Rune didn't answer the old guy's question right away. She just spun on her heels and flopped her wrists that he follow.
"Come on! I'll show yah! It don't take no detective to figure it out."
Her mouth split into a gleeful grin and she darted around the corner.
The wall of GMO HedgeHogs were gloriously colorful! They all had the normal tawny colored, fuzzy bellies; fuzzy like the side of Rune's shaved head, but the spikes! They came in every color imaginable! Hot pink and fuscia colors were on the left, and like the rainbow of Rune's hair, faded to yellow and green and finally to indigo and purple to the right.
She literally couldn't contain herself and just started going from tank to tank, pressing her face in close and getting a good look at what she'd only saw on the internet her whole life. Petstores in the US sometimes had hedgehogs, but they were illegal in some states. None ever had colored ones.
She was helping herself to a lime green spiked hedgehog when the others caught up with her. The little guy was really chill, actually, and he curled up (spikes down) in the palm of her hand.
Rune just held him out in mid air toward Drayson. Its stumpy little legs wobbled up and down. Its nose lifted and sniffed at the air.
"Thats why!"
There was a hedgehog play pen set up nearby. Kind of like what was used for babies, but smaller and stocked with hedgehog toys, like dominos and balls, tunnels and even a bead pit.
She set the green spiked fella in the center and started luring him around the pen to play with the various toys. Its nose pushed around as it explored, but when it got to the dominos, it somehow managed to hit the front one just right and the little white blocks lay down their perfect snake-like pattern.
"Who wouldn't want a hedgehog's whats yah should be askin'!"
