[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?

[ritsu_kouyou]

Not much other than that they are relatively intelligent compared to most birds. Regardless, there's an entire ocean between here and Germany.

[pishirogane]

Yes. I myself don't know how he did it precisely, but he managed and came to Death City directly to start pecking at me. I wouldn't put it passed crows perhaps recognizing the European Branch of Shibusen. He wouldn't even require assistance going that far since we had to walk back to use the mirror.

[Said crow pecks the brim of her cap once and she can only scowl slightly at him.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

How bizarre.

[She turned her gaze into the bird.] Doesn't it annoy you?

[pishirogane]

Occasionally, but I've grown used to it.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Hm. I've never had an animal before. It always seemed too much of a bother.

[pishirogane]

It seems that way until you have one personally. Though, I grew up with my Grampa's cat around. The first pet I was officially responsible for was my pet tarantula.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I would prefer the large spider over the cat.

[pishirogane]

Have a bad history with cats?

[ritsu_kouyou]

I don't like them.

[pishirogane]

So it's no matter of being allergic or even a ailurophobia. You just despise cats.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Exactly. A tarantula seems far more tolerable to me.

[pishirogane]

[... She doesn't understand. There's usually a specific reason... something worth noting about Akiha]

Then it may be best to try having a tarantula as your first pet. Unless you have an animal in mind you were curious about.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[If only canon gave a solid reason.]

Oh, I don't have any interest in having a pet. I was just curious about your choice as I'd never seen this kind of bird as one before. I'm used to people preferring cats, dogs or fish.

[pishirogane]

[Damn you canon!]

I see. Yes, birds such as cockatoos and parrots are the common. Crows themselves aren't meant to be pets unless you have a license. He's been free to leave whenever he pleases; though, it's possible this is part of his plot. I'm not sure.

[She frowns slightly.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

If it wasn't for the distance it traveled I would question the possibility of there even being a plot.

[Because. it's a bird.]

[pishirogane]

[She certainly gives crows too little credit. Poe caws.]

I'm certain he could try joining the few murders that pass through Death City if it was a matter of traveling home.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Or it could be that you're feeding it. [She directs a look down at the seed.]

[pishirogane]

[Nuts, meat, insects, and berries actually smushed into pellets.]

I'm feeding him because we received minimal damage to our apartment thanks to him being present.

[ritsu_kouyou]

...are you claiming it acted like a guard dog?

[pishirogane]

From the numerous talon marks we found on a few perpetrators, yes. He also tracked down the several who escaped arrest over the last few days.

[ritsu_kouyou]

That sounds less like the actions of a pet and more the actions of a being like Shibusen's cat. I suggest having it looked at. It may be fooling you pretending to be an ordinary bird.

[pishirogane]

I suppose I could have Stein-sensei look at him. With crows being common, his usual desire should be squashed. Still, I recommend reading up on various crow studies, Tohno-san.
