"One step, two step, three step, four! I wonder how many more!" The soft sound of snow crunching beneath his paws brought the tiny feline more pleasure than it should have. "I sure do hope I find food soon, cos' otherwise I'll... eat my paw!" A long string of giggled bubbled from his throat, broken every now and then by joyous hiccups. His legs were numb and cold, and his stomach tightened with the familiar void of hunger, but still Milu's toothy smile refused to fade. He pounced from place to place, searching in the snow for the heartbeat of a hiding rodent. He hadn't found anything yet, unfortunately, but Milu knew that it was only a matter of time before he got to munch on something other than snow. Even now water dripped from his jaws, tricking down to soak into the ribbon tied tightly around his neck. The bell attached to the soggy red fabric jingled with the slightest movement, so it wasn't with the upmost subtlety that he approached the village in the distance. But of course, even without his bell, it would be hard to miss the child's cheery voice.

"Hello! Hello?" He called, wandering straight over the border. "I'm hungry, someone feed me, please!" He was beginning to wonder where everyone was. Perhaps he had stumbled across some sort of ghost town? That would be fun, but Miluina doubted that he'd find any good food in a ghost town. He swayed to a stop to sniff the air, turning in small, energetic circles.

What an odd creature, the canine thought as he studied Miluina’s features. He appeared to be some sort of odd creature built in a lab. It is not the odd voice that draws Tadashi in, but the features. He appeared to have multiple sets of teeth. Odd in itself. And that tail... what kind of genetic engineering would have happened to make such a monstrous being? Who would have wanted to make such a monstrous creature? Was it to satisfy their own, sick desires? Was it to simply see how such a creature turned out? Though he was an inventor in his own right, the “kind” scientist couldn’t think of a reason why.

Well, he supposed that his own awful ideas could be satisfied later, he could ask this beast later. And if not... well, Tadashi knew how to get someone to talk. Perhaps that way could allow him to see how this... rather bubbly thing operates anyways.

Tadashi steps near Nui, though it appears that he does not offer the same sympathy. But he is forced to, trying his best to smile as his scarlet eyes take in the odd creature. "Yes... it is not good that he is starving. However, if we were to get..." Tadashi quickly bites his tongue, reminding himself to be civilized. "This young child food, it should be of something he likes. So, what do you eat? What’s your favorite thing to eat?" There we go, Tadashi. Learn about this oddity one step at a time.

Myah approached, the snow brushing her dark brown underbelly. She tilted her head to the side as she examined the feline - he did seem to have an awful lot of teeth. That was odd. Myah tried no to think too much about it though, and nodded to him. She was a bit timid of him, so she stayed back for the time being.

As if sensing the interest of the three that approached him, Miluina's tail coiled atop his back, fixing its gaze on the trio of Snowbounders as they drew near. Milu's smile only seemed to grow as the distance between them closed, and he wriggled excitedly. Other people, finally! They carried with them so many possibilities; friendship, shelter, a meal! He fell silent as Nui began to speak, his tail narrowing its eyes as its gaze met hers. It certainly seemed like she was taking pity on him, which was great news for the baby-faced demon. Her parasol was funny, he'd never seen anything quite like it before, but her attitude was sweet as can be. Milu ran his orange tongue over his lips, and found himself wondering if her blood was just as sugary. At least she came with an offer, one that stopped him from trying to take a bite out of her then and there. "Ooh, thank you miss!" He chirped, his words coming out with a slight lisp thanks to his multiple sets of sharp teeth.

And then there were the second and third creatures. Tadashi was half right- Milu was created as part of a twisted experiment, but the one that created him was no scientist in a lab. She was something much more elusive, darker, writhing. Milu tilted his head to the right as the question was asked. What was his favourite thing to eat? Now that was a hard question, because Miluina liked all things equally, but after a minute of pondering he managed to figure out what he was craving at this particular moment. "Meat!" He bounced with excitement, jumping up and down on the tips of his toes. "Red, juicy, drippy meat!" His tail rumbled something in agreement, the deep noise juxtaposing the cheery quality of the young feline's voice. He didn't pay much attention to the feline that hung back, although he did turn his unblinking eyes to her, staring for a beat before looking back at Nui. If she wasn't here to help him, he had no need for her at the moment.
