[ Action ]
[ So shortly after
this, Polka returns home, all drenched and such. The quiet in the house doesn't register much because hey, it's been quiet like this before and everyone was probably asleep. Still, after hanging up her dripping cloak and parasol, she pads over to check on Frederic in his room

You're one of Viola's friends? ... I know we haven't met yet, but did you want some company right now?
Reply
Yes, she's... she's from the same place I am. [ At the offer, she blinks, and manages a smile. ] Um. Sure. Do you know where the house is...?

It'll be a few minutes, but I'll be there. Oh, my name's Rena, Rena Lanford, by the way. A friend from my home introduced Viola to me.

And ... It's nice to meet you, Rena.

[Eventually Rena does make it to Polka's place. She gently knocked on the front door once she arrived.]

[ And shortly after the introductions and the journals are closed, Polka tidies up the living room and heads into the foyer at the knock. ]
Hello! Are you Rena?
[ OOC: House layout here for reference; I borrowed it over from Viola's journal. ]

Hello, Polka. Yes, I'm Rena. I made some cookies, and I thought you could have some too.
[OOC: Such a gorgeous house!]

Oh! That's really nice of you, thank you Rena. Please, come in. [ She steps back to let Rena in and closes the door after. ] You aren't allergic to cats are you?
[ In the same breath, she glances around the living room, wondering if Foot was down there. ] Foot, we have company! [ Maybe she was upstairs. Hm! Don't be surprised if a kittycat threadjumps though. :D ]
[ OOC: Isn't it? :D ]
Reply
[She thanked Polka on her way into the house and laughed softly. Kittycats are totally cool! :D]
Oh, not at all! You own a cat or two here? I'd love to see them!
[OOC: It is! ^-^ It must've taken some time to find all the right pictures? I can't pick which part of the house I like best, I like all of it!]

I wouldn't say I own her. [ Polka giggles. ] Actually, she's a New Feather - I didn't think that they could be animals, but, wasn't there a lion brought in not long ago too? [ hrm! ]
[ OOC: I wish my house looked like that. XD ]

[The call is muffled a little under Foot comes out from under the sofa, eyes wide and curious as she looks at the new person in the house.]
Reply
Oh, I didn't know they brought in animals either... and a lion too? Wow, that's something I'll have to go see!
[A few moments later, Foot appeared out from under the couch! Rena smiled and knelt down to get a better look.]
Hi... If I had known that you were here, I would've brought you something too.
Reply
[ The house has been pretty busy since Frederic and Viola were taken away huh? Polka is a bit surprised by it. ] Um. Well she can't have cookies, but I think there's some tuna in the cabinet and that's just as good - right Foot?

[Rena smiled, and looked back up at Polka, still gently petting Foot.] She must be really nice to have around. Has she lived here long?
Reply
She's really been wonderful. I don't think I would have managed if she weren't here. [ And Frederic and Viola were gone. She'd probably cry herself to sleep every night. At the question, she shakes her head. ]
No, she's been here... almost a month, I think. Here, let me get a plate and something to drink for these. [ She waves Rena into the living room, while she moves to head into the kitchen for a bottle of milk and a can of tune for Foot. Who is allowed up on the furniture, gasp gasp. ]
