Oh! They nearly jump out of their feathers when the feline in the store called out to them. They let out quite the undignified squeak, in fact.
Sufficiently ruffled and a little unnerved, Perscilla turned their eyes to the shop keeper proper … Before bowing their head and hurrying inside. The Metro got awfully cold in winter, despite being under ground, and Persci did not have the feathers to handle such chill.
“Yes, thank you. Sorry, sorry. Shiny things catch eye, but not enough money to buy. Is rude to window shop, yes… Many, many apologies.”
The sound of their voice and their verbal tics caught her attention quite firmly, her ears perked in the much smaller creature’s direction. Though the large feline was polite in her movements, the graceful fluidity, her unwavering eyecontact and the notable silence where other creature’s footsteps would resound left a heavy atmosphere.
“Hmhm. Of course, there’s no need to make a purchase right away, dear customer. Welcome to La Felin… The sight of my collection surely should warm anyone…”
She turned her back after closing the door as her upper paws gestured to the shimmering gemstones that adorned the mirror-like sheen of sterlings, golds, silvers, proudly displayed in each glass box.
“We pride ourselves on our diverse selection, some of which are even sourced from overseas… I suppose that isn’t unlike our humble city, no?”
Her smile is audible as she continues her short walk towards the counter in the back.
“I’d ask if you were visiting, but I’m certain I’ve had the pleasure of seeing you pass our streets more than once…”
Clearly, they lived relatively closeby.
“Pray tell, what do you do?”
