[Luckily enough, the ferrets mind their business even if they do cast a glance in their direction every now and then until they move to the next aisle. It's...likely going to be this way the entire time they're in this section, until they reach the larger mammal section and Legosi is less noticeable among the higher shelves and Haru nigh impossible to see. Small mammals are just built to be inherently nervous and over-aware of their surroundings.

But there's a reason why the two of them aren't getting the usual helpful attentiveness from the floor staff. Different species couples may have gained a bit more acceptance than how things had been years ago, but couples coming into a store catering to expectant parents and those with kids?? The animals that'll gawk, will do so, and the staff keeps a close eye. Society has changed, sure, but old habits in spaces like these still linger.

Haru is either too scatter brained and distracted to notice, or more likely she chooses to ignore it. She blinks away the misty-eyed feeling that wells up immediately on seeing the small clothes (hormones........) and loops her fingers around Legosi's belt loop with her free hand.

(She did, in fact, notice the stares, and will continue to notice it).

I was a runt of a kit; I wonder if that'll be genetic. But maybe...you'll even it out for them? [She places it back, tugging on Legosi's belt loop towards the slightly larger sizes. Which, compared to a puppy, are still small.] If growing fast is an issue, I'd rather get large sizes outright. Maybe we should get one or two outfits from the large section here, and then maybe one or two from the smalls for large mammals. What do you think?

[Unlooping her finger, she immediately goes to look at some floral patterned onesies despite herself.]

Although...I'd think even the smallest wolf puppy is still larger than a dwarf rabbit kit.

[She sounds calm but, one ear flicks back slightly, conveying uncertainty.]
