Swiftcurrent Creek U is for you and me

and now you get a gif too

I'll assume Mae has not met Smushyy yet

The mini Tuwawi squinted her eyes as blurry blobs of color and shapes began to float around her eyes. For a minute she suspected she was still sleeping and the whole waking up thing had been just a macabre part of her dream. Of course it had to be a dream, if not why was a brown glob of fuzziness calling out her name?

She was not aqcuantainced with Valtyr's little adopted plush toy, she had never looked at her brother with careful eyes so the critter clinging to his neck could've been easily missed by her lousy attention.

She watched the thing flail on her brother's shoulder and then fall into the ground. It was far too strange to believe it was real so the girl didn't seem startled with the talking bat. Instead she was convinced she had managed to break the barrier between Real-land and Dreamland and had broken the code which had limited her dreams to be simply images. Now there was sound and tactile feelings included.

But wait.
No, that wasn't right.
Suddenly the cloudy blanket that glazed her eyes dissapeared completely. Her orbs oogled as she realized that the thing that had crawled of Valtyr's head was not product of her imagination. It was real, and it was there.

She drowned a scream from her chest and rose to her paws inmidiately, her brow furrowing and her tail curled over her back. She took careful, yet determined steps towards the little bundle of brown fur, staring it down like she had done to Mr.Beetle at the time.

When she was finally close enough, the fiery babe lifted one of her forepaws and with her heart racing and her lip trembling she smashed it against Smush. She didn't mean to hurt it, she simply wanted to poke it and see what it did.

"Who's you?" she cooed as she pressed her toes over the bat's face. That wasn't the first time Maera failed to introduce herself politely..
