[Unlock]: My 1st Imp!

Imps were wonderful, silly little creatures. With their snell, Monsieur Morne, in their hands, the Gluttony bun smiled ever so dreamily. "Would you like to hear how I ended up with you all, Monsieur? Why, it's but a lovely tale really... and you have Coronis to thank for it too, you know." They recall with their dreamy lilt, their thoughts drifting back to their past.

Some while ago, Marmalade dragged Coronis along to visit the Imporium. The Greed bun tried digging his hooves into the ground to stop his littermate to no avail. They stood outside while some buns entered in and some exiting with new companions in hand. While it was Marmalade's idea to go, they froze now uncertain of their next move. The monochrome bun rolled his eyes and gently nudged his littermate through the door, knowing they'd both be outside forever if it was up to them. Once inside, Marmalade's eyes lit up before they greeted Hutch, explaining the reason they were there. With a hurried yet gentle understanding, the owner led the pair to the side where an itty-bitty phloof greeted them. Hutch explained the bare basics before handing the other a simple pamphlet. He left back to the counter to tend to other customers and imps that needed tending to.

"Okay... this shouldn't be too hard..." Marmar mumbled, flipping through the care guide and the imp in their lap. For the most part, the phloof seemed rather patient with the Gluttony bun, if not curious about the paper they were holding. They gave a little yip,  attempting to climb onto the bun's head. Coronis cracked a rare, tiny smile before helping the creature onto their littermate's head. 

"I think they like you." The Gluttony bun pointed out idly, peering over to glimpse the guide too. 

"Oh? ...oh!" They only realized now that the phloof was on their head, comfy at this vantage point. Marmalade giggled at the silliness of it all, putting the pamphlet down to hold the creature between their hands. "You think so...? I like this little one too but maybe I should wait it out...impulse isn't really my strong suit." The milky bun admitted sheepishly, stroking the soft creature before it. "Try as I might...but it doesn't hurt being prepared!" 

Coronis nodded and carefully reached out to pet the phloof too. "Doesn't suit either of us, I guess, but thankfully this lil guy was gentle enough to deal with us. Who knows Marmar, maybe you'll be so good at this imp thing that you'll get more than one." He reached for the pamphlet and refolded it for his littermate. He glanced back to Hutch then to Marmalade, nodding. "I'll go drop this off. Make sure to give the imp a treat before we head out, okay?" And without another word, he heads towards the counter to the imp expert.

With the tale recounted, Marmalade giggled once more before petting their sullen snell. "And how right he was...! Now I have you, Pib, and Galleon...and I wouldn't have it any other way!" They exclaimed, hugging their imp tighter. The snell seemed grateful despite its gloomy appearance, nuzzling back into their bun owner in response. 

"Now then, let's go stop by Coronis' place and see if he's finally gotten an imp of his own!" And with that, they set off to pester their littlemate once more.
