Ersilia S Branwen's Story

Kept that feather brow furrowed. "Why not? You understand my bones ache? After all I am old...but still I can't complain...I mean I can get a bath so I'm not complain....Hm...you are somewhat...nicer then other hunters...um...okay!" She seemed quite happy that he actually said her name! However he...wait tied a string to a spoon and then around her arm? She seemed to be...confused....now?

Ersilia S Branwen's PortraitKept that feather brow furrowed. "Why not? You understand my bones ache? After all I am old...but still I can't complain...I mean I can get a bath so I'm not complain....Hm...you are somewhat...nicer then other hunters...um...okay!" She seemed quite happy that he actually said her name! However he...wait tied a string to a spoon and then around her arm? She seemed to be...confused....now?

Blinked. Then looked toward the spoon. Seeming to be quite the curious little bird now. She did take the seat though right? "Wait...are you certain...I am thirty five....hm..whats with the string...?"

Bowed up. Her tuff of feathers flaring in a colorful display as he grabbed her arm which thus caused her feathery brow. "Hey Hey gentle! I kind of know I don't have fingers...Hey! That's why I have special utensils back at home! And what's wrong with complaining...? That's..not...very...nice...." Her eyes would narrow into a glare toward the man, feathers remaining flared as she wasn't pleased with what he was saying? "What if I like being fed...? Hm....? I don't want to break my claws trying to grip a spoon even if you made it easier..." Puff, her face puffed up in a pout it seemed, she was spoiled.

Kept those feather brows in a furrow it seemed. "Fine Fine...hm but you better respect me back or I'm kicking you in the crotch! I clearly see that however, and I do that you for that...hmph you be grateful to be in the presence of such a gorgeous and rare Species such as myself! Hm..." She would try to wrap those hooks around the spoon at an attempt at eating to say the least, she was just being stubborn she didn't want to be broken dang it! "Thank you for the food.."

Blinked. The Cockatoo's feathery turf upon the base of her head seeming to raise slowly as it seemed something was peeking at her from behind the seat of a table? Possibly the seat at a booth, heavens hiding behind a Chair was difficult enough seeing the lower base of it was missing and chairs here where small! However the Cockatoo did raise a brow. Talon like feet moving again, taking against the floor as the Harpy slowly moved toward the booth the from her perspective for the moment 'girl'? Occupied. But was this Harpy going to be in for a pleasant surprise- rather then some awkward human girl or even boy.

There was a Young Harpy sitting in the booth! Staring at the grains of the table? Odd Child. "Oh...what do we got here? What is a Child doing here unsupervised...What nerve! How could a parent leave- well." The Harpy would tilt her head upward as to think? Blinking bewildered as the Harpy remembered...here their species was near extinct! "Child! Harpy Child!? What..how...what...come here you." The Harpy would force herself into the boot just to look closer at the Little One? "Do you have parents? And if so why would they leave you here all by yourself...just a child..alone in such a horrid place..." A Human child she would of attacked upright..she hated human children! But a Harpy Child, different story.

Raised a feathery brow at the Small One finally made eye contact, the Harpy felt that motherly spark kick into over drive. Now she knew what her adoptive Father felt when she found her! She was just a tiny turf of feathers, hissing and attempting to defend itself against a giant of a human being, hiding under the couch and being coaxed out with potato chips! "Yes I'll get you dinner, a Branwen never lie" Which was true, nothing but the truth which could hurt would come from the Cockatoo's mouth, hell the Harpy small those arm like wings into the table. "I Demand who ever works here to get this child whatever she wants! NOW" The Harpy shrieking again before looking back over toward the Chick.

"Lucifer? You couldn't mean the Devil could you? Well I'll change all of that! Eat as much as you want when you want! You're coming home with me Missy, I'll have you spruced up and fed properly." The Harpy would nod firmly at this. However those feather brows would furrow. "So much? That means they still do! Which isn't an acceptation! Wait..live..near...no no no...none of that, you're coming with me...you'll get PROPER living quarters, and a shower!" Oh How this Harpy loved showers, got the access feathers off, and it was refreshing! Even if the Child was bragging, a Mother Hen would have no such thing, no maybe when she was older and able to live on her own but at this age?

