I had another idea (Closed)

(Sorry I've been gone, this weekend has been PACKED with studying, volunteering, and scraping for state points at a debate tournament. I really haven't been on enough, and I probably won't be here as often as I'd like until finals are over next week. For that, I apologize.)

The snakes seemed so happy as Elowan approached them. One slithered right up to her as she passed by, prompting her to pet its tiny green head and laugh as it hissed. "Hello, sweetling. How are you today?" The snake opened and closed its mouth and Elowan cooed. "Good? That's great sweety."

(It's fine!")
Erin picked up one of the kittens and it meowed at her. She laughed.

(Thanks for understanding.)

Elowan played with the little green snake for a few more minutes before moving onto the bigger snakes. None of them were as enthusiastic as the first one she played with and eventually, she went back to it. This snake certainly seemed to like her, which was probably a good thing to look for in a pet. It was definitely coming home with her. She called over Erin and showed off the little creature "I'm getting this one."

Erin turned, still holding the kitten. "I don't know much about snakes, but it seems ideal…" She held her kitten up. "But I'm getting this one."

Huh. "I dunno if you can. It's gonna spend an awful lot of time alone." Erin had said she was going to be staying with Elowan all day, and that cat wasn't getting within 50 feet of her house. She still intended to have some of her friends over, despite their hiring of an in-home help, and Sequoia was allergic to cats.

Erin huffed. "You're right… I guess." She hadn't realized what kind of commitment this job would take.

"Maybe you can quit. It would make both of our lives better." Elowan shot her a hard look, absent-mindedly patting her snake on the nose. Pasta was a really cute snake. He'd be a good addition to her life.

"I don't really think that I can back out now…" Erin said, carefully putting the kitten back. "Besides, I'm not sure I want to. You seem like a fun person."

Elowan groaned. Of course Erin wanted to stick around. Nothing in this world could ever be easy. She beckoned over an employee and began to check out. There was a lot of stuff included in the purchase, and she realized this was going to cost at least 500 dollars. Thank god this wasn't a higher quality store.

Once Elowan had finished checking out, Erin asked, "Ready to go?"

Elowan turned and nodded bruskly, snake and it's new home tucked carefully under her arm. She didn't want to accidentally hurt it and make it hate her. "Yup! Let's head out."
