Out by the lake one faun shakes droplets of water from his coat and squelches up the bank. There on the grass he lays down to dry off, enjoying the September sunshine and looking over the lake and the shadowy forest beyond

There was a slightly purple deity walking barefoot through the grass, carrying his wellie boots in his hands.

When he saw the faun in the grass he stopped, smiling.

[gil_whimple]

Gil smiled too. He couldn't smell Sooty but the wellies were warmly rubbery in the sun.

"Where've you been?" he asked.

[asar_suti]

"Gallivanting," Asar-Suti said. "I found I rather know it all by now. There's this big root in the forest over which I'd stumbled thrice since I first came to Milliways."

[gil_whimple]

"Thrice, eh?" Gil gurgled and rolled over onto his belly to let his tail dry. Nobody he knew apart from Sooty said 'thrice'.

His fingers combed through the short turf and he flicked a demon bunny dropping at a nearby rock where it detonated with a small crack.

Over by the lake, Guppy is walking something small and fluffy that is probably a dog.

He waves at Gil, if he's looking. Guppy that is, not the dog.

[gil_whimple]

Gil waves a languid hoof back and frowns at the - hairy thing. "Didn't know you had a guinea pig," he calls.

[guppy_sandhu]

"I think it's supposed to be a dog." Guppy says with a grin. "Sort of acquired it. Sparky, sit."

The fluffy thing sits. It looks something like a black and white spaniel crossed with a chihuahua and stands just under a foot tall. It also has a mop of black curls and looks suspiciously like its owner in dog form.

Guppy flops next to Gil. "How are you?"

[gil_whimple]

Gil moves up a bit, not because it's necessary but because it's polite - also he's still a bit damp and - damp faun, bleagh.

"I'm fine - enjoying the sun. And you? And - er - Sparky?"
