Fall Farewells

The two months of active roo life goes so fast! All my dryads became elderly and I threw a birthday-Halloween-farewell party for them.

I’m still not sure if Pihlaja just hoorayed about the noms in general or if she was objecting about Lemminkäinen trying to grab the noms, but obviously the rascal had to be removed from the center of the table before the feasting could occur. Noms and fun were had. ^_^

Then it was time to take the trip to the Wild Woods. We arrived at night and found the sim having seasonal mood all over!

There were glowing flittery things in the air! We had to stop and stare for a long while just to admire and boggle.

Of course there were the last snuggles to be had, one by one… here’s Lemminkäinen.

And Talvi…

And Pihlaja, my perky-eared pretty. She was the most difficult one to give up.

I think staying up all night watching flittery ghostly things tired them up, so the moment I set them down, they decided it was time for a nap. So I waited for a while, just watching them sleep.

There was plenty to ponder once they woke up. New lands, new roo-scents in the air, lots of tall grass to go play hide-and-seek in…

As the dawn turned into the morning I stopped delaying and one by one let them run free. All but one.

Lumi stayed with me and became a meepet. She’ll become the wise maternal fussing guardian figure for the new roo couple, what with being a dryad messenger (and a honey addict).
