Kai looked at florence. "Yes I'm looking for any books on Lunar Shadows." He explained. Makatza sneaked away while he was talking to find other familiars

(Yikes, sorry for disappearing)

“Y-You want me to stay?” Marcus stammered, staring wide-eyed at the girl. He couldn’t help but fiddle with the ends of his scarf, thinking it strange anyone would want him around to study him

“Heck ya, dude! My name is Chelsea, by the way. What’s yours?” Chelsea blurted, already pulling devices to take Marcus’ pulse, brainwaves, and 7 types of magic output from her bag.

From the top of the bookshelf he was on, Lau peered down at the fox as it padded around the store. First fish and now a fox? He thought, casting a brief glance at Florence who was directing a black haired boy to a wall of books with spines lettered in silver or gold ink.
"That wall over there has books on astrology. Lunar shadows though, those should be on the left." Florence said, scanning the ground for Lau.

“Uh…Marcus?” the boy answered, eyeing each new tool Chelsea produced with growing worry and concern. Xolo, sensing his nervousness, poked his feathered head up out of his coat pocket, tongue flicking out curiously

"Downpour! Tsunami! Let's go, stop pestering that poor cat!" Quince grabbed his now paid for book and gave a quick goodbye.

Oh! Coming, young Quince! Tsunami gave Bamboo a light tap on the head with her tail, See you later, lovely!

Ah, what adventures await us? Downpour wondered aloud, A FOX!

"W-what, what does that have anything to do with adventure?" Quince questioned, while Tsunami looked confused as well. Then he noticed an adorable looking fox trotting about the store, "How cute!"

“Oh, is that your familiar?” Chelsea asked. “This is Flip. He’s terrible and I love him.” She gestured to a floating purple bubble that seemed to be muttering to itself.

“So,” she said, laying all her tools out in front of her, “do you consent to a routine magic analysis?”

"Uh…Sure?" Marcus said, still rather nervous but doing his best to play it cool. Xolo had now twined his way up Marcus' arm, slithering up to rest coiled around his neck and shoulders. The snake looked at the bubble curiously, tongue flicking out and feathers bristling and flattening curiously

Kai nodded his thanks and looked around for his book

Makatza looked for new friends. She felt a pair of eyes on her and turned around to see two fish and a human "just my luck, lunch!" she teased

Someone with a fox familiar whose looking for books on lunar shadows. Florence thought, taking a few steps to the side as Lau jumped down onto her shoulder. "You're going to give me a heart attack," Florence said, putting a hand on the shelf that Lau had dropped off of for balance. A few moments later, Lau began chattering in Florence's ear about how Bamboo had been going over the top again when customers came to be checked out.
Returning the small wave, Sariel sat down on a stool behind the counter to wait for more people. Bamboo was still sitting on the counter with his chest puffed out and with his head up. "Oh, the insult; to have the weasel as a friend! Such a fluffy little nuisance giving our dear Florence anxiety."
"You're too dramatic," Sariel replied, staring down at the space under the counter top.

Chelsea clapped her hands like an excited baby seal. “Yay! So could you place your hand here?”

The fish grew three times in size to show their authority and Quince sighed, "Oh please don't eat them, little one! They're very poisonous you know!" He smiled.

*Oh yes, yes, to eat us would be a severe tragedy! You'd die, we'd die and our owners would be absolutely devasted! You wouldn't want to do something like that now would you?" Downpour ranted getting close to the fox.

Nevermind that! What might your name be, my dear? Tsunami questioned pushing Downpour aside.

"you I would be happy to eat." Makatza said to Downpour. She turned to Tsunami "I am known as Makatza. It means untamed or wild. My wizard sometimes calls me Kat." she smiled, her canines showing.

Nice to meet you Makatza Tsunami exclaimed giving a small bow of her head, Downpour did the same though he looked annoyed.

Quince bent down after putting his book in his satchel and held his arms out to Makatza, "Can I pick you up, Kat? Where might your owner be?" He gave a quick glance around.

Marcus just nodded, gently putting his hand where he was asked, the other idly stroking Xolo while the snake began leaning towards the bubble, trying to see whether or not it was lickable

Kat nodded her head and walked closer to Quince. "my wizard is—" she was cut off by a messy haired wizard approaching the small group.

"Makatza where did you disappear to?" He exclaimed, not noticing she was in someone else's arms.

This must be the owner! Tsunami called as she and Downpour circled the man.

Yes. yes, I bet you two have an extremely strong bond! Downpour exclaimed.

"Hello! This must be your fox, correct?" Quince asked. standing up.

Kaius flinched when he heard another voice and looked up to see a young Male infront of him. He took a step back and nodded "yes, this is Makatza, my devil of a familiar." He growled in her direction. The fox grinned "you love me."

The bond is strong! So very strong! The love for one another is deep! Downpour cooed making vigorous circles around the man.

Tsunami gave a light happy sigh, Very strong indeed!

Quince laughed, "Sorry about these two, they're always like this. Anyways I'm Quince, what's your name?" Quince outstretched his hand to the man and put Makatza down gently.

Don't apologize for us! We did nothing wrong! Downpour protested.

"Kaius, but friends call me Kai. Are these your familiars?" He asked

"Yup! Nice to meet you Kai!" Quince smiled, "This is Downpour and Tsunami." He pointed to the fish who were talking to each other.

"Interesting. They are beautiful. Although this one has an attitude. Kat was probably arguing with him." He said, letting a small smile escape.
'Human, you doubt me.' makatza said with a mock wounded look on her face

Chelsea quickly finished her readings with a slightly manic grin on her face.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you! No one ever really seems interested in my… you could call it an ongoing project. Thanks for listening to me go all magic-crazy.”

Quince laughed and stroked Downpour's head, "Yeah he tends to argue and fantasize a bit too much."

How rude! Downpour spluttered, I was just stating the truth and nothing less than it!

Tsunami just shook her head and sighed, "Calm down Downpour*

Marcus smiled a little at that. "It's alright, I don't mind it. Though I do think I know why my magic offput your readings as much as they did, if you want to hear it," he said, shrugging a little while Xolo occupied himself trying to nibble on the bubble
