Falconry day! Falconry day!

[sharpasafawkes]

[today on one of the more open areas there's a helpful set of pamphlets, clearly made for kids about the ~wonders of falconry~ perches for the birds, species info and all sorts of fun facts!

...now only if the birds themselves didn't look so annoyed.]

sounds pretty standard for the bird station at the zoo.

[most normal of conversations WITH A BIRD]

[noooot even gonna touch that]

[misswexler]

Just wondering. Older kids can usually recognize condescension, even if they can't spell it.

Even the younger ones would have been able to pick up on it from the way Shaun was reading it.

[completely given up on gloves! kind of checking him out now, as discreetly as possible considering it's a human being trapped in the body of a bird, but nonetheless cool. being a city girl, this is a new experience.]

*actually rather used to being looked at, so he doesn't mind*

My name is Cesare.

Caroline. [smile, headtilt] Caroline Wexler. [this is actually pretty cool]

*if he were human, this would be one of those half-pretentious half-maganimous hand waves he does*

Cesare Borgia. When did you arrive in Camp?

[misswexler]

Uh...like, yesterday.

[x_autnihil]

*you and that other guy...*

Have you found shelter?

[misswexler]

I'm staying at an inn now. Sawa Rakan [she's a little careful on the name, like it's unfamiliar] put me up.

[x_autnihil]

I see. Good. The weather is getting colder.

[misswexler]

And I didn't really pack for chilly. What do we do for clothes around here, anyway?

[x_autnihil]

There is a general store that may have what you are looking for and a few people with the ability to make clothes themselves. Try the store first. Ask there if they can point you in the right direction if you need anything else.

[misswexler]

So we've basically got our own little town set up, hunh. [small pause before the 'we.'] Is that because of or despite Camp.

[x_autnihil]

Both. The way this place is set up encourages this organization, but it is not the most conducive to full formation. There is no moneyed economy, for example--everything relies on trade or bartering. And it is difficult to get any proper government or justice system set up since people come and go so quickly, not to mention the vast variety of cultures that would have to agree upon a single code of law.
