The 'animals'

It didn't take long for the three shortest girls from each house to turn up.

Bernadetta came from one side, while Annette walked over from the other direction with Lysithea. As they approached, it looked like Annette was going to speak first, but then halted as all three entered a trance state, and begun shucking off their clothes.

"Rawk?" Bernie curled her legs up to her chest, flapping her arms as she jumped about, squawking.

"Rawr..." Annette got on all fours and began to lick herself clean like a cat, before spying Lysithea. The 'deer' didn't maske noise, but looked determinately at Annette, the 'lion' licking her chops. It didn't take long before Annette was chasing Lysithea around the courtyard, both on all fours and even using their feet to increase their speed instead of using their knees.

"Awww, they're so cute." Rhea tries petting Bernie, who sidles away from the hand. "This is a fun ritual, when did this start?"
