Chive Strives For Croissants & Tea

Seaweed, the owner of Hollow Grove’s teashop, was sleeping behind the cashier desk.  Perfect!

Chive, a fairy opossum, had been waiting for this moment.  He poked his head out of his crawlspace, then snuck his way across the tea shop floor, trying not to be seen by the few patrons still enjoying their food & drinks.

His goal was to sample the freshly-baked croissants that were right next to Seaweed, along with the cup of earl grey tea they were drinking.  Both of them smelled absolutely heavenly, and the feral fae grinned to himself as he got closer.  Soon, he was at the cashier’s desk.

Chive jumped up onto the nearest ledge—it held a shelf of metal coffee cups for sale—and continued making his way up, one hop at a time.  Soon, he reached the top of the desk, and raced over to the croissants.  A happt squeak of anticipation left his mouth as he got closer—

“HEY!”  Chive jumped at the sound of Seaweed’s voice, and turned to see the dragon was awake!  “Get away from my food, you rat!”

The fairy opossum snatched a croissant and scrambled away, back into the crawlspace.  Sure, he hadn’t gotten the tea—but at least the food was secured!
