Skaneel
You walk in and are surprised to see a rather 'modern' pet shop. Used to the medieval air of the rest of the haven, the tiled floor and bright lights seem out of place. Curiously, there is no cash register anywhere, and, although there is a variety of pet care products, they all seem to be opened, and used. Instead of the lines of cages and tanks that usually fill a pet shop, you continually trip over cats, lizards and hamsters in your attempt to find something that can speak back.
Skaneel
:I can speak: a voice startles you as you
almost trip over a small orange kitten that had been sleeping before you disturbed it,
:yes, I was, and I was having the most wonderful dream too. I was flying! And the air was
so crisp and...:
"You can talk!" you snap her out of her daydream.
:Well of course. My, some of you humans are so thick. I am Skaneel, which does NOT
mean any thing. I'm the resident telepathy in the 'shop'. Well, except for the baby snake,
but he can't do much yet. This isn't really a shop. Bay, our 'owner', set up this place to
take care of all us ordinary animals. Many people are willing to adopt 'mystical'
creatures like unicorns and such, but few people care about what happens to us ordinary
ones:
You point out that an talking cat is hardly ordinary.
:Thank you. I've been with Bay even before she started this project of hers. although lately she's sort of given it to me to watch over as she starts another one-taking care of the abandoned Rose Dragons. Most of the animals here are fairly self-sufficient, all I have to do is make sure that we have enough food and stuff. It rather hard to find any one in here, but Viko from Ginnal Santreysta should be here somewhere...VIKO!!:
From overhead flies in an annoyed brown and white canary who perches overhead and whistles piercingly at Skaneel. Although you can't understand him, she can and you overhear her response to his rebuke.
:You take to many baths anyway, that much water isn't healthy. Besides, I know how you like to benefit others with your *gorgous* presence.:
:Viko is a variegated white & brown, hardfeathered, plainheaded canary. That means that he has large patches of white and black feather that lay close to the body and are darker then the other type of feathers, buff feathers. A plain head simply means that he wont have any sort of crest. He think he's wonderful, don't you?:
A cuttlebone, to keep beaks trim and in shape, and a bath
Viko as a fledgling
