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?"

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."

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...

[thewisdomwithin]

"What a good dog you are!" Mokey exclaimed, enjoying the way his fluffy fur gave way in a poofing sort of way beneath her hands.

[gobetween]

The whole time the two of them had been interacting, he'd continued petting the dog, though he studied his face at the same time. There was something he couldn't put his finger on! A familiarity about those eyes- and he was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to forget red eyes -and the way the fur was scruffed around the face in particular, and that smile, toothy though it was. People in this world had transformations, this he knew from Bridge, so it could be anyone. Though Bridge pinged something else...

Then he sucked in a breath and, rather abruptly, exclaimed, "It's Daniel!!" When they both JUMPED, he flashed a sheepish smile. "...Sorry." Then a throat clear, and he scruffled the space between the dog's ears.

"This is Daniel. He's Bridge and Rapunzel's boyfriend, though I didn't know he could do this too." Looking at the hairy monster, he smiled. "Am I right?"

[scattered_rose]

At the question, the beast leaned his head back and seemed to laugh, a hearty, growly sort of sound. Then he nodded quite clearly and leaned forward, licking Gobo's face all over until the Fraggle was laughing too, trying to push him away without any luck whatsoever.

[thewisdomwithin]

"That's amazing!" Mokey gasped - once she'd recovered from that scare. (Her belouvious was definitely frizzed out.) "What wonderful magic! And, oh!" A second gasp as the realization clicked. "Daniel, yes, you told me about- I've heard of you, Daniel!" Mokey exclaimed. Any hesitation that had lingered before was gone, then, as she threw her arms around his neck as best she could manage. "You're a hero!"

[scattered_rose]

Mokey is going to get an interesting sensation in her grip, when a glow passes over Daniel. The whorls of magic swirl around the three of them as he shifts, and even mid-transformation arms circle her and hug her to him, keeping her from falling when he goes from wolf to person now sitting in place. Laughing again, he placed a hand on top of her head, smiling. "I do what needs to be done." A chuckle in his throat, "Hi Mokey. Nice to finally meet you."

[thewisdomwithin]

The magic was absolutely astounding, leaving Mokey momentarily dumbstruck. In lieu of words to express her gratitude, she snuggled into those arms, feeling very safe.

And then something hit her, and she found her voice again to ask, "You know who I am?"

[scattered_rose]

"Sure. We hear a lot about you from Gobo, for one." Shifting Mokey to one arm, he scooped up the other Fraggle with the other by looping it around his waist and pulling him in. "For another, I heard him say your name like, half a dozen times. 'Mow-kee.' She's right. It's cute." The playful, teasing grin only widened when he focused his full attention on Gobo. "By the way, that's a good look for you."

[gobetween]

Gobo glanced up at one of the braids, still a bit damp, and snorted softly, giving Daniel a push to the face that made him laugh.

"I guess that answers my question of how long you've been there. What I wanna know now is, since when could you do that- dog thing?"

[thewisdomwithin]

"It's so amazing!" Mokey enthused, nodding when Gobo asked his question. She was still blushing a bit at that point - Did Gobo really talk about her so much? It was a very sweet thing to think about. "Gobo's mentioned the magic here, but I've never seen it in action quite like that!"
