Ruby being a used to be wild cockatoo can be loud and aggressive however she holds her beck for the right times. Someone is gently scratching her? she's sweet as sugar, someone trying to take away her treat and she's nipping and screeching as a warning, and if that doesn't work? Well say goodbye to your top and middle knuckles.

Muriel;

The biggest reason for a familiar swap is the shopping trip. Hunter doesn't mind going shopping without Muriel and only encourages him to go if he's having a good day.

However Ruby doesn't always want to go either. Big crows, lots of noise, not a lot of good perches, lots of birds to fight for treats with and she doesn't like the crows. This means when she does go she either stays with Muriel or Hunter. So it isn't uncommon for Hunter to go alone.

Being a big strong person they don't really need the back up. However, they do spoil Inanna as much as they spoil their own familiars.

With that said Muriel and Ruby get along great when together. Ruby enjoys sitting on Muriel's shoulder and watching him do work or fly around nearby keeping an eye out for other people. Having a call for Hunter, Asra, Inanna and strangers. The strangers call is split in three, unknown call for people without obvious motives, help call for those who are injured or lost and the rarest one a danger one where the people are clearly out for blood most likely animal blood (aka hunters).

As for Inanna and Hunter they get along just as great. What's better than one 'leave me alone face?' that and a large wolf. While they don't look for trouble Inanna knows if something is going down at the market it isn't hard for her to get Hunter to do something about it depending on what it is and if innocent people are getting hurt. However, luckily for their shopping trips together most of the time nothing happens and they end up having a treat on the way back with Hunter having a treat for Muriel in with the shopping (usually eels).

Julian;

As for them having two birds the biggest reason for a familiar swap is when the familiars themselves decide to swap.

For examples when Malak doesn't feel like flying around keeping an eye on Julian, Ruby will follow Julian. Usually at a distance at first but then usually landing on Julian startling him since when he goes to shoo Malak and seeing ruby instead is always a surprise. Since they are similar size and both jet black.

While it's hard for Malak to confuse Hunter it doesn't stop him from mimicking Ruby and trying to trick Hunter into thinking Ruby had decided to stay at home. While it mostly fails it does occasionally work while Hunter doesn't usually jump they do get a small flinch when their expecting red and black and not just solid black.

Portia;

While usually familiar swaps don't happen, however when their in Vesuvia Hunter does a lot of quick jobs usually unloading boats or just general physical labor.

During these days Ruby usually follows Hunter from the sky keeping an eye on Hunter and making sure nothing happens and if something does happen she can get back up. However, sometimes when she's tired or doesn't want to fly long distances she'll join Portia. Helping keep Camio from bugging Portia and doing Pepi's job of shooing him away. Being a lot more dominate than a was always pet bird.

As for Pepi when Ruby hangs around Portia for the day she tends to join Hunter. Jumping onto their shoulders as their leaving and during jobs will run around Hunter. When she's too much in the way Hunter will scoop her up and put her on their shoulders.

Kyle;

Kyle also has two familiars a kea named Kai and a dragon named Emerald. So their both open for familiar swaps.

Kai being a kea is a loud and a smart parrot is a trouble maker. She will make trouble over food, her play items and can be a big brat.

Emerald is a sweet and gentle soul but being a feathery dragon often gets mixed up for someone that could kill without trying. While she is the height of Portia on all 4's (aka big) she is actually a mostly gentle soul. Being a big puppy at heart.

With that said to keep on time I'm going to assume Emerald is the familiar for this swap and you'll see why.

Asra;

They surprisingly have probably the most familiar swaps. This is due to Kyle getting up much earlier to do shopping before the shop opens. While he doesn't mind going by himself Faust will occasionally sleepily join especially in winter. As in winter Kyle's clothes have a magic signina that makes his clothes warm much to Faust's enjoyment.

This leads to Asra waking up to Faust and Kyle gone but not usually for long and a big fluffy dragon in Kyle's spot in the bed. Usually this leads to one of two things, Asra getting up and getting started on tea for when Kyle returns soon or staying in bed. If they choice to stay in bed Emerald will usually lay her head on top of Asra's chest and enjoy extra cuddles before moving when Kyle returns to let Kyle join the bed cuddles before they ahve to get up.

Aside from that a much less often reason for a familiar swap is sometimes when Asra is heading to a colder area or during winter Faust will stay home where it's nice and warm. While Emerald who has a thick layer of feathers to help with the cold would join Asra. While Asra and Kyle can communicate to each other it's still funny to hear what the familiars think are important. Like that time Emerald used the link to call Kyle to hype about snow for a solid half hour while Asra got to watch Emerald run around them biting at the falling snow and rolling around.

Nadia;

They have the least reason to swap familiars so the reason for a familiar swap is usually only one of two reasons.

1. Kyle is going on a trip that Nadia can't join. This isn't often but Kyle loves to go on what he has dubbed the Blueberry run. (long story and I'm rushing it but basically a two-three week long trip where he ends up with a bunch of blueberries when he's done.) During this Chandra will join Kyle to help him and Nadia keep in contact and because it gives her the chance to hunt in areas outside Vesuvia's city/the garden. She once eat a stoat it was awesome.

2. Nadia has someone she want's to intimated even more than her own overly intimidating presence does. Well then she knows someone who has a full blown dragon. While Emerald is a big puppy people who don't know her don't know that so it can look like Nadia is just vibing with a Portia sized lizard. It especially helps when they don't know Emerald can't breath fire and the fact Emerald knows exactly how to post next to Nadia to appear as tame as an unchained lion. Being able to pull off some rather regal poses, some of which she knew how to do intuitively and others she had Nadia teach her.

Bluebell;

Bluebell has a house sparrow called Chirps. Chirps is a house sparrow small and quick but honestly one strong hit and she's gone down. (fun fact Chirps is trans. Going by she/her while having the male patterns.)
