He just stayed on my mind all those months, I guess. Anyway, he was my Christmas present to myself.” Neither of them had looked back since! “I’m the lucky one to have him. Can’t tell you the number of times he has kept me company through my late night studies or when I was feeling down.” Ned was his little guardian angel! <3 “Definitely! Ned being out and about gives me a break from his sass.” Jude was laughing now at his own comment because truly, he was only joking.

“Okay, fair point! Where is your animal companion though? I’d offer you Ned but he’s busy with his beauty nap.” Cue more laughter from him. “Is that so? Would you care to be my occasional partner this year then? Rea used to be mine before she graduated since she’s the only one I fully trust to be able to keep up with me.” Not to mention, his sister knew all of the cues, lifts and so forth to help him with ballroom dancing. “Yeah, I don’t think I could have ever gone months and months without hearing from him.” Davet made Jude VERY happy. “There’s that… I’ve also been thinking more lately of telling him the truth.” Jude eyed Mouse for her reaction.
Jude and Ned's story and meeting was so cute, Mouse was sure she visibly was soft as she looked at the cat next to his owner. "That's so sweet! I bet the previous owner was really pleased that Ned found someone who already cared for him so much." It was nice too she'd been willing to hold the kitty, though he had also said there had been concern no one would have wanted to adopt. She was pretty sure no one had wanted to before hand because it was clear that he and Jude were just meant to be human and familiar. "We always know what to get ourselves for the best present of all." Love from a sweet animal was definitely a good choice. She giggled as well at his comment, giving the smallest teasing eyeroll. "I wonder where he got it from?" She joked in response.

Another giggle, and she tucked her hair back behind her ear as she nodded up towards the castle. "Believe it or not, I did bring someone. Though I don't usually tote him around with me. I have a bullfrog, Naveen, up in my dorm." Yes, she had entirely named her frog after the Prince in Princess and the Frog. It seemed fitting, given she was who she was. Though he certainly did not get kisses, he did get pets and to lounge on his own separate little pillow on her bed when he wanted company. "I'm not sure I could hold even a candle to your sister, but I'd love to try dancing with you!" She was very, very much a newbie. At Jude's confession of thinking of telling Davet more, she raised an eyebrow slightly - just surprised by the news but not at all dismissive of it. "I mean... I don't know what the parameters of the statute of secrecy are but... given he has magical family, it couldn't be THAT bad to tell him could it?"
