[pishirogane]

[A few rounds of training with Poe and Naoto decided to stop. Even in the morning, the heat was climbing and they both required shade. One crow perched and turning on her head as it looked around, its beady black eyes look down when she reached into her pocket. He had seen her tuck something away earlier, but she stopped him before he could find out what it was.]

[It's a small bag of... something definitely. A trail mix for a crow with bits of raw meat, bugs, nuts, and berries the omnivorous creature could want. The weight on her shoulder said Poe had hopped down to look closer and soon, he fluttered into her lap, watching as the bag was opened]

It should be formulated correctly...

[Holding the bag, she let Poe sit there and peck at the food. Besides the bird, she appeared free to bother. Why not talk to her?]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[Akiha paused as she was passing by, eyebrow raised.]

You have a pet bird?

[pishirogane]

[Naoto looks up. It's been a while since she's seen Akiha. Poe doesn't stop pecking at his food.]

Yes.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Unusual breed for a pet. [She looked the bird over. At least it wasn't a cat.] How did you acquire it?

[pishirogane]

[The cat stays at home]

A mission to Germany. He wasn't very pleased to be controlled and then knocked out. He became more agreeable after walnuts following a flight here to find us.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...is it like Shibusen's cat?

[Also known as Blair.]

[pishirogane]

Blair-san? No, he isn't.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Then how would he have flown here from Germany looking for you? I don't recall birds being like that.

[pishirogane]

How much do you know about crows?

[vintage_magic]

[Now that she had checked on the plants, Lily was actually looking around for Kanji. She hadn't yet heard from her tailor after her late night return and wanted to let him know she was back. But she stopped when she noticed someone else familiar.]

Good morning, Naoto. Feeding the birds?

[She peered curiously at the bag. It didn't seem to be the typical bird seed. And a crow?]

[pishirogane]

[Naoto raised her head, nodding her greeting to Lily]

Greetings, Ivory-san. No, this is Poe.

[Poe looked up for a moment, beady eyes blinking, but then resumed his pecking.]

[vintage_magic]

[Lily leaned over to take a closer look at the bird.]

Poe? As in 'Edgar Allen'? He's a pet, then?

[Unusual choice for a pet... Although she probably didn't have much room to talk with the shape-shifting critter she kept as a familiar back home.]

[pishirogane]

Yes, that's right.

[There's a clicking beak as Poe chewed down some meat and paused again. He puffed his feathers and then shook them out.] He attacked a number of offenders that broke into our apartment. I thought I would try to make a proper reward for him.

[vintage_magic]

[She frowned at this news.] You had a break-in at your apartment? Did it just happen these past few days? Kanji hadn't mentioned it to me.

[But then she had been rather busy in the days before she disappeared with those missions...]

[pishirogane]

Not so much a break-in. More attempted vandalism by our local assailants while we were out on a mission.

[From the glower on her face, Lily can probably figure out who she's talking about.]

[vintage_magic]

I take it you mean those folks causing trouble during the evacuations. Was your apartment badly damaged?

[And that reminded her she'd never heard more news after the kidnappers were caught...] Did the police ever catch the leaders of that gang anyway?

[pishirogane]

Fortunately, no. Poe managed to hold them off once they broke the window and I've noted cat scratches on a few taken into custody. Most likely Iza's doing when they breached too far. If I recall as well, there was a new Watch member assigned to our district. Her methods are... questionable, but she aided Takuto-kun and Fullbuster-san fending off a number of individuals.

[She sighs. Probably not pleased, but no objections to raise.]

[draculabackwards]

Oh. So that is your pet crow. *Alucard peers over at it*

[pishirogane]

[Naoto looks up and nods. Poe has stopped to stare back at Alucard]

Yes. This would be Poe.

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard canted his head toward the bird.* I used to have a summoning creature, a bat that would do my bidding when asked. I could understand them well enough, but I suspect that would not be the case if I attempted to adopt a bat here.

[pishirogane]

No, it would be vastly different. I doubt you have to consider vaccinations with a summoned creature.

[draculabackwards]

*Alucard blinked and looked confused* What are...vaccinations?

[pishirogane]

They're shots to prevent or reduce the chances of getting certain diseases.

[draculabackwards]

Ah. I suppose that would be an issue for humans and animals alike. *Alucard gets a pass on that department.*

Not to mention training a wild animal.

[pishirogane]

Indeed. Though, he doesn't have to stay and be subjected to vet visits.

[She looks at Poe, but he doesn't seem to care, eyes closed as his head turns.]
