mini animal adoption fair

With a lot of work and permission from his boss at Paranormal Critters Adoption Center, where he volunteered, Milo was hosting a pet adoption fair at Starlight in the courtyard today. It was partly to advertise for his Student Council running, but mostly an excuse to get the animals new homes and gather more donations for their wellbeing.

There were a few tents set up with animals in nice containers or gated areas, as well as some cuties that wouldn't wander off too far relaxing on the lawn and exploring. Everything had supervision from him and a few helpers so they wouldn't be getting hurt, and there was a sped up adoption process offered so visitors could leave with their new companion right away if they wanted to. There was a box for donations to the center with ribbons and stickers on it, and a little pamphlet with information on what the money would go towards.

It was a nice day. The area was decorated well, pleasant to be in, and there were even snacks and cakes offered at one table. Milo sat relaxed in the grass with several kittens in his lap, chatting with anyone around when he could, on both the subject of adorable little furballs and his ambitions for the council with equal amounts of passion. He may or may not have been wearing a fluffy pink scarf with a bunny pattern on it, and doodling the animals in a little notebook.

Milo smiled at Vinanye, oddly amused by the statement. Vin was good to have here, despite, or even because of the quirks. His comforting presence was fantastic, as was his friendly, enthusiastic demeanor. It fit well with what Milo was doing here.

"I'm glad you're enjoying it. And no, these elections really aren't the same as the kind you may be more familiar with. Definitely nothing bloody in my work. Just soft and genuine." However, his fiance's campaign was a different case. He was in love with a menace. He scrunched his nose very briefly in quiet exasperation before quickly going back to his relaxed state, brushing it off. This wasn't the time to worry about that, as he had his own goals to further. It was especially important with the other things going on, in fact, and he'd already been passionate about getting president and all the good he could do there.

"Are you starting to understand how things work, do you think? Let me know if you want anything explained, and I'll do my best. Learning through experience helps, at least."

Milo peered at Vin. "I'd really like to learn your language, too, you know. I'm not sure if it'll feel natural or not, don't wanna get my hopes up, but even if it's slow and frustrating, it doesn't matter, I want to. Will you help?" He hummed at the rather affectionate words, letting them warm him just as much as the sun and animals did, a tinier but more meaningful smile on his face. He rubbed Vin's shoulder reassuringly.

Milo looked to Maddie on his other side, who was overrun by puppies and even a few foxes, snickering. He almost felt like a kid with this lighthearted scene going on, but he was of course, a college student, and he was running this event. It all felt great. "How about you, Mads, how're you doing? Do you need a rescue? I can barely see you through all the fur, wagging tails, and cute wet noses."