The Harpy was amused by this, such enthusiasm in the little one reminded her of her youthful days, such a spitfire. "Yep! Whatever you want, breads, meats, soda and CANDY!" Yes and Candy, she'd pamper the little Chick until she was enthralled in it, thankfully Harpies could pass gas! As that be bad if they couldn't like most birds, be a dead bird? "Oh your...Sponsor? What sort of....I'll be sure to kick that Mans ass! What was he doing to you? Probably evil things, Men are no good most of the time, except for father! He's a good Man." Now very old but still a very good Man, Rich as fuck? What he got for poaching before it become a crime as it was! Or before people did much about it? "Yes. A Shower! Oh yes I shall, you will be staying with me from now on, you will legally become a Branwen!" Yes, legally she will legally adopt this child with a binding parental contract? "Oh I'm quite serious! That isn't even the tip of the ice berg..now tell me your name little one, I'm Ersilia." The Harpy was smiling for once, the Chick was just so..happy? It was too adorable, Ersilia always wanted children anyhow!

"A Bed too! And a family, you'll have a Uncle and I'll be your Mumma!" She wanted to hug the little bugger, which was obvious, the uncle was her most Loyal Body Guard, Man accepted less then half the actual pay, possibly do to being there when she was young as she was before? Who knows!

Oh that was it! The Harpy wouldn't help but latch onto the tiny Child like a Mother hugging her kid? "Yes Candy! You'll get candy any time your a good girl! And it can be any kind you want- wait you race...? Oh No No! We can't have that! You're too young, you could get hurt..or worse! But try to avoid...nice old people in these parts..." Because the candy would be drugged around here? "Either way! No going near him okay? Making Deals with a Kid....and..signing- that's illegal! You aren't old enough, you need porential consent, oh I'm going to kick that mads...butt! I'll help you learn you lessons, any kind you want! No signing contracts." Yes she could learn to play the Piano..sing whatever! "Yep, a Last name too, you will be a Branwen, Beibhinn Branwen." Yes. This Chick was properly of Ersilia! Anyone dare touch her would loose their hand.

"Yes! Yes I will!" However she would pause for a moment, yes she was hugging the Harpy like a Harpy hugs its chick? "You will now, and we can do family things, go out, take you shopping, go on trips! I can even get you pretty dresses~! Oh and flying! I haven't done that in so long." Which was true, she had no reason to fly before. However Childish innocence is what this old bird needed, you rarely see that around here, except for....Cheese who was simply just an idiot.

Yes. No racing was permitted, not until she was older? "Yes. Consent, wait I thought your Coach was...well she should of knew better! To train a child..to race when its for adults! Your wings are still so fragile. Hm...I haven't flown in years, no reason to do so until now...Draconian....?" The Harpy would flutter her eyes, furrowing her feathery brow as the Child seemed to love flying now, she couldn't take that away from her! But she'd have to get her into something safer, more legal and less dangerous, back then there was racing for Hatchlings..but the species has dwindled since the glassing. "Fine you can fly still but you cannot race in the race's you've been in, something more safer...don't want you to get hurt....oh! Yes dresses! And pretty clothing too! More comfortable things then training gear...no no their not, their soft!" The Harpy would seem to beam at the little chick, lord she was adorable, so energetic- sad the energy never lasts when they get older, get crabby? "Oh yes we could fly there! Oh anywhere really, around the world if you like! To California, Florida- just....not cold places..and your sponsor is full of...garbage its more dangerous here then anywhere else! This..world..is very dangerous..well City." Earth was nicer? Not as high tech and people stopped caring about species SO long ago, thank Terra for that. ANYWAY.

