Friendlier Faces

Today was a perfectly fine day to be spending outside here in Duckburg. Though Gobo was a bit more comfortable up on the surface than his friends, he still decided to keep himself somewhat hidden- he'd found a tree by the sidewalk with a perfect branch some ten, twelve feet off the ground that would let him recline back and see without being seen. From there, he spent time noodling around on his guitar, hidden by the foliage and shadows, watching the Silly Creatures pass by on the sidewalk below.

He went through different songs and general music, and though the occasional person paused to look around, they never quite found him. That amused him more than most, and he chuckled a little to himself as he sang.

Oh, okay, he was holding the Fraggle now. That would be fine, he could handle not dropping a Fraggle for the short walk over to the car.

Thank goodness he was right about that. Once everyone was in the car, and they were off, one first observation finally got out. "I didn't know you knew about Fraggles."

"I didn't know you knew about Fraggles, though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised." Though Fethry was in charge of carrying Gobo, once they'd gotten to the car he'd been laid on one of the seats, where he watched them intently the whole way back.

"Louie the younger was told about them from Louie the elder, and one day he managed to catch Gobo here. From then on, he and a few other Fraggles have been pretty constant features in our lives."

Fethry smiled weakly. "And I probably shouldn't be surprised that you know about them. You and Donald have seen all kinds of great things."

His attention quickly shifted back to the Fraggle, though. "Gobo is his name?"

[moneymatters]

He eyed Gobo a moment to see if he felt like talking, but the little Fraggle was curled up in the seat bottom, chin resting on his arms. His eyes flicked toward Scrooge, and after a moment Scrooge glanced back at Fethry.

"Aye, Gobo. He's an explorer, from a central society o' them called Fraggle Rock."

"Sounds like an amazing place. I didn't know Fraggles were ever explorers, though," Fethry noted, glancing out the window as he tried to organize his other thoughts and questions - but something else is making it hard to focus. Er, harder than usual. "I really didn't mean to scare him."
