☝️ – Tap my muse on the shoulder
Newt had been walking down the street, case in hand when he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. He paused, not sure who was there, but he turned to see–
“Carlos?” He asked in disbelief. It had been ages since he’d last seen the man. What were the chances of seeing him again?
“It
is.” Newt nodded, and looked over as they were approached for their
order. He ordered for the both of them, but let Carlos pick his drink
while he ordered himself a tea. He settled against the chair as they
waited, looking down at his case and smiling softly as it rattled.Carlos got some pumpkin juice to go with his meal and let the menu in his hands fly away back to where it was needed.
He heard the rattling, but initially Carlos didn’t understand where it was coming from. He looked down to see if Newt was tapping his foot when he noticed the case.
“Oh! Is everything okay in there?”
Newt looked up at the question, and smiled. “Yes, they’re just a little restless. I think that was Mary, actually.” He said. “One of the Erumpent babies.” He clarified.
“Oh!” Carlos exclaimed in an excited tone. “A baby? That’s so nice – is she new? How old is she?”
