hmm? Yeah sure, hey, give me your hand a second." She took Aisling's hand without waiting for a reply, and placed it on a seam of her craft. She was then able to grab the glue to stick it in place. "THANKS! I needed an extra hand for that. Feel free to sit with me." She looked over at the specterfox, eyes wide. "AAAW! I'm so jealous! You have such a pretty specterfox!"

Aisling let out a gasp when her hand was taken and placed down on the craft, but when it was let go, she didn't seem much distressed. In fact, she was smiling more than ever, for she'd never met someone so outwardly forward and fun before! Moving to sit down, she looked up when the other girl remarked on Ginger. Her eyes lighting up, she became rather animated as she launched into a retelling of how she and the Spectrefox had met.
"Isn't she just?" She said with a pleased smile. "Her name is Ginger, short for Gingerbread. We met at the Winter Solstice celebration, right here at the Academy! She started following me around for one reason or another, but well, I didn't mind then and I don't mind now." She held out her hand to the Spectrefox and Ginger placed her muzzle in it.
Stroking Ginger's soft fur, she went on. "I've also got a Pumpka, but he stays in my dorm, cause otherwise I'd have to carry him everywhere. His name's Pooka! I love familiars, they're the best! Especially soft ones. Soft, fuzzy ones are also the best! I wanna get a Fennekit, but I don't know if Ginger would like that very much. She tends to avoid Pooka..." She shrugged. "You can pet her, if you want!" She said, while she began to retrieve her juice box, fruit cup, sandwich and cookie from her lunch bag.
"What's your name?" She added, realizing she didn't know it yet.

Sphinx looked at her hands, covered in glue and glitter. "...I... should probably wash before I touch her. Mister always gets mad when I touch his fur when I'm sticky, and glitter sticks to Lady's fur so badly! I wouldn't want to upset Ginger." She smiled at the specterfox, then leaned her face close and rubbed her nose against the familiar's muzzle. "This will have to do for now." She gave the fox's nose a kiss and giggled. "OH! I'm Sphinx. You have a pumpka too? SO COOL!" She held up the lopsided top hat she was making. "I have kidden, her name is Lady, and a vespercat named Mister. I'm making this for my rammykin. I haven't thought of a good name for him yet, but I think when I give him this hat, I'll be able to name him. After all, Lady wears a crown and Mister has a hat. So my rammykin needs one too." She rambled.

Aisling tilted her head slightly to one side when the girl started to mention names, but it was explained shortly thereafter, including the girl's own name: Sphinx!
"Cool name," She began, but her eyes widened when she went on to say that she had her own familiars! "What's a rammykin?" She asked, never hearing of one of those familiars before, but it sounded really cool! "My friend Bridget's got a Vespercat, but I don't remember what she named it. She met it at the Winter Solstice where I met Ginger." She added with a smile. "I'd love to meet Lady and Mister sometime, if that's okay! I've never met a kidden before." She said, wistfully.
"What house are you in?" She added as an afterthought. "I'm in Eldritch!"

"I can show you pictures!" She paused, looking at her hands. "... hang on one moment!" She jumped up and ran to the washroom. She returned a moment later, still drying her hands on a paper towel. "OK! first thing's first." She gently pet Ginger. "It's nice to meet you. You're very pretty." She sat back down and fished around in her pocket. "I'm in Arkham. Ah, here's my phone." She was supposed to only use it for emergencies... but Aisling didn't know what a rammykin was! This was definitely an emergency. She scrolled through a few pictures before showing her screen to Aisling. "This is my rammykin."

At the idea of pictures, Aisling leaned forward eagerly. However, off ran Sphinx and she was left staring at the space that she used to be sitting at. Deciding not to waste time gawking, Aisling was poking a hole into her juicebox with its straw when Sphinx returned.
After Sphinx pet Ginger, to which Aisling smiled, she leaned again over the table to see Sphinx's phone and the picture of this supposed rammykin. When she saw the fluffy black bundle, she let out a squeal of delight. "It's so CUTE!" She said, her wings flapping in her excitement. "How did you get one? Omigosh, I want one..." She said, her three eyes round.
In all her excitement, she barely registered what house Sphinx said she was from, but based on the glitter, it was probably the artsy one, whatever it's name was. In the meantime, she was still beaming down at the rammykin photo, looking wistful.

"I got him at the last Hunter's Jubilee!" She blinked then sighed. "I have had him for a year and I haven't even named him." She sighed. "UGH! I'm not a worthy ownerrrrrrrrr!" She threw her arms around Ginger and pretended to cry into the specterfox's fur. "But I still want more." She giggled and looked at Aisling.

Aisling smiled widely as she heard Sphinx go on about her rammykin. Now she was even more determined to go to the Hunters Jubilee festivities that year! Maybe she would find another familiar to call her own!
"I know what you mean." She laughed at Sphinx's dramatics. "I want a whole collection of them! I'm hoping that when I'm older, I'll be able to be like a caretaker for familiars! Or something like that, anyway." She looked at Ginger, who looked back at her and she leaned forward to stroke the top of her Spectrefox's fur. "Maybe if I work hard, I can buy a big ol' ranch for all my familiars and me to live or something. It could be like an outdoor playhouse for any familiar breed to come and play, like a vacation!" She giggled at the thought, the idea taking root in her mind.
"As your rammykin, maybe something that sounds similar? Cause if you've been calling it rammykin all this time, it might get confused if you suddenly try to call it something different one day." Aisling thought for a moment. "Maybe... Sammy? That rhymes, right?"

"I..." She blushed harder. "I've been calling it 'hey you' most of the time. Sometimes I call him love, or fluffy buns. Naming things is so hard!" She whined, then looked seriously at Aisling and Ginger. "Maybe I should call him Hugh. Then it still sounds like hey you... but is really a name. Do you think he'll like it? And the hat I made him?" She held up the glittering mess.

Aisling took a bite out of her sandwich and chewed it thoughtfully as Sphinx explained what she'd been calling the rammykin for the time being. She was taking another bite, when the name Hugh was suggested. She nodded.
"I think Hugh is a great name." She confirmed. "And I definitely think he'll like the hat too! I mean, who wouldn't? It's got glitter and everything!" She replied. She went on to eating her sandwich, then her fruit cup and then finally there was her cookie. After a moment of looking at it, she picked it up and broke it in half. "You can have some if you want." She offered, holding out the offered half to the other Freshling.Lural Added a little more so you have more to work with. :3

"Hugh... Yeah. Yeah, that will be his name from now on then! Thanks uh... oh... I forgot your name already. I remember Ginger's name though!" As if that made up for forgetting Aisling's name. When Aisling offered her half the cookie, she smiled. "Thanks!" She took it carefully and stuck it in her mouth before reaching into her bag. She pulled out a little snack pack of mini cupcakes. There were 2 tiny cakes in it. She opened the pack and handed one to Aisling. "Hrrr. Phffor ooo." It was hard talking with the cookie in her mouth.
