Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.

It was the perfect kind of day for not knowing where she was. Mokey was perfectly happy, sitting with Gobo cuddled up to her, her arm around him as she nuzzled her snout into his hair. It was just incredibly peaceful, and calming, and something about the fact that she had no idea where they were just added to all of that. Besides, Gobo knew, and that was plenty. Mokey? She liked to go with the flow, and take things as they came.

She sat up a little - she kept adjusting her position just a bit, so her back wouldn't be sore - and brought her hand up, running her fingers through Gobo's hair. "So soft," she observed with a little giggle. It didn't have the lovely length of Red's hair, but it was softer. Red's hair tended to partway break in places, from constantly being tied up in ribbons. Still, Mokey loved Red's hair, too. It was so fun to fashion it in different ways.

"...Oh." That was a good idea, actually. "Gobo, darling?"

"Now when you undo the braids, you'll have pretty waves in your hair!" Mokey giggled, oblivious again as she pressed a kiss to the side of his snout.

[gobetween]

"Oh." He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, coughing a bit. "That'll be neat."

[thewisdomwithin]

"I think so, but..." But he didn't sound like he thought it was very neat. Mokey stretched out on her stomach, lying down with one hand pawing at the little pool of water. She was replaying the past few moments in her mind, trying to see what she could have missed... Ah. "Did I startle you? With the water?"

[gobetween]

"A little, yeah." He swept the braids back, then undid his scarf to squeeze it out over the water. "A bit more warning next time, eh?"

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey nodded, her smile returning. "I can do that..." she assured him. She tapped one finger against the tip of his snout and giggled. "...Eh?"

[gobetween]

His eyes crossed momentarily and he laughed softly as he spoke, wrinkling his nose up some at her tap.

"Wha~at?"

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey giggled. "Well, I'm sure I have no idea," she teased.

[gobetween]

Another laugh. "Aw come off it Mokey, I'm not asking again, just what're you gettin' at?"

[thewisdomwithin]

She shook her head. "You're a very silly Fraggle, Gobo... With a very cute accent." A wink.

[gobetween]

That got a little blush out of him, and he smiled at her. "You think my accent's cute?"

[thewisdomwithin]

"I do. I especially like the way it sounds when you say my name," she added, wrinkling her snout up a bit.

[gobetween]

He chuckled gently, leaning so the ends of their snouts pressed together a bit.

"You do eh, Mokey?"

[thewisdomwithin]

Again, she made a little purring sound. "I do. It makes my heart skip a beat."

[gobetween]

"It's not that special, Mokey," still he made a point of saying her name, "it's just the way I talk."

[thewisdomwithin]

"That makes it special, Gobo," Mokey explained, smiling. It was like when Red scrunched up her face that particular way. Just... Extremely endearing and sweet, in no small part because it was so iconic of someone she loved. She brought her head up a bit and kissed him softly - breaking away after a moment to giggle.

"You kiss with an accent, too. Although I can't help wondering why - you come from the Rock, just like me."

[gobetween]

He glanced up at her with a lightly amused expression.

"I kiss with an accent too?" Then a soft chuckle. "Well, I guess that-..." Then, feeling eyes on the two of them, he paused and looked to one side. Noticing there was someone there, albeit a few yards away, he reflexively put an arm in front of Mokey, watching them somewhat warily, somewhat curiously.

The "who" might've been a "what" to some people. It seemed to be an overly large dog, especially to a couple of Fraggles. He was big and pitch black and all over covered in wavy fur, and he was lying Sphinx-style in the dirt. When Gobo noticed him his mouth split open in a doggy smile, tongue lolling out, and his tail beat a few times. Then, to show he wasn't a threat, he put his head all the way down between his paws and whined softly, then rolled over onto his side, partway to his back. Tail still beating a mile a minute.

[thewisdomwithin]

When Gobo's focused shifted, Mokey followed his gaze - and her eyes went wide at the sight of a hairy monster. She wasn't sure what to make of him - he was certainly interesting, and different than the other hairy monster she knew, which had her curious. However, he was also very, very large. "Goodness..."

[gobetween]

A half glance back to Mokey when she spoke, then he stared at the dog again. There was something... almost familiar about him, mostly around the eyes, but he couldn't place it. Perhaps it was that that fueled him getting to his feet and carefully, cautiously making his way over. He halted when the dog rolled back over, then continued the rest of the way. Stopping a few paces from him, Gobo held out a hand, hesitated- then the dog moved up and pressed his nose into the palm of his hand. He blinked, then laughed softly and smoothed his hand down the snout, walking closer so he could rub between the ears.

"Hey there... How long have you been here, huh?"

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey watched closely as Gobo interacted with the - ah, dog, that was it. He seemed very friendly, and it put her at ease. She got to her feet and approached him, a bit more haltingly than Gobo had, but she made it there in the end.

"Hello, there."

[scattered_rose]

The beast certainly was friendly, nudging up into Gobo's petting. When Mokey came over, he sniffed her experimentally, then looked at her and seemed to smile again, tail wagging excitedly. Even lying down he practically towered over her; this was one big canine.

[thewisdomwithin]

"My name is Mokey," she said softly, reaching up to pat at his nose. "I wonder what your name is. Well, the other hairy monster I'm friends with is called Sprocket. Maybe I should call you that, for now." A giggle. "I suppose the name doesn't matter much, anyway."

[scattered_rose]

That got a whuffle of an exhale that would flutter the loose bits of her hair. Then he bumped the end of his snout up under hers and whined softly; the other Fraggle was petting him, why not her? A pat on the nose isn't going to cut it.

[thewisdomwithin]

It took Mokey a couple of seconds to realize what the dog was trying to convey, but once she did figure it out, she grinned. "Oh, yes, yes, of course!" Giggling some more, she ran her hands over his fur, at which point her laughter was lost in a happy gasp. "You're so soft!"

[scattered_rose]

Ah yes, that's the stuff. He leaned up into her petting, tail thumping against the ground, paws edging him just a bit closer. More please, that's the spot...
