Royal Rescue Adoptions

[royalraptor]

The Plaza was quiet.

Was, being the operative word, as the putputput of tiny motorcycle engines preceded the sight of said little bikes being ridden by a small cadre of fluffy, feathery raptors. Most of the motorcycles were hauling wagons, each bearing a load of some manner of animal kennel, and they stopped their little caravan near the fountain. All five raptors hopped from their rides and scurried to work- undoing covers so the little kennels they'd towed were visible, Princess and Clementine busily hanging a sign on the edge of the fountain.

'Roial Rezku Adoptonz'

And sure enough each kennel had different animals inside- the sounds of cats out of one, another full of chirping and fluttering. Another few were quiet, but suddenly the largest kennel had a puppy sitting atop it, a colorful bow on it's collar, tail wagging enthusiastically.

Princess gave the pup an uncertain look but... well it was staying around them, and how could they stop it anyways? So she just left the others to making sure the animals all had their food and water while she waddled towards the nearest person with an excited little 'wook'

"Come see? Come make friends?" That was how adoption worked right? People fell wildly in love with a new friend and took them home! She was So Good at this!

Paul can't help but note the irony of the griffins, the symbol of the Harkonnens who destroyed his own family - but these creatures obviously have nothing to do with his world or House feuding, and so he won't hold anything against them. Still, he gives Princess a small smile. "I'll take one of the owl-looking ones. They're very handsome creatures." They're birds of prey. Paul expects he very well might be able to train them to help him hunt and carry information quickly across the Nexus when need be.

The owls were fairly quiet at the moment, and Princess nodded her agreement. They were very stately animals which she thought suited the young man well. And for Paul's considerations, the one sleepily peering at him definitely looked to have the intelligence to pull off the tasks he was thinking of, watching him with a unconcerned interest.

Tangerine came trotting over when they saw what was going on, a clipboard in feathery little paws being offered over. Thankfully they'd gotten someone to help make the paperwork- just a simple name and contact info, but who even knew how the raptors would have spelled that looking at their sign.

"How many can I take?" A flock of messenger-griffins isn't Paul's most ambitious plan, but it's easy to accomplish and he'll set to training the birds quickly. He's going to be a terror to small animals in the Wilds at this point, between his own skills and his personal pack. For his stately appearance, Paul can be lethal once he sets his mind to it.

He accepts the clipboard, writing down his name and PINpoint information to begin the adoption process. "Paul Muad'Dib Atreides. You can call me Paul." He nods in Princess's direction. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

They seem fairly calm- likely raised by humans to start with so there was that going for Paul's plans. Princess thought, wooking quietly as she guessed on a number that wasn't too restrictive but was fair to the animals. "Two!"

Not so many to overwhelm a new owner, but they'd have companionship too!

"Hi Paul! I'm Princess!" She introduced herself, pleased that she'd already gotten off to a very good start. "Bird names?"

[desertpowered]

"Two is a good deal." Paul nods as he hands Tangerine the clipboard back. He's curious about where these creatures came from, whether imports from another world or some kind of genetic hybrid. "I'll take good care of them both, you have my promise."

It's good that the owls will have friends of their own species.

"I'll have to think about that. I have a few ideas." Paul gives Princess a grin. "Glad I could help you find them homes."

[royalraptor]

"Yes, treat nice, good friends." Princess agreed. She trusted the vibe she got from Paul, that he'd be good to the little owls, give them a nice home.
