@WelcomeBarnaby Why, good mornin' to ya Barnaby!

( He's woken up a bit at the sight of his Love-Struck Pup, wagging up a hurricane with that tail of his. )

I had a bit of a rough night ... but I'm feelin' right as rain seein' you.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

Great Grapevines, it has been quite a lovely past few days hasn't it?

( Despite all the wonderful things that's happened, he can't help but wonder why he hadn't slept well. Something to think about later, no doubt. )

I slept a bit badly but nothin' a good cup of joe can fix!

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

Golly, that sounds like you're workin' very hard! Best make sure you rest up when you can, got it?

( From behind the counter, he's placing down a medium sized sack of flour and two cartons of eggs! )

Now, what have ya got to bargain with me?

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

( He waves it off with a hand, giving quite the reassuring smile! Him? Sick? He's never been sick for as long as he can recall! )

I'll make sure I get to bed early today! You shouldn't worry about this particular Pillar but your concern's touched me!

Now, what can I do for ya?

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

That's all here for you at Howdy's Place!

( Feeling revitalised, he's moving with a pep to his step! Red and red and red! Oddly enough, a popular colour for Wally! Why, he can't help but wonder why he likes that colour so much! )

Paints and apples, what a pair!

ㅤ﹙ a little nod, seemingly pleased at the notion that the caterpillar seems to recognise his agenda so easily. ﹚ spot on! i'd like to give 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 a fresh coating of your most vibrant red.

ㅤ﹙ pausing. ﹚ and i wouldn't mind an apple, either. red, of course, too.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

( He gives a wave back from his counter to the florist. Ah, that's where the fruit came from! Golly, he must be tired if he forgot that. )

( Yet he moves towards door and steps outside into the warm sunny air of thr Neighbourhood. )

Morning Neighbour!

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

Why, I do not think so, no sirree! My bed was ever most comfortable ... I suppose it was just a bad night is all!

( He's brushing it off but oh, he remembers the stories they'd read together. )

I'm sure I'll be fit as a fiddle! After all, Howdy's Place needs to be open today!

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

( Thinking about yesterday with Barnaby ... goodness, he's already feeling better! Another sip of coffee and his cup is put away! )

Alright! Today's a new day Howdy! Time to serve up a fresh batch of smiles!

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

Why, good mornin' to ya Dahlia. You look like you ain't slept too good either.

( Cup is held in both hands. He's perking up rather soundly now. Coffee and company just makes him right as rain. )

What can I help ya with?

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

Ahaha, nothin' a lil bit of sunshine and socialising won't be able to fix.

( Wally was always welcome ... though, usually it was just an apple a day and he was on his way! )

Ya here for more paintin' supplies? Your usual apple? What can I help ya with neighbour?

ㅤ﹙ flashing a smile —— it'd be all teeth if he had any. he slips through the doorway, hands folded neatly behind his back. ﹚

ㅤgood morning, neighbor! good murkin' morning. 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢. that's quite a strong cup. tired today, are we?
ㅤ

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

( Oh! Silly him, he must have forgotten to unlock the door! Out from behind counter, he's moving sluggishly over to unlock and open it, flipping sign around. )

Good murky mornin' to you Wally!

ㅤ﹙ tapping quietly at the door, tiny frame hidden from view. is shop open so early? he'd like to pick up some supplies. ﹚

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

... good magical mornin' to you too!

( A soft chuckle, he puts on a smile and rubs at his eyes. He's perking up seeing a friend of his! )

Why, afraid so! I was tossin' and turnin' something fierce and just couldn't seem to close my eyes. It was a real pickle to be in.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

( Someone didn't sleep all that well last night. A sleepy Pillar is sipping on some coffee he made as he stands behind counter. )

Mm, quite the messy morning for this ol' Pillar.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

/ the pillar polycule members have arrived ur honour

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

@WelcomeBarnaby ( Watching him fall backwards honestly ends up with him giggling at how much of a silly sausage this hound was. )

Golly Barnaby, it was only a lil smooch... there, well, I'm hoping there'll be many more to come!

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

@WelcomeBarnaby ( Hearing that he made the other happy, well, don't it just make him the happiest Pillar in the world too? )

Shucks, I'd appreciate takin' it slow! Just ... uh ... oh, c'mere.

( Grabbing Beagle's tie, he's giving him a big ol' smooch on his cheek. )

Got that outta my system.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

@WelcomeBarnaby ... that sounds real romantic Barnaby.

( It's a big step ... little bit at a time but ... it's not like Barnaby is a stranger after all. )

Why, I'd be pleased as puddin' to be your love-bug. Lots of love to share... after all.

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

@WelcomeBarnaby ........

( Oh, goodness. Him and Eddie. There was ... a lot of feelings for a lot of people. A problem for the Pillar. What do you do when you like more than one person as mote than a friend? )

I do like Eddie but I also like you. If you'd like, we can do couple things too??

[𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 & 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨 .ᐟ @APillarsPrice]

@WelcomeBarnaby ... o-oh, Jumping Junipers!

( And there's that big flush upon his face returning as he just holds Barnaby's face. Yet he's smiling! Big and wide! )

... I'd like that but... what about you and Wally? Aren't you two..?
