Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anao was not entirely sure how she'd been roped into taking Wren to the pet store. Certainly they were loosely related and she'd wanted to go anyways to look at things but the redhead didn't recall volunteering to take him. Not that she disliked her sort of cousin or found his company irritating but well little kids were supposed to be notoriously bad in pet stores. She'd only planned only quickly doing a price check for some things but she had a feeling this trip was going to end up longer than that if Wren caught sight of some animal or another he had to check out.

Wren himself was quietly tagging along after Anao the young songbird excited but containing it mostly in his eyes and quivering wings. He wanted to get treats for mac so he could help train him. The purple Mac'baht would be going with Tezza to school some days but other;s he'd be home and Wren was curious to try his luck at making the strange creature behave.

Added to that was the fact that the small brunet wanted to see some normals animals as well. Most of the ones on the CDL grounds were special creatures and as neat as they were something in the tribal marked boy wanted to see more natural creatures.

His feathers ruffled a bit and he gave a small chirrup as they entered the store. There were so many animals he thought as his eyes went wide. So many things tugged at his attention.

Anao resisted the urge to laugh at the man beside her, she'd been just like the little girl who was with him once. Chances were the tiny winged child had a response for every argument he had towards not getting a dog. Not that that meant Nellie would win, at least not if her father stood firm in his decisions. The adult always got final say regardless of if he won the argument. Although this man looked like he was having a hard time standing his ground.

The redhead looked down at the little girl and smiled softly. " You know puppies are a lot of work and greyhounds are a very special type. Even if you walked it everyday the puppy would need a lot more exercise than that or it'd get sick and angry and bite people." Anao had wanted a greyhound once, a bit of a speed demon herself she'd dreamed of biking alongside one for exercise and racing each other for fun. She'd learned though they they needed an average of two hours of exercise everyday and when she;d been younger she just didn't have two hours to devote to that.

"Soon you'll probably be big enough for school and you won't have time for a puppys" she added. Sometimes you needed to do more than just say no, you had to repeat logical facts until a kid realized they couldn't keep arguing. At least that had worked with her and Owen growing up.

Wren slid over to investigate the dog in question. Green eyes peered down at the skinny funny looking puppy " He's smaller than Mac" the songbird was a bit surprised. Although technically the puppy wasn't physically smaller than the macbaht Wren could see that the greyhound's stomach was smaller in proportion to his body than Mac's was.

The green eyed songbird remained calm at Nellie's outburst and then smiled at the mention of fish. " I know about fish" They didn't have any but he knew a bit about them " and Nero is a fish boy." Not that the silver lipped girl knew his friend but still Wren felt required to mention him. " You can't hold fish but you can teach them tricks." It was strange to think things that were so small should learn anything but some of them could learn to do really neat stuff.

Anao was immune to the other girl's tears, she'd done the crying thing herself as a kid and she still had younger siblings who did it as well, over time it's effect wore off on you. Still the little girl seemed earnest in her desire for a pet. A fish at least was easy to take care off as long as it wasn't the salt water kind. "Fish are neat" she agreed " Especially algae eater who suck spend the whole day sucking on the tank keeping it clean." The young woman had always found them to be kinda of weird but also cool at the same time. Their lives had to be so boring though.

Wren followed the excitable girl at a more subdued pace. There were always lots of fish in tanks and not a lot of people looked at them too long so there was no need to rush. That and the young boy didn't want to risk hitting the glass tanks and splashing himself or possibly breaking them if he couldn't stop running in time.

" What kind of fish do you want?" Wren asked as he caught up with Nelly in the tank section. The fish filled aquariums lined the walls. A massive array of brightly coloured finned creatures were on displays some paying attention to the children and others ignoring them completely.

Anao rolled her eyes and the young woman moved to follow Nellie and Wren, honestly this man might only be capable of handling a fish in his house.

There's a lot" Wren agreed, far too many to count for the young boy. "Fish like to live together so you should get some so they aren't lonely." How sad would be to live in a small tank all alone. Wren supposed it would be coo to have a bubble machine and coloured rocks and your own little castle in there but he'd much rather have friends.

" I don't know how you should pick," he admitted with a small flutter of his wings. " Maybe the ones that have the same colours as your room?" The young songbird knew little about fashion and colour co-ordinating but he knew most people tried to match things together, why not fish.
