Who: WangJi and You! ... with closed action to WuXian
Where: Greenhouse Car, Dining Car, randomly around the train
When: Horseshoe Day 1
What: WangJi has retrieved his new rabbit from the luggage car and wants to introduce it to the train... and find his husband
Warnings: Fluff? Is fluff a warning?

WangJi had finally picked up his request from the luggage car, a small black rabbit that was both a friend for Little Rabbit and a surprise for his husband... since he wanted him to name it since he had gotten to name the last one.

So he was wandering the train with the black rabbit in his arms, standing out brilliantly against his white sleeves. He wanted the rabbit to get used to the sights and sounds of the train, the same way that Little Rabbit was used to them as well.

In the course of his exploration with the rabbit, he made it to the dining car to see what herbs and vegetables were available for a snack and through the library. He avoided the music car because he didn't want to upset the small rabbit with too much noise.

Greenhouse Car
Finally, he decided to take the new rabbit to meet his companion, Little Rabbit. For the moment, he was going to let them get used to each other through the fence of what would be their shared hutch, letting them not see the other rabbit as a threat.

But the black rabbit, of course, wanted to explore the garden car, hopping around and sniffing the plants.

"Careful, little one," WangJi said to the rabbit, kneeling in between where the rabbit was exploring the hutch where Little Rabbit was sitting, watching the new arrival.

Closed to WuXian
Finally, he found his husband. Somehow in a living arrangement that was basically a straight line, it was still hard to find people.

"Wei Ying."

He approached, holding the black rabbit in his arms.

Nerdanel brightens when he does.

"Ah! That is a very good sign indeed." She agrees. "I think they will be very good friends, if they can already share food."

"Yes, I think they will be good friends."

He watched as they ate food only a few inches from each other without complaint.

"I will still keep them separated long term until I can be sure fighting is unlikely when unsupervised."

This was only a few hours after picking up the black rabbit and he was pleased it was going this well, but he didn't want to overwhelm Little Rabbit since the hutch was HIS home as far as he was concerned.

"Will you need a new hutch?" She wonders. "Or will you keep one with you?"

"I plan to keep this one so they can be together when we are not there."

Rabbits were social so once they were comfortable with each other, being separated would be stressful.

"That is a good thought." She smiles. "Perhaps we should expand it a little, what do you think?"

He nodded his head once. "I think that would be a good idea. It was plenty big enough for Little Rabbit, but if they are both using it, they will need more space."

"True." She smiles at the thought.

"Will you need help in doing so?" She asks hopefully. "I would not mind being of assistance."

"I would appreciate some help, thank you. And I know they will too."

He was not one to turn down an offer of assistance in caring for his rabbits. Others here were as much family to the rabbits as they were.

She smiles at him.

"I will be honored to help them make a comfortable home."

SO MANY IDEAS. Maybe stop her before she builds them a palace.

"Thank you. Perhaps after the next mission, we can begin to work on that. We don't want to start it and get disrupted."

He wouldn't stop that. His rabbits are precious to him so a palace would be fitting. He might say though that they didn't really NEED a palace.

"I think that would be a good idea." She smiles and nods.

"I will draw up some plans, while until then, so that we have a place to start."

WangJi smiled faintly. "I would like to see the ideas that you have for their hutch."

Little Rabbit, done with his snack, sat up on his hind feet for a moment until the black rabbit looked at him. At that point, Little Rabbit bounced in the air and took off running, the black rabbit quickly giving chance.

"It seems they are playing."

She beams back.

"What sort of designs would you like to incorporate? After all, they are your rabbits."

She clasps her hands together and does not squeal because ladies of the Noldor who are technically ex-queens do not squeal, but her eyes go very soft.

"Oh, oh, they are, how sweet!"

Good. Playing was good. Meant they were relaxed around each other. Stressed rabbits wouldn't want to play since it could leave them in a vulnerable situation.

"Perhaps we could put my home's symbol on it. Gusu Lan's symbol is a blue cloud." It might not mean much to others here, but it was as good as putting your name on something back home, having your clan's symbol.

The same symbol that's visible on the shoulders of his robes.

"Like on your robes?" She nods. "Oh, that would be an excellent idea. We can incorporate it into the roof of the hutch, I think!"

He nodded his head once. "Yes. This is the symbol for the Gusu Lan."

He smiled. "I think that would be good. They will be very spoiled I think."

"Like the lotus are for your Wei Wuxian?" She smiles, remembering all the way back to the beginning.

"Should I put those on it as well?"

WangJi nodded again. "Yes, I think that would be nice. WuXian would like that."

She smiles at him fondly.

"Then I will do that. Something for the two of you to share."

"Thank you. If you want the picture of the lotus from his sect, he'd be able to draw it for you. He is very good at drawing."

"I will have to ask him." She smiles. "He would know them best, after all. And will you show me some designs if you have any thoughts as well?"

"Of course. I will think on it and see what ideas come to mind."

He smiled as Little Rabbit and the black rabbit came bounding through in their game.

"It is good to see them getting along."

"It is." Nerdanel watches them both fondly.

"I am glad. They will be able to look after each other while we are busy ourselves."

"Yes. That is partially what I was hoping for."

Rabbits were social creatures. Having his owners away days at a time for missions was not good for Little Rabbit. At least with another rabbit, they could play or snuggle up together when there was no one to pay attention to them.

"Then I will get started on building designs post haste, since they seem that they will get along well."
