Look at all these damn pets. They were just everywhere. Some were so fluffy and others... well they were not so fluffy. She wanted... no... needed all of them. How could you say no to these pretty little faces? How could you!
The teenage girl spent at least an hour here a week looking, and sometimes playing, with a gleam in her eye at these creatures. It was like when she hung around the local book store for her favorite author to release a new book. She'd never actually seen the person of course... nobody really had but they wrote so well it was just to die for.
She was currently in the bird section like a disney princess watching the creatures chirp away like they weren't locked in a cage. She felt so sad for them. They needed to find a home so badly but her apartment didn't really have any space for animals. That and her landlord told her three pets was enough and she was already at that maximum. What could she say she liked animals?
She made her way down the aisle of cages when she bumped into someone. "Oops, sorry," was all that came out of her mouth as she looked at the... yeah it was a rack of items. She had just said sorry to bird seed that she had bumped into. Wow. Well she should go now she'd just totally embarrassed herself. Hopefully nobody saw that..
Caleb had decided to go out and watch some animals today. No, it's not as if he had any other things to do; he just wanted to clear his mind of, is all. He also decided to bring Aria, his familiar, along with him, since it would be boring going out of the house on his own. The eagle couldn't refuse; she was so excited about going outside and seeing other animals just like her, whether they be her kin or her prey, or other species she did not know about. So, by the time the clock hit 9:30 a.m., they set out.
Both witch and familiar passed by the residential area, where so many witches were crowding over at. Caleb and Aria would occasionally see friendly faces waving and greeting them as they pass by, and they do the same to them. But the animals were their primary option. They had to hurry.
The pet shop was probably the easiest place to get to, where there are so many animals, so they decided to go there instead of sight-seeing in the forest instead. Going to the forest was quite dangerous and very risky, while the pet shop keeps all its animals in the hinges of cages. Caleb and Aria did enjoy watching cute animals, too; it's just that Caleb would rather have them outside of their cages to see the world and walk around the earth than have them trapped in cages. Well, at least he knows the shop owner keeps the cages of the animals clean.
They finally arrived at the shop after walking for a good fifteen minutes. Caleb and Aria entered the shop, enticed with the various species of animals trapped in here. However, Caleb wanted to know if they aren't the only ones in here. He grabbed his notebook and called Aria, who immediately came to his aid.
"Do check if someone else is here. I don't want to enter the shop if it is actually closed, so I could really use a staff or another costumer."
Aria flew around the shop, careful not to disturb some of the pets who were currently asleep. Her sharp eyes searched and searched for any other person that could be here. It was then that she suddenly heard the clanking of cages, so she flew to the direction of the sound right away. Seeing that there was another girl, a cheer of triumphant searching entered her mind. She then called out to her master, who was quite as delighted as she was.
"Master, I saw one. Maybe she's a costumer or a staff of the pet shop. Come over here and you can talk to her."

There was a sound of something moving... maybe soaring through the air? She couldn't quite say until a fucking bird just came out of nowhere. Like what kind of witchcraft was this. Burn it at the stake! Oh wait... everything was magic around here... never mind.
The teenage girl stared with a shocked expression on her face like she was caught doing something bad. All she'd done was bump into something and think it was a person. You know totally cool and normal people things that normal people did. Haha. Yeah.
"BIRD!?" was all she could blurt out in surprise like the fuck. It started talking so it was most assuredly a familiar. Maybe some kind of construct? Nah familiar seemed to be the most logical conclusion. Well she did say master so hopefully whoever the witch was that owned the creature wasn't creepy. She'd have to smack them otherwise. Though it would help to have an outlet for her rage.
"I mean uh... nothing to see here... just normal person things," she said with an unconvincing laugh. She leaned against the small shelf she'd thought was a person for a split second. She nearly knocked off some bird seed while she did so trying to act all like she was totally doing this all on purpose when it was clear she was just clumsy.
Had it not been for Caleb pulling her wing softly to make her come to him, Aria would've landed on the floor really hard. The falcon gushed slightly away from the girl, then raised an eyebrow. She seems to be anxious or something. That yelp in surprise did shock Aria quite a bit. She flew up to her master's shoulder, who was already approaching the room where she had seen the strange teen.
Caleb turned his head to face his familiar. Aria? You seem quite shocked... or surprised. What is wrong? He asked, a worried look on his face.
Aria turned back to her master and shook her head. A-Ah, nothing really, master. It's just... she paused halfway through her sentence before continuing. What a strange girl I have met. I swear she was almost going to smack me in the face in time when she yelped.
Caleb simply giggled, albeit silently. His familiar can be quite one to shock and he knew it. He turned to the hallway and saw that he was already in front of the door. Entering the room, he looks around and sees cages and bird seed everywhere on the floor.
And... a girl.
"I mean uh... nothing to see here... just normal person things..." he hears the teen mutter under her breath, followed by a small laugh to herself. He smiled. Girls can be quite adorable when they do this. He starts to walk up to her with a wave of his hand, greeting the girl.
Knowing that he wants to say something, Aria immediately turns to the teenage girl. Hello there. As you can see, my master is mute, so he could only communicate with others through his notebook or through sign language. What he does want to say is that he greets you a good morning.
Nodding at Caleb as he begins to relay his messages to her, Aria turns to the girl again. What is your name, if this isn't so sudden? And are you perhaps a staff or simply a visitor?

