"She's gorgeous," they sighed, making sure there were equal scritches for every ear, and offering under-the-chin scritches, too, because most animals that liked the ear scritches also liked the chin ones. "Where'd you find her?" And then, because Quanil couldn't not ask questions at a time like this as they came to them, "Does she act like a kind of bouncer, running off the troublemakers? That would be both adorable and possibly terrifying. Can she fly? Does she like doing loop-the-loops? What's she eat? Probably a carnivore, I'd guess, maybe an omnivore? Does she have a favorite food? I could see if I could get it for her!"
