((I’ve gotten 2 new Reqs. today, thanks! After this one, only the 2 will be left! And, fr, y’all really like the “new to the Lark” trope, but, hey, I’m not complaining! And for those who made corrections: THANK YOU I’m sorry but this is bland–))

The Lark now had five members, which no-one really expected, but the company was welcome! Everyone had shaken hands and traded names with the new member, but Perrine wanted to know more about them, and maybe be their newest and best friend.

Perrine walked over and sat by the newest member of the Lark and stood by them. “I know you’ve met the rest, but we haven’t really talked, you and I,” Perrine said. “I hope we can become friends, and I could show you the ropes of all this.”