Bird seed was spilled all over the floor. It was kind of like sand spread out along the beach... or more accurately a sand box that had spilled out over the grass. Something that didn't belong but was still there regardless. A weed in this field of consumerism.
The teenage girl stared at the pair as they began to talk to her. Also by they it was only the familiar that had been speaking and that seemed to be the case for... well ever. She was now amutely aware he hadn't spoken during this small exchange. Did she just pun again? Damn it... well it was okay as long as she didn't do it out loud right? Right.
"Oh... okay!? Um wait isn't it like two in the afternoon?" Not how she should have the conversation go. Nope not at all and yet here we are going along with this insane tangent. "Um wait shit. I deaf-inately don't work here no... um... uh... and my name is Siobhan? Why did I say that like a question? I don't know. Wow I must sound insane. Anyway feel free to cut me off any time but... you can't really do that... because mute... right. I'll just go home now." She gives the young man some finger guns and wishes she had some way to vanish off the face of the planet.
She of course didn't have that kind of magic. Maybe she could burn herself up enough that she'd just turn to ash and blow away in the wind. Nope she couldn't do that either. Well this would just be awkward. She just needed to escape from this awkward encounter. Can't ever talk to this boy again... not that she could... you know because mute. Was she a terrible person? Yes.
Caleb and Aria both watch as the teenage girl stammers about, saying some random things, thought they were actually necessary replies needed for the questions given to her. Only most of the replies were... weird, if Aria could say that. Caleb was giggling softly as he watched the girl -- whom apparently named herself Siobhan -- stuttered about through her words. God was this girl so funny and cute at the same time.
But when she started to pun about her master's condition, Aria's eye twitched. Was she trying to insult her master?! The falcon was about to cut her off as a retort to the teenage girl's words, when Caleb pulled a feather from her tail. He shook his head with a reassuring smile. Aria, I know what you're thinking. They were just puns, nothing more. Don't be so hostile.
Aria sighed and nodded, landing back on her master's shoulder. She can be so hostile to little things sometimes and she knew it. When Siobhan had suddenly decided to leave, Aria cut her off. Where are you going, Siobhan? She asked, with a rather stern voice. Somewhere else? Why don't you stay for a while?

There was no escape from that stupid bird. The bird who was obviously evil. She had to be evil given that glare that was emanating from her evil eyes. The way she menacingly hovered around them. It was obvious the bird was pure evil. Truly the most heinous of creatures she'd ever met. No wait. This was just an annoyance in familiar form... nothing more.
The teenage girl wished she knew some kind of blinking or teleporting magic. Something like her sibling knew how to do. She should really get him to teach it to her as it was very useful in awkward situations like this. Plus you got the vanish in a cool puff of smoke. How cool was that! Super cool.
"Okay Siobhan calmness and tranquility. Calmness and tranquility. It's not nice to punch people." She hummed this to herself trying to remain calm. Her immediate response usually involved adding mana to strengthen her raw physical prowess and punching things. She did so love to punch things... especially monsters. However it tended to be frowned upon to punch familiar or fellow witches. Excessive force or something like that. Well they should learn to dodge.
"Now once again annoyingly aggressive bird... I'm moving away from the things spilled on the ground," she said with very calm tone. It was like she was meditating... or like in the middle of meditating. It was to try and keep from her hot headed nature since she'd been told often it scared off boys. That and it tended to make her less than popular among her peers like this boy. People didn't tend to want to be your friend when you punched them in the face.
Caleb's eyes widened at Aria once she had said what she had said. That was quite rude, wasn't it? The young man scratched his head and chuckled silently, with his mind having a voice for her to hear. Uh... that was, quite rude, wasn't it Aria? He asked anxiously. I mean, you shouldn't really be hostile towards a girl we had just met...
Aria snorted at this and turned back to the girl, who was starting to say something to her. Heh. If anything, this girl was the one being rude, she told him, while the girl explained that she was just moving away from the things in the ground -- the bird seed. She even called me 'aggressively stupid'!
No offense, but you deserve it. You were being hostile towards her.
I wouldn't be if she was just going to take us seriously.
Caleb sighed silently, then turned and walked up to the teenage girl. He couldn't argue with Aria right now. He'd just have to write her an apology. Grabbing his notebook from his jacket, he hurriedly started to write down an apology. Once finished, he tore it out and handed it to the girl, then scratched his head sheepishly.
"I'm sorry for my familiar's hostile behavior towards you. She can be like that sometimes. Like I said, I'm really really sorry."

