Log;

He hadn't meant to actually bother the penguins - he'd learned at a young age, like anyone else, that you didn't mess with wild animals, even if they were docile ones. You left them alone and sometimes got to watch from afar. But they were just so ... cute. He winced internally every time he reacted that way to small animals, but he just liked them. Penguins and other exotic creatures that they didn't have at the zoo had always fascinated him, even if only in passing. And he missed his dog. And they seemed very friendly.

And one followed him for half a block.

So it was entirely by accident, really, that when he knocked on Faye's door, he was carrying a small penguin with him.

He rolled his eyes but didn't say anything as she slipped the bomber on over her shoulders, zipping it dutifully up and following him down the stairs and to the lobby. The penguins outside were sliding around and Peter trotted off to meet them like a child on a playground. "This feels like the first day of school," she said, as if she remembered it.

Faye started laughing. Hard. She had to clutch her stomach when Peter glanced back and noticed Frederick turning to come back inside. "I think he misses you," said Faye sardonically. "He misses his mother. You're just going to have to give him a kiss and send him off. It's hard, Frederick, I know, but you just have to let the grow up." Faye laughed again.
