A surprisingly new bond [image heavy!]

[Finduilas]

Today I finally bought Findu's transmog-outfit: the level 70 pvp set. I really love the colors and combined it with a blue cloak to match the gloves'/shoes' blue markings. When looking around my stables I found Sambas, that doesn't see the light of day a lot with Findu, because he is too "alliance" for me. I never could let myself let him go so he was sitting in my stables. Now comes his time to shine. I will use this outfit for Pve as well and he is just the perfect color to go with it. I was amazed how great he looks next to Findu and immediately could feel a bond with him that never had existed before with this pet. I'm still struggling about renaming my "Clearance" but for now, he's fine. Even his blue eyes, that always were too shiney for me now really suit him well.


After this discovery I decided to think about other pets that would look good now with Findu. I had seen Solix up earlier this day and decided to check out the molten front spiders. First I tamed a common red one, but she was not what I was looking for. Solix was still up so I decided to give it a try and tame him. I didn't remember him being so easy to tame solo A circle and a few traps later he was mine. And guess what? He looks perfect. I took a picture of him and my new hyppogryphon (finally, yay) and don't they look cute together? Any naming ideas for this spider are very welcome! I have a Solix named Chili with my Tauren and my fiance has a Skitterflame named Tabasco. Perhaps something related? But I'm open to everything. I just have a feeling that it's a girl



Then I checked my stables for further matching pets and met my red Madexx. I love him, but he was just too red so I headed to Uldum to tame one of the scorpids there. Madexx was not up (would have been to much) so I tamed a common one. I had to throw out my beloved Ringo (Arcturis) but it's not like he is gone, he just changed into the scorpid. So my new scorpid now holds the spirit of Ringo the Arcturis as Ringo the Bronze Scorpid. I will keep my red Madexx for now to find out if I still feel a connection to him.



Findu is not the only one to have recent addition to her stable. I found myself being stalked by The Rake in Mulgore. I had been flying to Mulgore again and again with some toons for cooking/fishing dailies and each and every time I flew over the Rake. I finally gave in to his call, taming him with my Tauren. I thought it would be the best for him to be with a Tauren and Larkanias Flatland Cougar (her first pet at level 10) could need some company from home. So I flew Larkania to Mulgore and went looking for this cat. I spent 15 minutes searching each and every tree, shadow and hole for him before finally finding him. Oh the irony... I tamed him and named him Oxalis after a Tauren hunter I once had and then deleted for a druid. This hunter has had a pet like the Rake (one of the lions from the Barrens) and the name just stuck. I must admit that I really fell in love with this cat model again. He looks just so classy, protecting and natural. After all the bright and shiney pets I think I am happy about something "normal".

After not having a lot of changes (only additons) in all my hunters' stables it feels good to tame something new, just because I like it, not because it's rare or new. Oxalis is already in my call-5 pets when questing and doing dungeons and I have a good feeling for Findu's new additions and old found love to be around a lot.

I know how you feel. My black Madexx had to be pulled out a second time before I finally clicked with him. But that bond is just as strong as if we had clicked immediately.

Sambas really does look good with you in that first pic!