Okay maybe she didn't like birds anymore. That thing was annoying at least so maybe it was just bird familiars? The boy seemed nice enough... weak and boy like as boys are. Ya know? It'd explain why the bird was so aggressive... weakness being hidden as bravado.
The teenage girl started stepping away from the scene. She really just didn't want to have to pay for what had been spilled. Not that she couldn't... well no she probably couldn't afford all of it to be honest. She'd been given the piece of paper with the boy's statement on it just when she thought she found an opening to vanish. Damnit.
"It's okay, you seem nice enough but like... we should move... like now." She said as she backed away further. She didn't really care if the boy followed or not she just needed to not be... near a giant spill that the store would probably make her either clean up or pay for. Or worse... both.
She seemed calmer than she was before. She did have a hot headed nature since... well forever but she was trying not to be like that around the weaker sex... men. It was in her best interest after all... most of the time. Though she had lost her temper with that flower potion debacle not that long ago. Who knows.
[attr="class","victoriousscroll"]He noticed the girl's motions as she backed away from the bird spill on the floor, and Caleb knew they should be getting out of here in no time. Shop owners aren't so kind when they'll discover that their customers had messed up their store, and they would have to request those said clumsy customers to clean the mess they had made.
For Caleb, he would be happy to clean up the spill since he was a helpful boy... that is, if he did make the spill.
But he didn't cause such a mess. The girl did.
The girl's compliment about him made him blush a bit, but he knew there was no time for flatter-chatter. The young man and his familiar started to carefully walk over the sacks of bird spill on the floor, heading toward the girl. The incident with Aria and her seemed to have dissipated for a while, since there was a real problem abound in front of both sides right now. Once he was near the girl, he nodded to her and pointed towards an exit just behind her.
We should get out of here.
Walking carefully past her out of the bird seed spill, he stopped at a spot that didn't have that much mess and turned back to her. Holding out a hand, he smiled and nodded. If they wanted to get out, he thought they should do it together. If she refuses his hand, he would just have to follow wherever they need to go. The exit was just a few steps away from them, so they should be there by no time.
If both of them hurried up and avoided the shop-owner, then they would be out of here without problems.
I was thinking that after they do almost get out, the shop-owner sees them and they start to play hide and seek and chase XD

They'd make their way towards the exit. She wasn't one to hold hands so she'd walk towards him without grabbing his hand. She wasn't injured or anything so no need to get help like picking herself up off the ground or anything like that. She wasn't a wuss she was a fighter.
The door was so close to them and without a push it opened. She could hear someone shout behind her as she ran out the door. It couldn't be the boy who was probably following right behind her but it also couldn't be the familiar because it was a very masculine sounding voice. It had to be a worker or someone of that ilk that found the mess. And they were for sure following them. She could hear the footsteps.
"Well this is annoying," she muttered mostly to herself as she tried to think on her feet. She could use strengthening magic and just knock this guy out with a swift punch to the gut. Then again she'd rather not risk accidentally doing permanent damage doing this on the fly like she was. She kind of couldn't control how strong her punches were without ample time weaving the spell. Maybe just something to stun the guy? Flashy magic.
She turned her head back to look for a split second and yep they were definitely following them in a shop apron. Well they just needed to give him the slip right? She pushed her mana outward with her hand, using her access to the sky now that they were outside to condense stardust into little balls behind her. With a burst of her magic the little pockets of stardust exploded like flash grenades. They'd do very little if any damage but these were meant more to blind and/or stun for an escape. That was what this magic was built for.
[attr="class","victoriousscroll"]Well, that's just great. Now they were about to taste the freedom of getting out of this hellhole of a shop but seems like the shop owner in the apron was going to stop them. He sighed mentally and turned to Siobhan, but seems like she has other plans.
Then for a moment the grenades she had summoned burst and a sound of agony can be heard. Good. Seems like a time to finally escape. Caleb wasn't going to take any chances, so he grabbed her hand after the spell has been conjured and now they would be fleeing together out of here. No matter if he's gonna get slapped later. They have to get out of here before they are identified and doomed to clean the mess that this girl had done in the first place.
Aria hovered over them and rolled her eyes. Ugh, she was going to be honest here, but they looked really pathetic. It was just a pet shop, a small one even! Why even take the back door when they could make their way out of the front door and pretend nothing ever happened?
But then again, the shop owner was there. So back door they are supposed to go.
They got to the next room, but a huge problem was at stake. More seedlings were scattered everywhere, and the birds around them in cages were emitting loud noises that were unbearable even to Caleb and Aria combined. Aria could practically understand what the birds were saying, but she didn't want to tell Caleb and the girl right now. The birds' beaks were only filled with bawling profanities against them.
At this point, Caleb and Siobhan couldn't cross because of the risk of sliding on the floor because of the bird seeds. But the door was only a few more meters away from them and luckily, from the corners of the room, there was a broom by the side. Caleb closed his eyes and concentrated momentarily on the broom, even if it was a ridiculous thing to do.
And then the broom flies over to him, hitting by the chest, and there was no time for marvel about what just happened. Caleb immediately got to work and hurriedly swept of the bird seeds out of the way to create a path for him and the girl to pass on.
It took him a mere ten minutes, but finally he was done and they were now in front of the door. The young man turned to the girl and gestured for her to hurry, before pushing open the door to go outside.

