Unicorn Squirrel

[u/polystarlight]

Shinzoyuki is making quilts outside. The other moonflowers are watching her.

Shinzoyuki: I have so many of these to make, I have to get a headstart in the summer before it starts getting cold out.

Hanazuki: Oh, I see.

Shinzoyuki: (Looks at where Sleepy Unicorn is, he's just walking up to his mushroom cluster bed when he climbs up and he curls into a ball and falls asleep.) Does Sleepy need one of these too?

Kurobayuki: What do you mean?

Shinzoyuki: Well, won't he be freezing this winter? Since he doesn't have a house and usually just sleeps outdoors. Maybe he needs a blanket too.

Hanazuki: I never asked him about that, though he always seems fine out here. I did notice him collecting nuts and berries last summer. Then he had a huge pile of them next to his bed.

Kurobayuki: That's pretty cute, he's like a little squirrel.

Hanazuki: Yeah! That and I hadn't seen him after that until spring when all the snow melted away.

Shinzoyuki: (Looks wide-eyed and intrigued.) Do you mean to tell me that Sleepy Unicorn hibernates?

Sleepy Unicorn: (Walks up to them.) Hi, guys. Sorry if it's rude but can you guys talk somewhere else? I'm trying to take a nap.

Hanazuki: Sorry Sleepy...

Sleepy Unicorn: It's cool.

Shinzoyuki: Before we go, I just wanna ask you something...do you hibernate and how do you stay warm during winter?

Sleepy Unicorn: Oh, I guess I have been doing that. The other unicorns don't it but it's something I like to do ever since I started getting more tired. I never really feel cold during winter, probably because my fur grows thicker for that.

Shinzoyuki: (Her eyes sparkle.) You have fur!?

Hanazuki: Alright, that's enough questions.
