Rainy day

[liddiintheshadows]

It was a dreary, gross, boring, nasty, rainy day. So, instead of being out having fun (or profiting from other peoples' inattentiveness), Liddi was cooped up inside. She was sitting and practicing with her lockpicks. Upside-down. On the ceiling.

Chuckling and resisting the urge to muss her hair again, Komaru gingerly removes the lid.

A small pointy nose and pair of beady black eyes appear over the edge of the box, peering curiously at her and twitching its whiskers.

Liddi leans forward and excitedly looks back and forth between Komaru and the animal in the box. "What is it?" She asks with a bit of awe.

"It's called a ferret. I gather they're quite common in other parts of the world, but I don't know. Something about it reminded me of you. Apparently, you can train them to pick pockets..."

She reaches one of her hands out and lets the ferret sniff it before she gently picks it up (16+wis). She holds it up with one hand under its' back legs and another by its' front legs. "He's so cute! I shall call him... HAROLD!"

"Liddi... check under her skirt. It's a girl ferret."

"Then I shall call her... HAROLD!!" She nuzzles Harold's nose with her own and then sets her back down on the table.

"Uh... right. That's much better," he answers, clearing his throat as he watches the furry little lady sniff around. "I even got you a carrier for her."