Her arm was grabbed by the boy as the rushed out towards the back door. She could deck him right here and now for that but this wouldn't get her anywhere. Besides she didn't like to hit people weaker than her which to be honest boys usually were.
The door was so close to them and thankfully the magic of her stardust worked like a charm to aid in their escape. The poor shopkeep would probably be at least partially blinded for a couple of minutes and not able to hear well thanks to how loud and flashy the bangs were as opposed to being... you know actually dangerous to the human body.
There was screeching birds everywhere and it was really getting on the young woman's nerves. The boy stopped them in their tracks as another huge pile of seeds was on the ground which to be honest was a fall risk. The nerve of some people. It was honestly probably the shop keepers doing when he heard them he probably dropped a bag he was holding to chase after the two kids causing the seeds to explode all over the place. A broom called towards the boy as he quickly tried to sweep away a path. She could have probably just burned it all away or telekinetically pushed it away but hey whatever works.
"TO FREEDOM" she yelled as she pushed the boy towards the door. The man wouldn't have a reason to follow them outside right? Right. With a quick push the door would be open and they'd be outside to bask in their victory. Take that small time shopkeeper. Nothing can face the mighty power of Jester's Den witches! Not even evil bird seeds and middle aged guys in aprons. Nothing!
[attr="class","victoriousscroll"]Screeching birds, the shopkeep screaming in pain, and their current predicament. How very fun this situation was. The young man even predicted the place they were going the moment they exit this shop; a dark alleyway with a few criss-crosses, until they finally get to Downtown Sundial and to freedom. But hey, at least a harder route was better than nothing.
Aria turned her head to the screeching birds and clicked her tongue. If you both want to get out of here, make it quick, She said to them with an impatient, sing-song voice. Turning her head backwards, her eyes widened in panic when she saw the shopkeep about to stand up. The shopkeep's regaining his consciousness.
Caleb was about to inform Siobhan about this. But the next thing he knew, Siobhan was already pushing him towards the door and yelling freedom. The young man stumbled out of the backdoor, and making sure that the both of them are outside, he closed the door behind them tight. Gladly the door won't open up after a few budges, so he and the other witch could get their asses out of here in time.
He was right; the place was full of secret alleyways, but there was the light of the sun and the sounds of the hustle and bustle of the people outside, so they probably won't have any problem navigating the area. Turning to the pathway in front of them, he ran straight ahead, looking back over to Siobhan and signalling her to follow him. This pathway had the most marketplace light anyways, so with a few more runs they could get out of here and away from the shopkeeper.

The alleyway was as expected... not that scary given the time of day. No doubt it would look like a murder scene in some crappy horror movie at night but it was the middle of the day so that wasn't a thing. One could even hear the hustle and bustle of market street from where they were.
The door was behind them at this point as the boy ran straight... most likely trying to go into the direction of the crowd. It would be easier to hide in the crowd and made people less likely to find them or attack. Just to be safe though... maybe a little fire magic could help. She placed her hand right next to the middle of the door where the latch is. Behind her a small marsupial appeared in a flash of flames. TECHNIQUE: MELT would be good here. She poured her mana into the crack of the door using it to melt some of the door trying to make it stick. Harder to chase them when the door was hard to open right?
She took off with the small marsupial on her heels towards the direction the boy had ran. Hopefully that could slow down any possible pursuit or even stop it. Can't chase someone if you can't get out of the door! It was not a terrible idea after all.
"Hurry up," she yelled as she ran to make up the difference that little magic attack had cost her. She was a fast girl though so there was little doubt he could run fast enough to evade her totally... unless he was a wind witch of course which could be given his bird familiar. You never know. You could hear banging behind them... more than likely the man trying to unstick the partially melted lock. Run for it!
