Hiro lead Monica to the petting zoo, a skip in his step. She couldn't help but giggle as he merrily made it way to the entrance. Though Hiro seemed a little off, Monica was having a good time, it seemed that nothing Hiro could do really put her off, he just had a spirit about him that made even the goofiest of moods fun to be around.

As soon as Hiro got a pari of gloves, he turned to Monica to offer her a pair, She smiled and curtsied to him, poorly but the best she could, "Well thank you very much good sir! I was worried my hands might be ruined at this affair, but I am pleased to have such a good friend looking out for me." Monica shrugged to herself, if you can't beat them, might as well join them, so she tried her best to match whatever mood Hiro seemed to be in. He lifted his hand again and tweaked her noise, causing Monica to snort laugh, something she tries hard not to do. Her face burned red, praying that he didn't think it distasteful, "I--" She didn't even know what to say, how embarrassing, snorting like that....and in front of Hiro no less! What was wrong with her?

It seemed Hiro didn't notice much, pointing out all of the animals as they ventured further into the zoo, Monica loved seeing all the tiny creatures, she loved animals, and loved any chance she had to snuggle with them if she could. When Hiro asked if Monica wanted to pet this lobster looking thing, she could only say, "Absolutely!" Just as she reached her hand down to the creature, she looked up and smiled at Hiro. The boy that wanted to spend time with her...Monica Evans. No one else, no other student at this ball, but her.

Monica must have been zoning or something, because a moment later Hiro was holding up his apple, asking if she wanted a bite. It was odd...not that she didn't like sharing food, but an apple seemed like an odd food to share... Monica dwelled on it more, was this his way of asking for a kiss? She shook her head, that couldn't be the case... he's just being sweet, offering what he has... She blinked at him, wondering how long she was dwelling over a simple question, YES or NO.... Why was that so hard for her to say?

"Sure!" She said suddenly, before reaching out to a bite out of the apple while he still held it. It was sweet and very crisp, apples weren't really her favourite fruit, but as far as they go, this was a good one. She grabbed the apple out of Hiro's hands, and took another bite... this was the best apple she had ever eaten! How was that possible? She took a third massive bite, nearly right to the core of the thing. For whatever reason, Monica could not get enough of this apple.

======================== Now if only Hiro hadn't been under the effects of a potion... He would have made a really good impression on Monica's friends. Unfortunately, the potion had been ingested by him and as a result he'd been a little off when it came to focusing his brain. Yes, he'd seen Monica's friends but his mind hadn't really registered it at the time. All he'd been thinking about was HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY MONICA! It was a strange feeling because he felt quite happy for once. Even though Hiro put forth the impression that he was always happy around others, that was actually quite far from the truth deep inside. But with the potion affecting his mental state, Hiro did feel happy which was a foreign feeling. Best enjoy it for as long as possible. The thing was, he seemed to sense Monica wasn't as happy as she could be. Therefore, he did the only thing that he could think of to try and make her feel happier! Offer her some refreshments and food! Those two things always tended to make a person feel better, right? Of course, he didn't really have a goblet of liquid on him but he did have that apple from before! He could have her snack on what remained of the apple and then get her some more really tasty stuff after the zoo. Hiro grinned and laughed a little. "What a cute little laugh! You should do that more often! It makes me smile!" He said. Not a lot of people, especially girls, tended to do snort laughs! Monica was becoming more interesting by the second to him! Hiro started to hum and sing a kpop song, another side effect of the potion, as he started to pet the creatures with his gloves. After he'd offered Monica the apple and she'd taken it and Hiro himself had pet all the cool things at the petting zoo table, he turned to regard her again. A smile came to his lips again. "I take it you were hungry?" He asked her. Monica seemed ravenous as she devoured the pink apple and Hiro couldn't help but think she looked cute eating it. Hm, since Akira had told him he didn't feel too good and wanted to refrain from taking part in any games at the ball, Hiro didn't have anyone to do any activities with later. Perhaps... yeah, why not? "Say, you want to do the Save Your Date with me later?" He asked with a smile. If she accepted, it would be awesome because he really wanted to do the game. But he needed a partner with him. Monica would make a lovely one and he could spend some more happy time with her! Everyone should be happy! Hiro felt the happiness waves roll over him and felt so good right now. This game was going to be a lot of fun, he could already sense this.

The kind of look that would’ve looked simple if not for him being hot as hell. ( Lovely Creature Ability ). It’s a mere long thick jacket in dark red colours, matched with a shirt with a pair of black pants. Nothing else has been made to add to his appearance, except for the gloves that cover his frosty hands. In addition to that, a black scarf is hung on his shoulders and wrapped themselves around his neck. Looks like someone is easily cold.

