paracosmkit sat by themself, in the corner of camp, in the nursery. they hummed a quiet melody, making it up as they went along, suddenly interrupted by rustling in a nearby bush. cosmo poked nighttime orange head into the leaves curiously after a moment pf internal debate. at first night couldn't see anything, but eventually spotted a small (absolutely miniature, about the size of nighttime paw) rodent. a mouse of some sort, with a dark mask over its light brown face. it was adorable, paras thought with awe to fallself. suddenly the creature turned its head towards them and scuttled nearer. it paused for a moment longer, bushy tail twitching cautiously. 'hi,' cosmo murmured in a slow, friendly tone, trying not to scare it. it came even closer, right by asmi's paws and tilted its little head. what could it be thinking? aco wondered, pondering if maybe it was thinking the exact same thing. and unexpectedly, it made the tiniest, cutest little 'squeek!' you could've ever heard, and their heart practically melted in adoration. while distracted by the noise, the creature took its opportunity and scurried up paras' leg and sad comfortably on their highlighter orange shoulder. 'you.. want to be my friend?' night asked breathlessly. 'squee,' it affirmed, cuddling further into parable's soft fur. a smile spread over nighttime features as night admired it. 'alright. I'll call you ... eventide. nice to meet you.' [finish]
