Still uncomfortable with the idea of walking around the City after dark without Father Squirrel there to protect her from mashers and muggers and other unpleasant types of people also beginning with the letter M, Mother (who was not one of them, despite her initials) had taken to doing her daily walks during the sunshine hours. Not only would she be able to see anyone suspicious approaching, others would be able to see her and help out if something did happen.

At least, she hoped they would do that. She wasn't entirely certain the people of the current era were as kind and caring as they ought to be.

It came as a shock to her, then, to see someone not only smiling and happy, but handing out free food. Mostly-healthy, good-looking food, at that. Not the best, likely, considering it was out in the open in a place with such filthy air, but still none of the hot-dog rubbish in the metal carts she'd warned the network about a couple of weeks ago. And fruit was a better option than anything else.

Approaching Giselle, Mother Squirrel folded her paws in front of herself and sniffed the air around a tiny pile of cupcakes, her nose wrinkling just so and the big bushy tail sticking out of her dress twitching twice.

Mmm. Just right.

"How marvelous. Did you make these yourself? Your mother must have taught you very well."

At that moment, Giselle was waving a couple off with a pair of cupcakes, beaming and letting a light, satisfied sigh escape her. When she turned her attention to the new body approaching, she gasped. She couldn't help it, because...Because that was the biggest squirrel she'd ever seen in her whole life! Of course, a hand went to her mouth to smother the codfish look she had going, but her big eyes still gave way. The expression persisted throughout Mother's remarks, lingered just a few moments thereafter until she could think to draw her hand away.

Her mouth began to split into a smile of delight. The biggest squirrel she'd ever seen, and...in such an adorable dress!

"Oh, goodness," she uttered, a delighted laugh mixed into her voice. She curtsied at the compliment. "Why, thank you so much! But I wasn't all by myself. I had a few friends helping me keep things in order, or I'd have lost my place, making so many things at once!

"But, please!" Her hand waved over some of the wares. "Please, try any you like! As many as you want. I don't mind at all!"
