I'm Going Egg Hunting!Username: ActualWoodelf
Deer/Companion Sending: Alethia & Dido (#1101 and 449)
GD Easter Prompt Entry!Entry: Alethia had gone her whole life without participating in an easter egg hunt. Somehow she'd always been tied up at just the wrong time and missed out! There were kitchen mishaps, last-minute fawn-sittings, unexpected phonecalls, sprained ankles and so, so many more mishaps. For a long time, Alethia hadn't noticed the pattern, but once she did, each year became a personal challenge to herself to GO EGG HUNTING OR ELSE. And this year she was as determined as ever. She'd double-checked the entire house for problems, turned off her phone and headed straight to the plaza well before egg hunting time--only to be shooed away lest she seem where the eggs were being hidden!
Still, being shooed was better than disqualified, and she quickly scampered away to avoid that fate. Finally, it was time, and she was right next to the plaza, with Dido-- DIDO! Alethia had somehow left her faithful companion home! Just as she's ready to turn and head back, resigned to missing half the event, a yellowish blur of foxy fur zips past her and Alethia stares in astoundment as Dido half-flies, half-runs onto the plaza. Shaking off the surprise, Alethia hurtles after her as the super-sniffer fox reveals egg after egg, her flashing eyes fixed on the prize. Wow. Who knew this little furball was so competitive? Alethia can't help but laugh so much it hurts as she watches the sincere ferocity her companion displays in the face of colorful eggs and cute bunny decorations. Thank goodness they didn't miss it this year!
