Miao!

Summer 8, Mon (Mar 26)

Chiyo: No offense, Tae, but I’d rather learn to paint than fold origami.

Tae: Really? Okay, I just thought you might want to learn to prepare for Gibbi Point.

Chiyo: Nope. You’re the one who needs to do particular aspiration, not me!

Jun: Good morning, sweetheart. Your mother’s seeing me off at the airport later this morning, so we thought we’d drop off your things on the way.
Brytani: We also brought your precious Mia and all her stuff.
Sasuke: Mia? Who’s Mia?
MIa (standing near Brytani): Miao!
Chiyo: Bon voyage, Papa! Enjoy your stay in Verdemar! (So, I can visit Papa there, but Tae can’t?)

Tae: Your cat’s name is Mia? Does that mean she’s a female?
Chiyo: Yes, she’s a friendly, clever, affectionate Bengal and her name means “Mine” in Italian.

Mia was packed to leave with Papa, but she has a bit of a racoon-kink. After hearing about a dashing raccoon living in Nordhaven, she's insisted on living with me.
Tae: You offered to take over all pet care, so Mia joining us is perfectly fine with me. Plus, she’s really beautiful.

Chiyo: At the Flea Market, Tae hands Juwon and I two different types of collectibles to use for trading, but nobody would trade with me. Because my Charisma’s too low? Instead, I spend the time introducing myself to sims there and earn my Sociability badge.

Tae: I manage to trade an extra TOBOR for a new-to-me Zombie Carl. The trading is a bust but I did find two new City Posters. Let’s go, folks.
Chiyo: Where next?
Tae: Ready to be mentored in Painting?

Chiyo: Why can’t we fish together, Tae?

Tae: Because you’re fishing but I’m cleaning the canal for bike parts.  Oh, I caught a new one!
Chiyo: And I caught my fifth fish.  Looks like we’re done here!

Juwon: Tomorrow’s my birthday, Sasuke, then I leave for military camp the next day. 
Sasuke: Woof!
Juwon: I don’t know when or if I’ll ever see Tae and you again. I’m gonna miss you both so much. Sasuke: *whimpers

Mia: What’s with everyone going off and leaving me here alone? I only arrived here this morning!

Chiyo: I’m so sorry, Mia. Just imagine, I’ll be done with school in several more days then we can more time together!
Mia: That’s nice and all, but when am I meeting the raccoon?

Tae: Great badge progress, Chiyo!
Chiyo: The moodlet potions you bought me really helped. And I appreciate Juwon taking over your chores so you could help me with scouting.
Tae: You only need another day to earn all your badges. But I’m hosting a birthday party for Juwon tomorrow. Hey, you should co-host with me to gain Charisma.
Chiyo: Sounds great! I’m really excited to your friends, Tae! I hope they like me. (I hear most of them love pets. Maybe they’ll fall in love with Mia then like me by association.)

Tae: After Chiyo goes to bed, I sell Heart & Soul and tear down its building, so Sasuke’s obstacle course no longer curves around the house.

Tae: C’mere, Juwon. Let me cuddle you to sleep one last time before your birthday tomorrow evening.
Juwon (to himself): I’m not gonna cry. I’m not!
Watcher (to myself): Why is my throat aching for them?
