Post Type: Animal Shorts
Monkey gets older and gets lonelier, and loneliness sucks, so Monkey gets Quail to hang around for banana planting.
After banana planting demonstration Quail and Monkey starts fandoming the banana garden animals.
Monkey being monkey, talks about its fascination with the Snow Leopard again when the conversations drifts to about how Donkey is a pretty good handy animal. Also to note is Monkey have hinted at many times of its ongoing fondness for the Snow Leopard.
"Why don't you just sit by the grass pretend like you are walking by to see it?" Quail suggests.
"Um... cuz it hangs around the higher lands and there's no banana trees? So I can't just 'walk' by it?" Monkey laments.
"Oh, yo you should do the just camp out on the ground there, bring a tent and be like 'troll'."
"Oh shut up."
"K, I wanna see this Snow Leopard now, come on, come on," Quail abuses the fact that it stayed with Monkey for the session, "I went to banana planting with you already, come on, show me."
"No."
You know, if it's any other animal, Monkey would happily go picking banana while hang around their territory. Just not when it's Snow Leopard.
"Oh my dragon. No! ok?"
"Come on, I just wanna see it!"
Monkey, a softie in the end goes along the stupid Quail and they go to the isolate higher lands.
"Oh, by the way, Donkey also monitors the dirt nutrition level here. So I come here sometimes."
"Oh ho ho ho," Quail-no-good snickers.
"Shut up ...... that's also one of the reasons I work for Donkey."
"Ooooooo," Quail is very annoying. Monkey is feeling the irritation already, but not really at Quail, but rather, its own inner little secret and the fear of actually running into the Snow Leopard and of course, Quail outright making fun of its inner little secret.
"And, here it is, nothing here, let's go," Monkey quickly zips out as soon as they see the higher lands.
"No, come on, go closer, where it is?"
"What? I don't know where it is! It could be out hunting any time!"
Monkey peaks over at the rocks at the higher lands for a brief moment more.
"K, it just usually hangs out at that cave there, ok? I'm out!"
Monkey grabs by the tree branch and swings up the tree and runs out.
Quail flaps along.
"YO! You were actually nervous?! I've never seen you like that before."
"Yes, yes, of course I am..." Monkey flustered, irritatingly dismisses Quail, "What if it finds out and eats me for dinner one day!"
"LOL Oh my dragon, your face is as red as your ass!"
Monkey just wants Quail to shut up. But its own brain is too much of a mush right now to come up with an authoritative reply. Quail keeps rubbing it in. It enjoys dumping salt on Monkey.
"Ugh, banana peels! Plantation ends. Gotta go the other way," Monkey pretentiously complains about the lack of tree to swing on.
"But oooooo, serious, animal. That was soooo..."
"K, this is Mountain Goat's area, it's pretty cool, check it out," Monkey leads Quail to another area on slightly lower grounds.
"Let's see?..."
"Whoop, mountain goat also nowhere to be found."
"Oh well..."
Of course oh well, diverted the topic.
"You know when I told you I have an obsession with the cat family?"
"Yo, that's peeled up. Doesn't make sense."
"K, so it's been like that for a while. Each lasts about 2 seasons or a little less, from the Flower Lynx to start..."Monkey, still disoriented from that stalking attempt, rambles on mindlessly without paying attention to Quail, "I just have this weird thing for furred, beautiful animals, ok?"
Stupid Quail, has to make a big fuss of its inner little secret. Monkey feels very mixed. Happy that they were sufficiently close to the Snow Leopard's hideout to give room for imagination, still scared that if they did run into Snow Leopard, what should it do, angry at Quail's outright fun making and rubbing salt at its burns from shame, and a little disappointed, at itself, that it'll never work up the guts to visit the Snow Leopard.
If it was any other animal, it'd be no problem at all.
"Hey, I think I'm gonna get Caribou to put some decors on my harvesting sickle," Monkey, still mindlessly rambling, casually tells Quail.
"Oh, why?"
"Cuz Caribou is cool."
Sigh, Monkey is leaving for the harvesting division soon, if it doesn't
ever see the magnificent Snow Leopard again, maybe it'll forget about it shortly after it leaves.
It's been 1 season, it'll probably last no more than another season. Monkey sure hopes so.
