><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>

><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>
"Sure," said Cyrus. "Go ahead. He's a Scops Owl. Not a native species."<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>Inside the cage was a small, mottled-brown owl.<br><br></div>
<div class="Ih2E3d">[OOC: He looks like this:<br><<a href="http://www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/Migration_Studies/ScopsOwl30thJuly.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/Migration_Studies/ScopsOwl30thJuly.jpg</a>>]<br>
<br>"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.<br>
<br> <br><br>Amber grasped her stomach. In her excitement and hurry, she forgot all about breakfast and lunch for that matter. "Does the trolley bring food? And does it take human money?"</div></blockquote>
<div> </div>
<div>"It'll bring around food alright, and of course it takes 'human' money! Did you mean muggle money, in which case, no, you need wizarding money." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a galleon. "Also, it only serves wizarding food, though you'll like it anyway."<br>