Remain clung to the Child, the Harpy didn't want to let go, not that she found what she always wanted in her dull existence! That's all Ersilia wanted was a kid, one she could raise and be looked up by- to be a mother? "I'll kick his rump...you don't belong to him, you're my Kid! No one touches my baby...hm.." Protective now was she? Well obviously, now that she had a child why would she give it up? Not ever! "Good! I will get you lots of pretty dresses! Especially ones that won't cover up your pretty feathers now hm? Oh and hats! Necklaces too, even ones that play music when you open them up!" The Harpy would beam down at the Child as she seemed enthusiastic again, now she needed to order the Chic food! "Hm...not as nice as Warm! We could actually, we could catch some delicious fish! Oh it is it is, it has shells that sparkle like diamonds! And Cute Turtles! That Swim!" However when the Harpy called her Mumma the Cockatoo wanted to cry, yes the cold hearted bitch quoted by people who had met her wanted to cry. "Yes! You can call me Mumma, cause I am your Mumma! Now lets get you some food!"

It seemed Ersilia was forced to return to the Business District once again, originally her Father had taken Ersilia here as a chick- though her Father didn't need protection from any sort of trickery as the Man could easily handle himself. However in Ersilia's case she was a Harpy, not some Kick Ass Australian who could kill a Man just by glaring at him! No No.

Ersilia was given a few 'Armed' Guards, well by a few there was six- all in Odd White Suits baring her Fathers Crest, which consisted of snake being squired by a sword which is piercing a shield- and then George a very big bald Man in black who was standing by her side! So...Men in Suits of Armor and a Man in black?

Ersilia would merely take side with Beibhinn, gently holding the small Harpy close to try and keep her calm. "Sh...it will be fine, trust me..Momma won't let anything happen to her baby!" Which was true, she would never let anything happen to this child she assured herself of that. However now they had to meet at the fountain- though the Armed Guards/Knights of swords started to form a defensive half circle...while good old George who needs to be made into a character remained by her side while she kept a good grip on the small Harpy?

Scoffed. Ersilia wasn't strong but she wasn't dumb either! Unlike Cheese who was an utter idiot and couldn't say words correctly? Why was the Man laughing, she clearly had numbers on her side..and a Highly Skilled Warg! Anyway she was going to be..or try to be witty about this as best as possible. "Oh really now, says the bastard who thinks he's a Legitimate Business Man, you're dumber then I've given you credit for." She would however remain defensive over the child it seemed, George remaining calm in all this as well as the Guard it seemed. "Try anything and I'll assure you that you won't be walking away from this." It was a warning, Ersilia didn't want pointless bloodshed.

"Government Signed? Ha you mean FORGED you dip shit, I doubt it was even SIGNED in Terra so its absolutely worthless and far from legitimate. And AGE IS an issue as you can't force someone underage to sign a contract with MY consent, even then I'm already having paper work done toward taking this child into the Branwen family. We don't take lightly to people like you." She would seem to glare at the Man something fierce now, stroking the little girls head and cooing down at her? "Shut yer yap, I haven't heard a single intellectual thing come out of that shit hole you call a mouth even once yet. You Pedophile. Now I think we should take our leave, try your contract bullshit in place where it means something, like trying to spend foreign money at a Drug Store..." Which they wouldn't accept? However it seemed the Chick hid behind Ersilia, half peeking out to look at Lucifer before returning her gaze to the floor. "Sh...its alright, Mumma will protect you she promises, his contract doesn't mean anything...I can assure you of that..."

let him rant! Let him rant she'll merely walk off with her Child and those..Armed Men and George! The Man seemed entirely showboat? Stating his name and that he makes the Rules 'there', laughing as well as his Bird it seemed. "Blah Blah Blah, I've heard the whole I can't die...stay dead crap-" Though the..Rain of Bullets, the 'Knights' Formed a Full Circle as the Man made an example, lances hoisted to the side and shields readied? Though he was merely making an example? "Oh you do now? Why would you need a Mercenary if what you're doing is Legal, why not Military Official or WCPD? George over here would turn your Mercenaries into confetti. Wait it wasn't a display but an actual attack? Well the Knights formed a Defensive Ring anyway in that case! Lets see bullets get through that armor! Easily? However slits of metal seemed to drop from the Lances? Revealing small holes or groves in the lances themselves? "Just...fire on him....or..them or..?" Eh they'd fire? Gatling Lances for the win! Just...slowly move away with Ersilia and George int he center...like a cake? Ersilia defending the small Chick and trying to calm her down?

