This egg is warm to the touch, as if someone has been holding it all day. Its stitched seams have gone thin from being nuzzled.
A Kanina hatches with one wish: to be loved. It will follow its owner from room to room, pressing its worn little body against their ankles until it is picked up. Kaninas at this stage don't care much for food or games, only closeness. Some say a Kanina that is truly loved begins to feel real in a way other creatures never do. Whether that's magic or just what love does, nobody can say.
Love, it turns out, breeds confidence and maybe a little too much of it! In its second stage, the Kanina spends its days squeezing under garden gates and helping itself to whatever the farmers of Ark's countryside have planted. Lettuce, radishes, beans... nothing is safe and no warning goes heeded. Owners are advised to keep a close eye on their Kanina and an even closer eye on their vegetable patch in this stage. If yours comes home without its jacket, it's best not to ask.
The Kanina's final form is rarely seen at rest. Always consulting its pocket watch, always muttering that it's late, and it hurries toward somewhere no one else can find. Those who follow a Kanina tend to tumble into places they never expected and come back changed. Scholars believe the Kanina doesn't run from anything, but toward hidden truths the rest of us overlook. If one crosses your path, you have a choice: let it pass or follow it.
