Even a bird would want a taste of dirt from abyssal dark Who: Alexander and Lumi Where: Animal shelter When: Afternoon
Just because it was his birthday didn't mean Alex had the day off from working. Not to mention he still enjoyed helping out with the animals. All the Mingans were obligated to give a hand at the shelter at one point or another. It just happened to be Alex's birthday, as well. It was odd being 23. He felt as if he should have been wiser or stronger or something, but felt none of that. If anything, he just woke up with a craving for Lucky Charms.
The highlight of his day thus far was the text message from Bella. The redheaded earth elemental always knew how to put a smile on his face and he hoped to be seeing her later on in the evening. He already he his massive party grouped in with Harley's, which was also grouped in with Kai's. Alex never felt the need to steal the spotlight, unlike his riflebird friend. It belonged to him. Even as the alpha, he wasn't entirely feeling the whole leadership thing that day. Actually, he was out of it in general. Maybe it was the rain.
One thing was for sure was that all the animals were out of it. Any weather change and they went nuts. Even with his fae gift with handling animals, it wasn't enough to calm all of them at once. Right then, he was busy sitting in a playpen with five kittens, letting them play with the ties on his sweatshirt. Cats were awesome like that.
