A black-and-yellow kiokote steps up to you with evident relief.

"Hey, what a winter, yeah? Grassrustle and Celery asked me to represent The Very Best this year, and..." They look over their shoulder at the menagerie of beasts and familiars, bright-eyed and restless, waiting in boxes and perches or nibbling on berries. "Some of us were more ready to travel away from The Fairy Zone than others, you know?"

"So tell me about what friendship means to you...and we'll see if there's someone here who'd like to meet you!" Their mood has cheered as they nudge you toward the familiars, chattering away.

✤ Name something kind a friend did for you this year: A friend of mine from highschool has been one of the few that have still stuck around after highschool. And while me and him don't talk all too often, we'll send each other memes from time to time and will end up talking about them or other small things when we do. It isn't much, but still having one of my older friends to talk to every once and a while is nice.
