Just as Muin is about to give up and tell Nin that they should just go somewhere else, the Rowlet pauses and hops towards a nearby pile of leaves. He's confused at first, but then he understands why: the leaves shake and rustle as if something where hiding in the middle of the pile.

Something alive.

"Uhm... You might wanna be careful with that?"

Should she? Probably, right? Who knows what the hell might be down there...

Pace did very much want to catch a Vulpix, but that wasn't really the reason he had dropped absolutely everything to go and meet Muin and the spare fox that he was giving up to him. The handsome young man who had helped handle his package (har har) in a tutorial quest not so long ago, was one of Pace's favourite kinds of people: grumpy, quiet, kind of sassy. Suffice to say, his type. Sure, maybe he was some fifty year old dude or thirteen year old girl pretending to be a handsome twenty-something, but he seemed nice enough! Kind of.

He arrives on the scene dressed casually as per usual, and smiling widely, and with Kharuf at his side all adorable and sheep-y.

"Hey! Thanks for the ding" He beams in the white-haired avatar's direction, then points over at one of the two Vulpixes. "Go take care of it, Ruf. So, uh... Muin. Been up to much?" Their meeting is gonna be brief, after all - might as well try and chat in the meantime.

"You're welcome." is the immediate response he gives ibis, never being one to bother with fake courtesies like saying 'No problem!' After all, it is a problem. He had gone out of his way to contact the annoying Kindler, he had done Ibis a favour, and as result, what does Muin get out of it? A few minutes of not enjoying his game, that's what.

At least the Vulpix won't be left on its own....

"Nin, can you deal with the other one?"

<'Not a problem!'>

Nin is much nicer than what Muin will ever be, but fittingly, the same can be said about the Nin this Rowlet had been named after... most of the time, at least. His cousin sure has a devilish temper and is far from kind when something upsets her.

Distracted by these thoughts, Muin barely pays attention to his companion, simply giving Ibis a "Hm?"

Lilac eyes meet golden ones, and it's then that he notices Ibis is actually slightly shorter than him. No surprise there: standing at 193cm, Percy tends to be taller than most people he meets, and aside from an extreme change in hairstyle and eye colour, Muin looks just like him. But, back to Ibis... What's up with people making their avatars so unrealistically good looking?! Ugh.

"Same as usual. I'll see you around, I guess. Enjoy your Vulpix."

Ibis had been right: their meeting is a brief one, since Muin is quick to turn away and take his leave, his Rowlet taking flight to follow him.
