Kitty or Kneazle?

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari entered the pet shop, deciding that she needed something either that was a kneazle or part kneazle. They would be good creatures to have for an auror since they detected suspicious people. A baby one would probably be preferable though since she would probably need to train it too.

She browsed through the animals that were there, finding many cats and kittens, along with many other animals. However, the kneazles she found, which were only a few, seemed too hyper for the job. She needed a calmer one.

Hikari continued to look around, there were all kinds of creatures here. One that caught her eye though was a lone kneazle, though it seemed a little different. It was albino! It seemed calm and was aggressive to the store personal trying to feed it at the moment. He eventually gave up and walked away.

Hikari approached the cage with caution. The creature watched her carefully as she watched it the same. She put her hand on the cage, her eyes still locked with the creature's. It cautiously sniffed her, then rubbed its face against her hand.

"My goodness," one of the shopkeepers said. "I'll take this one I think," Hikari said, letting the little creature out of the cage. It was small and a male. He jumped up on her shoulder and sat there, cuddling against her face. "I think I'll call you Keiji," she told him. She continued to look around the store for anything Keiji would need.

Paris walked on the corner of Skeeter Shopping Centre, as she rounded the corner she spotted Pet World, she walked along the store and crossed the street, muggle puppies were in the windows looking so cute. "Awe" she muttered as she found the door and opened it, the door hit the bell and it went, "ding" and slammed closed behind her.

She went over to the puppies, "so cute" she replied as she looked them over, but could she really bring a puppy to a University, a wizarding University? They'd be perfect if she was studying muggles, but she wasn't, she was majoring in Auror Training. She scanned the store, a few people were in here. Out of the corner of her eye so spotted some little things called Pygmy Puff's, they seemed to squeak with joy so she walked over to them and began to look at them. "Aren't you a cute little Puff thing" she replied as she began to pet them.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari looked on as a girl came into the store. It was the girl from the University that walked out of the dormitory suddenly, taking her stuff with her. Perhaps now she can find out more of what happened. The girl had never really said after all and she didn't want to speak with Molly at the moment as it might be more of a touchy subject as she was the one offended it seems.

Making her way over to Paris, that was her name Paris, Hikari saw she was looking at pygmy puffs. Perhaps she was planning to buy a pet, like Hikari was doing. Keiji, who was still n her shoulder, fidgeted a bit, though didn't growl or anything. He must be uncomfortable around strangers. Perhaps she would have to socialize him a bit more.

"Hello Paris," she said as she reached her. Her crimson eyes went from the girl to the little pygmy puffs she was looking at and then back to Paris. "You came here for a pet, I assume," she more stated than asked. She brought a hand and pet Keiji, who still seemed uncomfortable, though still calm. "I plan on buying this kneazle," she said, "and I've named him Keiji. Are you getting a pygmy puff?"

[paris]

Paris looked at the girl, what was her name again? She was at a loss, never really good with names so why say her name at all? She picked up the purple pygmy puff and began to pet it. It seemed to like her since it didn't move around or try to scratch her like her pet was doing.

"Hey" Paris replied. No don't be rude, I've already insulted Molly. But of course I came to the shop to buy a pet. Why else would I come here. Hello. "Yeah I think I'm going to get this purple Pygmy Puff" Paris replied as she held out the pygmy puff more so the girl could see. She already had something with her so she didn't seem on wanting a puff. Oh that's a good name, Puff.

OOC- Pygmy Puff.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari watched as Paris picked up a purple pygmy puff and started to pet it. A pet would probably be good for the both of them to have. Paris turned so she could see the pygmy puff better and said she was thinking about buying it. The little pygmy puff seemed to like her, so that was good.

"It's quite cute," she stated. Keiji seemed curious of the little pygmy puff and leaned forward a bit to look at it closer. He tilted his head to the side curiously as he watched the little puffball. Hikari took Keiji off her shoulder and held him in her arms, his leaning had become uncomfortable for the girl's shoulder. "So what are you going to name it," she asked.

[paris]

"I haven't decided yet" Paris replied. If I told her I'd named it Puff, I'd probably be laughed right out of school. "So what are you going to name your kneazle right" she asked as she looked it over. The little Puff seemed to like the kneazle, maybe they wanted to be friends or maybe it wanted to eat little Puff, well Paris didn't know-she never paid too much attention in Care of Magical Creatures Class.

