Notes & Warnings: Two starters: one closed to Niko and one open to all


For Niko

It was a regular day working at the resort. There were several calls to businesses in town as usual, with an occasional filing job, but not too many people were staying in the lobby, which was his go-to place for interesting conversations during his breaks.

He was arranging several vases of flowers near the windows when he spotted Niko walking towards the resort. Wander gave him a wave and made his way closer to the door to greet him once he entered.

Gardens

There's an orange alien squealing with joy in the gardens, but he's easy to finding considering that he's sitting right by the small fountain. Right next to him is a black and white, four-eyed kitten, meekly pawing at a long piece of grass Wander was dangling in front of it.

Comments

"Oooh!" Words failed him. The kitten was adorable and it was too helpless at the moment to be ignored, and Wander wrapped his arms around it as supportive as he could for a tiny alien.

"Look at you!" He cooed to the baby animal. "You're gonna have the best time of your life here!" Maybe he'll remember Niko advice on not feeding it too much. But for now it's not on his mind.

"Oh, maybe not for now. She's too young to go out explorin' on her own. But she'll be with me when I'm headin' to town!"

"If you ever want it to play with it's parents, I have one and Boone has the other. I am sure they would be happy to have it around. Whenever I leave the village, I usually try to keep mine around to keep the creepers away."

He was pretty sure Boone was more worried about the fate of the kitten than he was letting on, but he was also pretty sure the offer would help. Maybe it could set him more at ease with it. Niko was pretty happy Wander was gung ho about it.

"Aww, but she's so little! I'm not lettin' her fight off creepers right now!" The kitten decided it was bored with being held and tried to climb onto Wander's head. "See? She's already happy like this!"

The weight of the animal caused him to tip over a little, but he was able to catch his balance. "Y'know, you're right. It'd be a great idea for this little one to meet her ma and pa. Ain't that right?" He picked the kitten off of his head and held it in front of him. "And you're gonna need a name!"

He didn't bother trying to clarify that the animals on the planet were both genders- mostly because he and Boone arbitrarily decided one was the mother and one was the father, even if one had it and one weened it and they ended up thoroughly confused by that.

Tough guys generally weren't good with these kinds of things.

"Maybe you'll be lucky and it will be as affectionate as it's mother. Mine is pretty sweet. She just wants attention all the time. And don't worry, creepers don't even like to be near them. Your baby shall be safe."
