The trade for a bird and a- Raccoon?

[Weebmaster36 248]

Amelia Mondblume ran around the city of New Elysium, her green dress catching on stones or grass blades as she moved. The girl smiled happily up at the tree which held birds galore, they all chirped and cawed out to each other. Amelia knew her Pa had a crow, but it was mostly stationed with him whilst he was at work. She wanted a bird of her own very badly, so she could pet it and call upon it to send letters to friends she never had. And thus she decided that she would get a bird, so she traveled back to Haense, doing as she regularly did hitching a ride on one of the merchant's she met in Elysium. Once she had arrived Amelia went straight to the pet store she had passed by many a time before. Inside she looked over each creature, but none peaked her interest as a black crow and a raccoon. The girl's eyes seemed to shine under the lantern's light, moving to look at the two creatures. "How much are they?" Amelia asked the shop keeper as the raccoon reached one of its hands out at her. "5 mina each, they are too stubborn and don't listen well." The shop keeper spoke like it was a fact, waving a hand at the two creatures. Amelia nodded her head and quickly brought out 10 mina and placed it onto the counter. "Ich will take them both!" she beamed, the shopkeeper scratching their head as they gave in. "Take the crow first, I need to make sure the raccoon is clean again." Amelia nodded and picked up the cage of the crow and moving out of the shop. She walked for a minute or two before arriving at the garden's behind the palace, sitting the cage down and opening it. The bird tilted it's head at her and cawed out, almost in greeting. "Hallo there, du are ein beautiful bird. Ja, du are." She put her hand out, to see if the bird would hop over and sit in her hand. To her surprise it did, and spread his wings wide as he cawed again. "Du are ein gutt bird ja! Ich think ich will name du Shade." she hummed smoothing down his head feathers, Shade leaning into her hand. "Gutt bird, gutt bird." This was the begining of a loving friendship between man and bird, and soon enough raccoon too.