She held her Puff a little looser and it seemed to enjoy being held by her, she gave the Puff a little smile, something she didn't do often. Finally something who doesn't hate me.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari looked down at Keiji for a moment then back to Paris. "I'm going to name him Keiji," she said. Keiji tried to get a closer look at the pygmy puff and managed to get close enough to sniff it curiously. He blinked a cuddled the little puff with his face. Hikari watched the interaction curiously. Keiji seemed to like the little pygmy puff so far, and didn't seem to have any intentions to harm the little creature.

"It seems Keiji likes your pygmy puff," she stated, looking back to Paris. Keiji looked at Paris cautiously, then to the pygmy puff, then back at Paris. He sniffed at the hand holding the little creature, then as if he was giving his approval he brushed the side of his face against her hand. "And it seems he likes you as well," Hikari said.

[paris]

"That's good" Paris replied, "it would be tough to know little Puff here might get eaten" she said laughing. "Though kneazles are like vegetarians or something" she asked curiously as she looked at the kneazle and tried to determine if it had sharp teeth. She held her Pygmy Puff closer to the Kneazle Keiji.

OOC-Sorry it's short, sneaking online.

[Hikari Sorano]

Kaihi looked at Keiji in her arms. "Actually, kneazles are suppose to be like cats," she said, "however, with any predator, they don't eat unless they are either hungry or they have to and they normally don't attack unless threatened. Don't worry though, Keiji seems to like your pygmy puff too much to eat it and I would keep him well fed anyway."

Keiji cuddled the little puff with the side of his face, even producing something of a pur. It seemed like he was better with socializing with animals then humans by the way he acted with the puff as compared to the shop worker from earlier.

[paris]

"Oh" Paris replied wondering if it really looked like a cat, sort of did so hmmm maybe it's related to a cat or something. She nodded her head still wondering what it ate, cat food? "I wonder what Pygmy Puffs eat" she questioned as she looked at Puff wondering what exactly he or she ate? Maybe meat, or was it a vegetarian?

She glanced at her Puff then the Kneazle, "So" she asked, "what are you majoring in" she questioned wondering if the girl was too majoring in Mazoology, if she was Paris wouldn't laugh, or would try not to anyways.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari watched Paris as she seemed to observe Keiji. "You could always ask the store keeper what pygmy puffs eat," she suggested. Looking at her kneazle, she thought about what it ate. It could breed with cats, so it could probably eat the same thing as cats, though his food may be slightly different. She would have to remember to go get some from the pet food section.

"I'm majoring in Auror Training," she responded to her question. Molly had wanted Auror Training, though she got her second choice of Magizoology. However Hikari managed to get her first choice. "What about you," she asked in return, "what are you majoring in?"

[paris]

"Yeah I wonder where the store owner is" Paris questioned as she wondered what exactly Pygmy Puffs ate? She looked around the room wondering who owned the place, "anyone in here" she asked wondering if she could just take the Pygmy Puff and go since no one would notice it missing. Though would she risk being suspelled from IWU for shoplifting a pet?

"Yeah same, Auror Training for me aswell" Paris replied.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari looked around, though seeing no one at the moment. What happened to the store workers, she had just seen one attempting to feed Keiji when she found the little kneazle. However, she hadn't seen him since. "I know there was a employee here," she said, "he was just feeding the kneazles a little while ago, and not doing a good job, I might add."

Hikari nodded. "Auror Training is a good subject," she said, "though it's a shame Molly didn't make it into Auror Training and got Magizoology instead."

[paris]

She laughed wondering if she should go to the backroom. "Hello" she shouted hoping her voice would echo and the man or store woman would come to the room so she could purchase her pygmy puff. "Not doing a good job" she questioned wondering why? Smoking?

"Yeah" she replied wondering if she had what it takes to be an Auror? "I hope I'll pass the class" she whispered.

[Hikari Sorano]

Hikari waited a moment to see if anyone would show up when Paris called. There was a bit of a crashing sound at the other end of the store. "Uh.. I'll be with you momentarily," a male voice came shortly after the crash. "It seems we might be waiting a while," Hikari said, amusedly.

"I'm sure we'll both do a good job in the class," Hikari said somewhat encouragingly. She wasn't much for encouraging people anyway. "We at least got in the class after all."
