Petal: She blinked a few times. These sounded like nice people, but she was hoping more of them were from Christmas Town...Speaking of which...! If Mint made toys, she might know OTHER toy makers! "Do they make toys?" She tapped a finger on her lips. Actually, it was pretty possible everyone in Christmas Town made toys...With all of the collective knowledge from the carnies, they actually knew the LEAST about Christmas Town. HalloweenTown had lotsa circuses and the like, and they often fantasized about drinking in St. Patrick's town, or cute animals in Easter Village. And they talked of Thanksgiving Town the most, mostly because of the poor quality of the circus food. He furrowed her brow. Wait, her uncle?? That means he WAS from her town, at least! Probably. "Who is 'Cook'?" She could have guessed he was some sort of baker thing, but asking doesn't hurt!!

Mint: "Oh no, day don't.." She rubbed her chin. How else could she explain Cook. "Oh, it is kinda hard to miss him! He always smells like fresh baked cookies, he is..uh.." She raised her arm as high as she could. "Like dis tall! And he..uh..he always is really super happy! And he gots like this fluffy orangy hair dat ya might wanna touch. Oh oh! And whe always wears a Santa hat. Like my hats, but fluffy rim and da point got a flffy pom pom!" She really wasn't sure how else to explain him. Explaining people was hard.

Petal: She cocked her head. That wasn't very helpful towards her cause, sadly! Still, learning about people was pretty fun! She tapped her chin a few times and wrote, "How old are you?" Honestly, Petal didn't have a guess towards her age! Maybe elves aged really differently!

Mint: "Oh! 18 in people years, 12 in elf! It is kinda trickey cause I gots some Kringle blood, and they look really super old when day are young, so I could'a ended up looking like an oooold lady if I got my grandma's pants!" Wait no, pants was not the right word. "Or was it shorts..the word for da thing where ya godda look like your family cause day pass dem down. It sounds like pants or someding." Her dad had said a few times before. Pockets? She wasn't sure. "What about joo..uh..how old are you."

Petal: She blinked a few times. Wow, 18?? She looks so young! Well, Petal did too, so...
She furrowed a brow. Pants?? What did she mean, grandmother pants? Ewww... Oh, wait! "Genes!" She wrote out. She silently laughed, "You're funny!"
Oh! This was always a hard question! As often as she was asked, Petal never knew how to answer. She couldn't write this one out, it would take forever! She sighed and spread her hands out to make a larger illusion, "20 in people years! Made to be 13!" Wow, she guessed they were really similar!! She winked at Mint. They could be cousins!

Mint: "Oh! Yes, doe-s!"She posed heroically after being called funny. She was quite humorous, she had to admit.
She raised an eyebrow. Made? She was made to look 13? Mint gasped. "Waits! You are like a robots?! Oh my gosh. Do you know P.E.R.S.I?! He was mades too! He's my cousin!"

Petal: She grinned as Mint posed! She should work in the circus someday!! She tapped her cheek a few times. Robot uh...she knew the word. That was the machine thing with wires, right? "Not robot! Doll instead!" She hadn't actually SEEN one, but the carnies talked to the metal men before...Wait!? He was MADE? She was so excited she had to write with her hand, "Persi!? By who?? Who made? When made? When??" Sadly, she wrote so fast the words poofed into glitter before they were completely readable. She tried again, slower, "Made? Who? When?" Then the word "Please" appeared afterwords.

Mint: Oooh, so her new friend was a doll! Didn't they have those at school before? She couldn't recall their name..like pin maybe? Zipper? Didn't matter.
Her eyes started spinning when Petal bombarded her with questions. She blinked a few times and read the slower ones.
"Oh gosh, ya don'ts godda say please. He was mades by my aunt Hasel like..16 years ago, maybes? I dunno. She goes by Hasel, anyway. She gots a really long name dat is super hard to remember, so we call her dat instead. Persi is like really awesome for somedin made. Lotsa my family makes stuff dat is super awesome!"

Petal: He face sunk. Her words slowly poofed into glitter, which rained over her. She really thought she was on to something there, but she knew for a fact she was made by a man. She looked down at her shoes and silently sighed. It was stupid to think a robot maker made dolls too, they were just too different.
Her head perked up. Oh!! More family? "Who else?" She shook glitter from her hair and tulle. She hoped the Christmas teacher wouldn't mind all this glitter everywhere...She took a deep breath. What if Mint DID know her papa? It's been so long, what if he didn't remember her...? Her mind filled with doubt but she shook it free. Nevermind, you don't even KNOW for sure, yet! There could be more than one magical doll-maker guy in the whole town, anyway, right?

Mint: "Oh gosh, so many peoples. Like just on my dads side we gots my dad, Cook, Hasel.." She tapped her fingers. "I gots another uncle and another aunts, but I forgets da names..I knows the uncle makes toys, doe. Like dat is kinda whats we do-s.." She looked at her feet. Dangit names were hard. "Den if we go off my mama's family..let's not..so many many many elves. I don't evens knows half of dem.." Mint was suddenly blanking. What was her own name? Chill pepper elf?

Petal: She blinked a few times. She tried really hard to look interested in Mint's story but...she knew she wasn't made by an elf!! Oh well, it was rather foolish thinking anyway, she supposed. The world was pretty big, chances are Mint didn't have anything to do with her papa! Still, she did feel extremely let down. But she wouldn't show Mint that! If anything, the circus did teach her to keep a smile on her face. Even if it was painted on!
"Let's look at the rest of the school!"

Mint: She bounced a little. "Oh! Okay! Where do ya wanna goes first?!" Mint was back to her problem she had before Petal showed up. Where on earth to go in the University.

Petal: She shrugged. She didn't have the slightest idea. "Valentine's dorms?" Mint probably knew the place better than she did, anyway!! Plus, she wouldn't feel so out of place anymore, now that she made a friend!!!

Mint: She pushed her hands together. "Dat is a wonderful idea! I don'ts know anyone from dere, but we can looks dere!" She couldn't think of anyone from Valentine's off the top of her head. What town was Petal from, anyway? She looked like she could be from Christmas, but she also wore a lot of red. People from Saint Patrick's always seemed to wear a lot of red. Clearly Petal was a St Patrick's doll!

Petal: She tilted her head. "Where?" Cupid knows she couldn't find it earlier! It probably wouldn't have been so tough if it wasn't for all of these FEMININE MEN on campus. She bit her lip. SUCH DISTRACTIONS. SO WRONG. BUT... SO, SO GORGEOUS. There weren't even any in the circus because they could all do very well for themselves with the faux-poor shtick. And goodness, she was so bad at socializing with people who were never at the circus. Thankfully Mint reminded her of the kids at come by frequently! It was really refreshing!! As they walked, Petal snapped to get Mint's attention again. You'd be surprised how many people don't see her illusions just because they were looking somewhere else!
"Favorite animal?" She gave her a warm smile. Kids usually liked this one!! Petal had to admit, she really did too!
