Open Finished A couple of girls in a new town

When Sumi mentioned a tail, Flutterpip flew around back and saw he did not have one. Now she was confused (something that was neither unusual nor difficult). Could he be some sort of shapeshifter? Well, that is a personal thing, and she should not ask, so she did not.

She watched with curiosity as he seemed to pushed the wolf pup image onto a scroll. Soon the life-like image wolf pup was now a picture that still looked like it could jump off the page.

"Ooh! You are good!"

Flutterpip appreciating his work add, "I could have made it move. My mon is better at that than me. She might be able to make it a dream creature like she did me."

********

Naisis was seriously ticked! She told Flutterpip not to go wandering off at least, not before telling her. She was tracking her little one by the popcorn scents, although she was detoured by a popcorn vendor. When she finds her, Flutterpip will be grounded for a millennium.

Calling out her name as she went, she finally heard her voice. Wading through the crowd to find her Flutterpip with a stranger - a boy dressed in black and white clothes carrying a very overloaded backpack. She told her about strangers, especially here in a strange town, but she should have known better. Crossing her arms, she gave her little charge a stern look.

"You should not have gone off like that."

"Oh, mom! This is Sumi No Ookami. He draws picture books," she points to the scroll with the wolf pup on it, "He has ink for blood."

Naisis blinks at Flutterpip's last remark. She had met many in her travels in Reality, but none that had ink for blood.

Flutterpip watched with a mixture of amazement and delight as Sume changed into a - wolf? Naisiskhrea did the same but with a look of pleasure in finding a potential actor in her dreams.

When he finished changing, Flutterpip applauded, "you are so cool!"

Naisis was about to comment on the picture, but she held off as she noticed Flutterpip glancing between him and the ink painting. After the third glance, if finally dawned on her, "that is you isn't it?"

Naisis was impressed with both Flutterpip and Sume, "very good." Looking over to Sumi, "can you change into anything? How are you with terrifying dreams?"

Flutter looked at Naisis, annoyed as this was not the first time she had taken control of a meeting or a conversation, "MOM?!"

Naisis looked over to Flutter and chuckled, "it is not every day you find someone with such talent."

Maybe this might not be such an awful place if he was an example of the talent here.

Naisis looked at Sumi and replied, "Actually, I was wondering how well you do in scary dreams."

Looking between them, she shrugged and smiled, "Well, maybe I should hold off on auditions until we get settled in."

She glanced up at Flutterpip and added, "better get you registered for classes."

"Me?! What about you," Flutterpip replied.

Naisis smugly answered, "I do not need any."

Looking around, Naisis realized she was lost, "Um - which way is the academy?"

Naisis sighed. That is what usually breaks the deal. Most can not handle her level of fright, which is why most failed her auditions.

"Oh well, It was worth the try. If you know anyone that can handle a significant fear factor, just let me know."

When he said he would lead them, Naisis stepped aside and gestured for him to lead, "lead on, and we will follow."

Flutterpip picked up on another part of his comment, "Oh, are you are a student? Is it hard? Are there a lot of students? Is their anyone like me?"

Naisis smiled and shook her head as Flutterpip inundated Sumi with questions. But that was Flutterpip, always curious, and full of questions.

Although she did not answer, she did raise a brow at a fee of the words he used. Heartstopper did bring a smile. She had made several very scary dreams, but none of them were heart stoppers.

Flutterpip listened intently as she followed Sumi. He gave a short history of how he came here, mentioning his 'big bro' - which she figured was is big brother. She smiled when he said there were a lot of students here and she might find someone like her. Unlike her mom, she liked discovering new people.

When he mentioned he was a waterbased ink, she covered her mouth and giggled, "are you thirsty a lot?"

Naisis shook her head and groaned a little with a bit of a scrunched up face.
