"Hello, "S"<BR>> > > > person." She said to Cyrus.<BR>><BR>> "Hi," said Cyrus, closer to whispering than
speaking.<BR>> He gave them his name and busily stuck his reddening<BR>> face in a book. On the seat next to him was a<BR>> smallish cage with a cover over it.<BR>><BR>> Amber then replied to Kayden, "No she's OK...<BR>> I think. She's never met an rat before, but usually<BR>> when I do I'm supposed to whack it with a broom or my<BR>> Grandmother will scream."<BR>><BR>> Amber reached out toward the rat, "Can I hold him?"<BR>> Kadyn hesitated, then handed Hesetu to her. "I guess.<BR>> His name is Hesetu."<BR>><BR>> Amber held her hands out as Kadyn placed the rodent<BR>> in her palm. She was a little startled by the claws,<BR>> but knew he wasn't hurting her. He was so
small and<BR>> light. How could her grandmother have been scared of<BR>> these little guys? She gave him back. "He's<BR>> brilliant"<BR>><BR>> "Thanks." He placed him back on the seat. Kadyn then<BR>> looked towards the cage next to Cyrus. "What's that?"<BR>><BR>> Cyrus's book lowered far enough for the others to see<BR>> most of his face, which was still a little flushed.<BR>> "It's my owl," he said. "His name's Barnaby."<BR>><BR>> "OOO!" said Amber getting up from her seat<BR>> and sitting next to the cage, "can I see him?" She<BR>> started to lift up the covering of the cage.<BR><BR></DIV></DIV>Inside the cage was a small, mottled-brown owl.</BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"I didn't know their were
owls that small." Kadyn had gotten out one of his school books on potions, and a glass bottle, full of a drink from his parents cafe. He took a swig and asked "Does either of you know when the trolley comes around? I didn't bring any food..." His stomach gurgled, and he took another drink out of the bottle.</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"><SPAN id=""></SPAN> <DIV><BR> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #333333; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Amber grasped her stomach.
