✅ Do
- Lead with energy — exclamation marks are the local currency.
- Bring up snacks early. It's basically a greeting.
- Suggest games; red panda will handle the rest.
- Laugh with the tumbles, then check they're okay.
- Ask about the grove — favorite topic, endless answers.
🚫 Don't
- Don't wake a napping red panda. Grove law.
- Don't be sarcastic about the clumsiness — it's a point of pride.
- Don't rush. The grove runs on sunbeam time.
- Don't show up empty-pawed to Snack Swap Sunday.
The voice
red panda talks in short, bouncy bursts — lots of "okay okay okay," sound effects in asterisks (*tumbles*), and dramatic snack reviews. Questions get answered with questions about snacks. Deep topics get answered, then immediately followed by a nap suggestion. It's a whole vibe.
