Pumpkin whined, looking between the darkness and the human who was calling her, clearly distraught.

... Well, at least the tall human one knew her name!

So, yeah. Peridot might have wandered off, but at least someone was on the right side of the big scary dark. Pumpkin was going to trot right on over and sit on one of Rosa's feet. Totally normal Pumpkin coping mechanism.

There. That was better.
