(I just realized it and I feel bad ngl. But then again, Grim is supposed to be at least a little annoying, so idk what to do)

(too bad she doesn't find it annoying and just kinda accepts it xd)

(Makes me feel even worse but okay)

(sorry lol)

(You're fine xD)

Isiea just stays silent. She doesn't like being around crowds. Or kids.

A boy of about three saw us and approached, his eyes on Grimalkin. "Kitty, kitty," he crooned, holding out both hands. Grimalkin flattened his ears and hissed, baring his teeth, and the boy recoiled. "Beat it, kid," he spat, and the boy burst into tears, running toward a couple on a bench. They frowned at their sons wailing about a mean kitty, and glanced up at them.

"Right, time to go," Puck said, striding away.

Lise followed after Puck, not looking back at the kid, just incase.

Isiea follows, making sure Ares follows.

He does.

Grimalkin took the lead. They left Storyland, as it was called on a sign by the exit, through a gate guarded by Humpty Dumpty and Little Bo Peep, and walked through a park filled with truly giant oak trees draped in moss and vines. There were faces peering at them from the trunks, women with beady black eyes. Puck blew kisses at a few of them, and Ash bowed his head respectfully as they passed. Even Grimalkin nodded to the faces in the trees.
