Don't post unless you're Glass Crow or Rabid Ice Weasel. Really.

Björn sat under a tree in the back yard, grimacing down at his bloodstained shirt and trembling with cold. The damn thing barely covered him any more and, damnit, it was still stained! Oh, bloody corpses.

"Heya, Björn. Whatcha doin'?"
Crow, for some reason known only to her, had been sitting in the tree. Well, not so much sitting as hanging off one of the lower limbs upside down, her legs wrapped around it as all the blood rushed to her head and she tried to keep her skirt from falling across her face. She knuckled on eye awkwardly, blinking away an unlikely splatter of tree sap.

Björn looked up and smiled.
"Err...admiring my midriff, as it were."

Crow nodded, still rubbing tree sap out of her eye. Without even thinking about it, she let herself fall out of the tree and landed on her back with a small 'oof!'. Sitting up, she curled up against the tree beside Björn and examined the ruins of his shirt.
"Hmm. We should go shopping," she said, eyeing the shirt speculatively.

"I concur," Björn said simply, ruffling Crow's hair.
"That does, however, involve traveling to Mei-Vaar. Not a happy place."

Making herself comfortable leaning against Björn, Crow made her 'thinking face'. Which basically constituted scrunching up her nose and glaring at the ground like she was trying to shoot laser beams of death out of her eyes.
"Anyone tries anything, I'll beat 'em up for you," she said, completely serious.

"Alright," Björn smiled slightly and rubbed Crow's hair with the back of a finger, "Let me get the small, speechless one."

Crow gave the sparest of giggles, and settled patiently against the tree.
"Okay then," she said, knuckling her sapped-eye. "We'll have the most awesome shopping trip thing ever. I'll even buy a llama, because it'll be that awesome."

"Mei-Vaar doesn't have llamas," Björn relayed as he stood, heading back for the house, "Sorry to disappoint."

Later
Crow had been plotting to get a llama just because it would upset Julian - an unfortunate encounter that had once left him with a few wads of spit on his face had made the rest of the family laugh hysterically for days - but in the face of this disappointment she took comfort in deciding to buy unnecessary clothes and trinkets instead.
"I'm totally buying a Vavvian muu-muu," she said, nodding resolutely. "Dunno what I'd even do with it. But I'm gonna get one if they got them."

Björn snorted.
"The best you'll find is over-sized dresses. We have no beaches or old people, why would we have muu-muus?" At the moment, Hellis was rifling through his piggy bank.

"Because muu-muus are the epitome of all that is good and awesome in the universe," Crow said, laughing. "So, I give you the inevitable question in reply, why don't you have muu-muus. It makes no sense at all."
Seeming warm on the topic, Hellis and Björn were only spared further defense of the muu-muu when Crow found a coin in her ********, I had a nickel?" she pondered, shining the coin on her shirt and looking well-pleased with herself.

"Great," Björn snorted, "That's only worth nothing where we're goin'. Save it for somethin' nice...like a a fifth of a gumball."

Crow gave a grin and stuffed the nickel back into her pocket.
"I wouldn't waste it on something so frivolous," she said primly. "I'd buy a fifth of a Swedish fish. Far more mature investment."
