Hello, adventurer~!

Have you been enjoying your fun, cozy life in Erinn?

Did you know the 21st was “Squirrel Appreciation Day”~

It’s a day for helping out squirrels with their foraging and paying a little more attention to wild animals too.

And Erinn probably has its own tiny, precious little things that deserve that kind of care too,

so adventurer, what’s a small but precious presence to you?

Maybe it’s a pet that’s always right there by your side,

or a wild animal you just happen to spot while walking around.

Today, I want to talk about one tiny little something I came across in Erinn~

1 Of course, my companion animal is the best!

Of course, the very first thing that comes to mind is pets!

Having cute little animals of all kinds and all kinds of looks with you just feels so reassuring~

If there’s a buddy that looks like the companion animal you have in real life,

I’ve heard some people bring that one along in Erinn too without even looking at performance, just because they want to stay with them.

The way they come scampering after you everywhere is adorable,

and when a fight starts, seeing them go hyah~ and help out with that tiny little body is so sweet I could cry!

On top of that, they’ve been adding little pet interactions here and there lately,

so now we get to see even more of their cute sides💕

If you interact directly with your pet, you can see special little actions,

and if you make a space for your pet in My Home, you can watch them use it too.

I keep wondering what other interactions they’ll add next to melt adventurers’ hearts~

2 Collecting plant pots

Next up, plants!

Adventurer, do you like growing plants?

I’m actually pretty bad at taking care of them in real life.

I’ve had quite a few pots wilt on me because I watered them too much, or not enough😢

I even searched things up online and looked into all kinds of info,

but they still didn’t grow as well as I hoped, and that honestly made me sad.

So I tend to shy away from taking care of plants.

Whenever I think about the little guys that never really got to grow properly and were gone because of me, it makes my heart ache.

But!

In Erinn, I can fill my home with all kinds of plants without worrying about any of that👍

I brought loooads of plant pots with all kinds of colors

and all sorts of leaf shapes into My Home!

Collecting other furniture is fun too, and I’ve been crafting a lot, but…

somehow, I think plant pots are the thing I’m most obsessed with.

Even when a home feels a little empty, one flowerpot can totally change the mood,

and I really love the cozy, warm feeling it adds.

All the pots have different shapes and colors, and the plants are all different kinds too,

so it seriously makes me want to craft and own every single one.

Del in Emain Macha sells a set amount of the materials you absolutely need to make plant pots every week.

If you’re interested, make sure you don’t forget to buy those materials ahead of time~

I hope you get completely lost in decorating My Home into your own little botanical garden!

3 Bonding with a cute sparrow

On a bench somewhere in Dunbarton, there’s an elderly lady sitting there.

If you look closely, you’ll notice a tiny little sparrow with her.

She must have been coming out at the same time and scattering little bits of food for the sparrow from that bench,

and that’s probably how their little friendship began~

This little sparrow! It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s only known the grandma for a day or two~

I stood there watching quietly, and it hopped right up onto her palm🥰

It’s not some special interaction with the adventurer or anything,

but the warm feeling of a scene that seemed to carry its own little story was so healing.

Sometimes when I thought of it, I’d come sit here, play an instrument,

and just spend a little time there.

If you need a quiet little healing time too, adventurer,

try going to Dunbarton, finding the sparrow and the grandma, and just spending a peaceful moment there~

Whether in Erinn or in real life,

I hope you got to take a moment to look back with a little more care and love

at the small beings you might normally pass by without thinking~

Hoping your day feels a little warmer in this cold winter,

I’ll wrap up today’s post here.

See you again next time, adventurer!

Byeee~🖐🖐🖐
