Open Finished A couple of girls in a new town

Now it was Flutterpip's turn to be embarrassed, "sorry, I did not mean to embarrass you. That was supposed to be a funny..." Her voice got quieter near the end.

Naisis smiled, "not to worry, the only one of our kind that is any good with jokes and puns is Shadow-fur. And he flubs it on occasion."

Flutterpip never wanted to hurt anybody's feelings, so when Sumi tried to make her feel good, she was happy, his feelings were not hurt.

"Well," Flutterpip giggles, "I am not too good with jokes, either."

After mentioning he made funny comics she asked to see them sometime.

Pondering whether to ask for that wolf picture, she convinced herself with the idea he made it for her - kind of, "can I have that wolf picture?"

Naisis looked at Flutter flabbergasted, "Flutter you do ask for things like that."

"Why not? It is a good picture. And, who would not like an original Sumi? One day it might be hanging in the Louvre," she said smugly. Naisis blinked with amazement. Where did she learn that?

Actually, it was by accident. She heard someone talk about it. After that, she has always wanted to visit this big building filled with pictures.

When Flutterpip saw just how excited Sumi was, she got thrilled, "Good for you! Everyone should have a dream!" When she figured out what his dream was, she was confused.

Looking up to Naisis, which had a bemused look on her face, she asked, "can people become gods?"

Naisis pondered the question a long while before shrugging. She did not have an answer.

Turning back to Sumi, she smiled, "I truly hope you get your dream."
