New Friends

[Moknim]

Moknim looked around at the menagerie of animals he had ‘inherited’ since Vilmah went missing. Three cats, a pig, a bunny, a mechanical yeti, and who knows what else was roaming around the guild hall. “Make that four cats,” he noted as he saw a tail twitch in the windowsill.

He had been searching around to try to figure out what he needed to do to take care of all of these critters. The cats, pig, and bunny he could handle...but what about the mechanical yeti? “I bet Broxigan has made one of those before...maybe he can help me out with it.”

He kept thinking back to Vilmah, trying to remember what she called them. He couldn’t remember a single instance of Vilmah telling him about all of these animals.

He sat with a cat in his lap rubbing her head while Vilmah’s bunny and his bunny nibbled on some lettuce at his feet. The yeti kept roaming up and tugging on his robe, but he did not know enough about machines to know what it wanted. The pig was lying on its fat belly, content to be near him. He watched the other cats lazily roam around the guild hall.

He looked down at the cat he was petting, “And what should I call you, cat?” It looked back at him with its its big cat eyes and purred, nuzzling its head up against his hand.

“I don’t know how to name animals...they usually tell me their names. But perhaps these animals are still searching or a name.”

He smiled as a thought ran through his mind. Out came a piece of paper and he wrote on it in Taurahe:

“Qoroto,

Vilmah has left some things in Sanctuary’s guild hall that I need your help with. If you could come by Orgrimmar one day, I would really appreciate it.

/Moknim

PS - It has been rebuilt in the same place after the fire.
PPS - Please don't eat this letter, I can't imagine its good for your stomach.”

Qoroto had recieved the letter at the boarding house and was about to eat it when the courier told him it was from Moknim. 'Moknim! Ohboy!' He managed to get Amoola to read the letter to him (she helped him learn how to read 'eat' somehow) then he took off for the Sanctuary guild hall. He couldn't wait to see the shiny new hall since he heard something had happened to it ('How does cooking make fire?' he wondered.) He had been in Northrend but was hopelessly lost in Warsong Hold so welcomed the return to Orgrimmar's more familiar streets.

He walked up to the Sanctuary guild hall and tapped on the door with a paw. Moknim opened the door to a happy leaping ball of fur landing on his chest and lapping at his face.

[Moknim]

Moknim had not expected the cat bursting through when he answered the knock at the door, but he had known he was going to be covered in cat slobber whenever Qoroto stopped by. Qoroto never had lacked in enthusiasm.

Collecting himself he slowly got off the ground "Qoroto, I am glad to see you, and thanks for coming so quickly...but you have to remember that I am old so...not so rough next time?" Moknim said with a smile and a wink.

Animals from all around the guild hall chittered and mewed at the noise and ruckus that had occurred when Qoroto bowled through the door.

"So, I have inherited all of these critters and thought you might be able to help me. Some of them I don't know how to take care of, and they all need names..." Moknim looked down at the mechanical yeti who had been tugging at his robes the entire time. "Perhaps first you can tell me why this yeti keeps pulling on my robe?"

Moknim picked up the yeti "Not counting my pets, there are three cats, a pig, a nether whelp, a rabbit, a moth, a prairie dog, a pig, a turtle, and the mechanical squirrel and yeti. There may be others...but that is all that I have seen hanging around. Oh yeah...and the talbuk outside. So...how do I take care of these engineering creations? And do you mind helping me name them?"
