[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.]

[vintage_magic]

I see. It's fortunate they were able to keep your place from getting more damaged. I heard there were some cases of fires.

If y'all are still cleaning up, Kanji can take some time off from the shop. [She realized now her disappearance probably hadn't come at the most opportune time, being only a couple of days after the mission. And she had entrusted the spare set of shop keys to him so if he had chosen to open, he'd probably been kept occupied the last few days.] I was hoping to find him and let him know I'm back.

[pishirogane]

Yes, there were. [She sighs]

No, we're almost done. We're considering moving while everything needs to be tided up. [Naoto glances around] He should be back soon. He left to get some water.

[vintage_magic]

Moving? But I thought y'all already lived in one of the larger apartments. [She usually just sees Kanji at the shop but she did drop off a jar of poultice for him once at the apartment.]

[And she nods.] Okay, I can wait for a few minutes.

[pishirogane]

We do, but we've decided to start paying rent. [Besides, they've both been wanting more space for themselves.]

[Naoto nods and Poe hops up her shoulder] Would you like to sit down?

[vintage_magic]

Ah, I see. I've thought about renting one of those bigger places myself but it's been taking a lot of money to keep the shop stocked and running.

[With a nod, she settles on the grass, taking the opportunity to glance over at Poe.] I reckon there's a story behind how you got a crow as a pet?

[pishirogane]

Yes.

[Stability is always an issue. Naoto turns and Poe shakes out his feathers] Yes. A long story with a few speculative details.

[vintage_magic]

Too long to tell before Kanji gets back? [She wonders if it's as sudden as how she ended up with Oscar.]

[pishirogane]

No. I'm sure I can summarize it with sufficient detail.

[vintage_magic]

So, how did you end up with a pet crow?

[pishirogane]

It was a mission to Bonn, Germany. A Kishin egg was manipulating crows to attack humans so it was necessary to temporarily knock them out in order to locate the one holding them all. Controlled or not, a number were not pleased to be shot out of the sky. Poe was one of them, but he was the only one who decided to follow through by finding us.

[vintage_magic]

He followed you all the way from Germany? [That would be quite a long flight!] Or do you mean he chased you through the mirror on the way back?

[pishirogane]

He may have followed us through the mirror. It's something to consider since he had the energy to attack me during morning training briefly.

[vintage_magic]

He attacked you? I reckon that's not how most people get to know their pets...

[pishirogane]

I concur. However, that's how it happened once the walnuts came out.

[vintage_magic]

Um, walnuts? Where do they fit into this story?

[pishirogane]

During the attack, I managed to talk him down and gave him some walnuts as a peace offering.

Do we want Kanji to actually pop in later or should I just talk to Ami and handwave that part?

[vintage_magic]

Oh. So, you managed to tame him and take him in as a pet after that?

*Emerges in a cloud of glitter*

[topgun_textiles]

S'less 'pet' and more 'housemate that pecks everything'.

[He was just returning with a bottled water in each hand, passing one to Naoto before he did a double-take.]

Lily!? When the hell didja get back?

AHHH GLITTER

[pishirogane]

Yes, that would be accurate.

[She accepted the water bottle with a soft 'thank you' and blinks at his reaction]

... Oh yes. I insisted you sleep, didn't I? It was very early this morning.

[vintage_magic]

Kanji! I was looking for you! [Well, that was probably a bit obvious.]

That contraption always seems to drag me back here late at night. And I didn't hear from you then so I wanted to check on how things were with the shop. I hope there wasn't too much trouble?

You mean you saw that? [She glanced at Naoto. Lily hoped she hadn't gotten the wrong idea as Lezard had!]
