What brought Devoc to the park? Well... "Erm, I was just passing by, actually," he stammered, rubbing the back of his head. "I was on my way to Medicai to get some documents for my father. He's a history professor, you see, and there's information in Medicai about the history of doctors that he needs..."
Part of him really did want to stay and enjoy the snow. But Devoc's responsible side told him that he had to get going. He wondered if any of these people would make him stay around. They all seemed very nice, but he did have a job to do. Either way, he'd feel terrible somehow. If he left for Medicai, he'd worry that he'd disappoint all these wonderful folks. If he stayed, his father's research might be impacted.
He looked at Gabriel and Mia when the special Christmas critters were mentioned. "Ah...I think I've heard of those too. They're only around during the winter, correct? I suppose it would be nice to see one. I've heard the birds are quite pretty in particular. Maybe if you put out some food, they will come?"
