Unquiet Thoughts [Sera/Open]

[Ry]

A webbed kiwi threaded her way though the Capitol, quietly observing the sustained, frantic pace that almost alien to Midori. Card after Card raced through the city at an accelerated rate, flashing in her steady vision, accompanied by deafening, cacophonious sounds, some directed at the slow-moving, flightless avian.

"Excuse me!" "Pardon me!" "You're in my way." "Speed up." "Move."

Impatient passerby didn't wait for the daft bird to notice. The harried time-pressed sea parted around the stationary kiwi. Bright green swirled with bright pink, the odd avian was quiet, with a loud presence. She loomed over Vermin, Rodent and Feline Cards, booths, roped-off stalls, kioks, boxes, chests, barrels, and townhouses, as she moved. The incredible strength in her slim neck and webbed feet contrasted with the tiny wings in a slow, rolling gait, as she strode down the bustling walkways, and made her outstanding.

Were she less reserved and self-conscious, she might have blended better into the background.

Kanoni leaned up against the door frame into her little jewelry shop, "South Street Sparkles" and watched the crowd pass by, hoping someone would come in, or at least slow down to look at her window display. Not a single person had even spared her a single glance all day, and it was starting to get a little depressing...

She noticed rather tall, uncomfortable-looking, beautiful, kiwi walking down the street, people milling past her slowly moving form. She seemed a little overwhelmed moving through the river of busy people, just how Kanoni felt her first few days in the capital.

She had worked on a stone bead necklace late last night, inspired by who knows what. She couldn't fail to notice how fantastic the stones she had used would look on the beautiful bird's feathers.

Hesitantly, she called out to the kiwi, "Hello?" and then louder, "Excuse me, miss! Could I... Could I show you something? It'll only take a minute, I promise!"

(( It's a bird RP! And. . . i'm not. . . really here yet, i don't think. x__X;;; So Owen will just be all stalkerish and creepy for awhile! ))

Richard Owen, bird genius, was out among the plebeian masses. He wasn't looking for inspiration, no, he'd already found that. A young lad with the most intricate mechanical arm and somehow the cursed boy kept evading his clutches! He had a passing suspicion that the deer/horse's little companion, the mousy looking thing, was somehow aware of his interest in the winged Josiggy and thus was making it impossible for Owen to entice the boy back to his lab. Heaven knew it shouldn't have been difficult! The boy obviously had the attention span of a maggot and that made Owen all the more curious as to how he got such an amazing arm!

No, it couldn't be the girl. Thing. Child. Wotever it was. Because, after all, it /was/ only a child. It couldn't keep up with him.

Someone yelling near his ear caused the Corvie to twitch angrily and whirl to give the Highlander a piece of his mind when his gaze continued on to the same Midori the other bird was speaking to. The sparrow stopped dead in the middle of the sidewalk, unaware that he was blocking people's way (not that he would have cared if he'd noticed). She. . . she was perfect. He needed her. He could give her the BEST WINGS IN THE WORLD.