Oh wow, this pumpkin spice latte taste super good. It did wonders to the cold. Almost as much warmth as when he was still playing with the kneazles. He hasn’t even realised the pumpkin spice latte ran out and in his hands, theres only an empty mug. Ah, such a shame. He proceeded to put back the mug on the side of the table, and tightened the loose scarf on his shoulders. Why not just prepare himself to enjoy the scenery more than he could while he was battling the cold. But while waiting for the carriage, he made the decision to go back to the party. The kneazles were wonderful, and so would the carriage rides. But he was beginning to realise getting cramped in a small space with strangers he barely knew might be too much for the gentle boy to handle. Yes, this was the ball he decided to try solo-ing and quell his shy nature. But he had to give himself a break. He had gone a few moments just fine ( immense help received from the adorable kneazles, of course). Pushing himself too much might just scare him into never doing it again. He wasn’t going to risk such a thing. Not tonight at least when everything have been going along great so far.

With a turn, he walked back to the main party in the courtyard. A faint air of confidence surrounded him as he left the area. Not before giving the kneazles a last goodbye

Even before the animals from the zoo could be seen, they were heard. Jack was honestly curious what kinds of creatures there would be and if there would be any of the magical variety. In a couple of minutes, the enclosures were visible along with many of their occupants. A table at the front had the Care of Magical Creatures Professor standing beside it along with a brunette girl who directed them and others to a bucket of gloves nearby.

It seemed a bit weird to Jack to have a petting zoo when you had to wear gloves to touch the animals, but he took a pair anyway and retrieved a set for Ye-jun as well. Perhaps the novelty of the experience was to be near the creatures rather than physically touching them; he couldn't be sure. Regardless, he knew it was better to be safe than sorry.

"These are for you, hyung," he told his companion when he offered him the gloves. "Do you have a favorite animal? Which do you want to look at first?"

There were so many different kinds of beasts and Jack wondered if Jake had been there or knew about the zoo. It would be a shame if he had missed it just because he disliked going to balls, but he couldn't have blamed the Hufflepuff. Some of the past balls had been downright dangerous. Still, perhaps this petting zoo would have made it worth it to him.

"There's a Hufflepuff I know who really loves animals," the Welsh boy found himself saying as he glanced over at the Jarveys. "He and I got into a bit of a debate once over him treating the animals like people. It's a shame he's probably missing this."

Outfit (I figured out how to do images!!!):

Dora relaxes once she's away from the crowded courtyard. She wasn't sure if anyone saw her, but she hopes not. Big parties have always been a stressful endeavor for her. And she may be wearing a more comfortable dress thanks to Damion, but she still feels strange when there are eyes on her.

The path to the petting zoo is lit with glowing, floating lights, reminiscent of the dancing fairies in the courtyard. When Dora steps onto the lamplit field, she takes in the pens and cages with wide eyes. Fighting her awkward nature, she moves past other students and takes a pair of protective gloves. Then, she enters the first pen.

Kneazles, crups, and jarveys. They're all lovely creatures, the crups being especially energetic. Dora finds herself drawn to a Kneazle named Holliwisen. Her aloofness reminds Dora of Epithet. And like that funny black cat, Holliwisen is more affectionate than she first appears. Dora approaches her slowly, letting the Kneazle sniff her hand. Once she seems used to her, Dora carefully moves her hand to pet her. Holliwisen gets very noisy if she stops petting her where she likes, being the ears, for instance.

Eventually the tortieshell Kneazle walks away, satisfied with the amount of attention and ready to roam about. Dora smiles, even as it makes her miss her cat even more. She stands and dusts off her dress before exiting the pen.

Action: Entering Petting Zoo, Petting Holliwisen

Ye-jun was amazed by the selection as soon as they approached the petting ZOO. His first instinct was to check how all of the creatures fared but they seemed to be well taken care of and there were at least two people to supervise. Good, he nodded to himself. Too focused on the sight before him, he nearly didn’t notice Jack leaving his side. Nearly being the key word here of course. “Thank you,” The Beauxbatons student said with a smile as he took the pair of offered gloves. Safety first. He was attacked by a couple of animals already and didn’t want to repeat that with the magical creatures as well. “Hmm…I’d say I like all of them though some in a different way than others.” It was a bit hard to explain. “To me, some are supposed to be adored and treated with affection, others with respect. It really depends…” His eyes lingered on the Thestral harnessed to the pumpkin carriage. That one definitely fit the latter category. He would not even see it had it not been for that one unfortunate visit of his uncle’s workplace but he was almost glad he did. The creature was haunting yet magnificent.

“Well…I help out at my father’s vet clinic a lot so while I like cats, I don’t have a shortage of them in my life…I’d rather not risk the Nifflers…” Ye-jun looked at his suit decorated with some golden accessories. He wouldn’t mind too much if they got stolen but he wouln’t consider it a nice experience either. “…but I’m rather intrigued by the baby unicorn. Would you be okay with that one?” He asked his date to make sure he was comfortable with said option. He wanted Jack to have fun as well. The later mention of his friend did not escape his attention even as they were choosing what to do first.

“Well, that’s an interesting question. I suppose it depends on what that means. Treating animals exactly like humans doesn’t seem like a good idea. They are different species and therefore in need of a different approach. I do agree however that we shouldn’t place a human life above that of an animal. To me they are equal but I guess that’s not a popular opinion.” He shrugged eventually. “What about you? Any animals or magical creatures you are particularly fond of?”
