Strawberry fields forever...or, for the time being [in person]
A badger can be seen in the strawberry patch by the farm. It looks mostly like an ordinary badger, but maybe half again as big. Those very familiar with the species would quickly see that this specimen looks slightly....off. Limbs shaped slightly differently, head maybe a touch too big, snout not quite the right proportions. Nothing that absolutely screams 'something's wrong', but enough to wonder what the fur's hiding.

The badger seems to be looking for someone, going up on its hind legs briefly and glancing around before dropping back to all fours and galumphing along again.

	Well, that was an easy one. "Dani," she offered, accompanying it with a weird sort of smile that didn't show any teeth. "What about you?" Since she couldn't just go around calling him 'the talking badger', even if it was a pretty apt description of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The badger utters a sort of whining birdcall sounding trill. How does he do that with those fangs? It sounds vaguely like- "Ffffuuuuhzzzeeee." - that. He gives an awkward badger-grin. D'-aaaahnnnneeee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fuzzy. That's a cute name for him. Suited him, too. "Fuzzy," Dani repeated, making sure she'd gotten it right. Even if he was a badger, getting his name wrong would be pretty impolite. "It's very fitting!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Fuzzy ducks his head shyly and begins clawing at the center of the oval he's marked out, curls and chips of stone flying to pile up behind him. This is going to take quite a while, it looks like. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dani's content with waiting. She is going to get up and meander around the farm, though, gathering up some other various fruits and vegetables she doesn't mind eating plain and without bothering to wash. No carrots, but she'll take a few of those tomatoes... the watermelon is too big to be practical, but she'll grab some sugar snap peas and make a basket out of her hoodie and fill it with berries. Do badgers eat fruit and vegetables? Either way, she's got enough to share when she sits back down.

	When she gets back, the marked-out area has been dug down to about half a foot at the edge and almost two in the center. Fuzzy doesn't even notice you, his little badger arms working furiously fast and the tip of his little pink badger tongue sticking out one side of his snout. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man, Dani never thought of badgers as being particularly cute, but this one is definitely winning her over. She'll take a sentient badger over a puppy any day. For now, though, she doesn't mind waiting for Fuzzy to take a break and eat some of the food. It seems she's a bit of a bottomless pit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's going to be there a while - he won't mind if she wanders off for a few hours. He's just going to keep digging unless she gets his attention somehow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eventually, she will wander off, in large part because she needs to find a bathroom-- and doing it near Fuzzy seems extremely impolite. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When she comes back, he's got a good few feet of narrow, slanting tunnel hollowed out. And he seems to be humming contentedly. Still, might want to find another place to sleep for the night unless you find alien humming and scratchscratchscratchscratchscratchscratchscratchscratch soothing. (Reply to this)(Parent)
