I apologize for the lateness of this, but I've just come back to dig (ha) through this meme and what a joy it is to stumble upon one of my prompts filled! There's no need for you to apologize - it's true I had prompted for something on the wacky side, but what you wrote for me is even *better*. I actually really enjoy plausible, well thought-out back stories like this one~
That said, I think you did a great job fleshing out Mole's character! The salesman father wasn't something I would have thought of and yet it fit him perfectly~ I liked how very integrated his lifestyle was with dirt - the descriptions of the different kinds and his reactions to them were a nice touch, plus the instance where being covered in dirt all the time bolstered his immune system and saved him from the disease that took his parents was clever. I must admit that I was very amused by the idea of him not caring what everyone thought and burrowing nude towards the end - and when he met That and Whitmore! Pff priceless! And the little mention of Audrey's take on the story was the perfect way to wrap it up~ XD
Thank you so much for writing this for me! Not gonna lie - I kind of want to taste dirt now ahaha~