However she did look down at her Chick who's face hid in the Woman's side, her attempting to calm the child and do her best as to drown out the gunfire? "He isn't Dear...he's telling you nothing more then lies, I'll personally see to that the truth is known and this mans illegal activities are found out." She didn't wish to believe a city which was so strict on Rules would allow such, no she knew the Government better, they where Tyrants? They didn't take no ones shit! Why they didn't give people warning when doing shit in the Pub they shouldn't be doing, just gun them down? "I will find you something else to..participate it, something we can both enjoy together without having to be in these situations I promise, I won't let anything happen to you."

Glared. Well continued to Glare. "I don't believe you, honestly I do not. I doubt their far from safe, especially see your For Hire is firing down on us with little to no care for this child's safety!" No the Men who are wounded and being fired upon would continue to backup with Ersilia? "I don't care! I won't have you be her Sponsor, and I'll need to see this for myself. And I don't wish to think about that, I'll kill anyone who does harm her or try to!" She would seem to cling to the cling, was Ersilia trembling somewhat from rage and she was honestly upset.

"No No! He isn't Dear, he isn't..no Man who would take such vile actions isn't right, he's just toying with us like some sick bastard. Now Sh we will get out of here, I will find us something to do that won't involve things like this... " She would seem to trail off now, remaining clung to the small Harpy. "No No, I will change that you can eat when you want, you can race if you want but I won't have you going near him again! Never." Nor that Race Track, knowing her luck he'd try something to harm the poor child, she just wanted to get the child out of here maybe get her some ice cream?

The Woman was...stating her mind? Harpies where long lived creatures, first ten years they stay grounded, the next four to five they start learning the basics and their feathers come in! Its not until their an adult when their body is ready to take on flights at high speeds? And the speed she was speaking out..faster then a Draconian was outrageous!

Normally. She wouldn't care when her Chick ate, as long as it remained happy, healthy and under her watchful eye. However, it seemed a guest has arrived, one she wasn't too excited about meeting to be brutally honest like any parent would be. However, before the Chick would gleefully reach the Door old Momma Bird intercepted it like a Mother generally does their child, the Harpy looking down at her child eyes somewhat narrowed. "No you don't Missy, Momma will be sure this..Person is safe before he can enter." She didn't want to say the other tasteless word, or word she found rather tasteless. And its quite obvious the Boy didn't expect the Mother to be the one who would open the door now was he? But yes, the Mother would merely open the Door. It didn't matter how nicely dressed he was, or how preened those feathers would be. That didn't stop old Mother Hen from glaring down at the boy- or up if he so happened to be taller as if he was an enemy? She was merely being protective of her check like a mother is a daughter. "So...you're..the one then hm? Come in, but take your shoes off I had the floor swept earlier." The Woman would cautiously let the guest in? The Cologne only further caused her face to scrunch up.

At-least he took some pride in his appearance and wasn't some slob? Even though his attire even if it was to the best of his ability wasn't up to the Mothers taste, she was certain that he could doubtfully afford when her choice in attire would be- anyway.

The Man better Gulp! The Mother Harpy felt imposing as she stroke fear into the Boys heart, which was funny seeing as she was clearly smaller then the Man or Humanoid. That glare never ceasing as she watched the Man upon entering her...home? It was as if she was ready to rip his insides out if he so motioned to do something she didn't find in her tastes now. "I'm not sure if I can say the same for you yet. But we shall see." She would crush that confidence like ones skull under a giant mallet or anvil. Though, it did seem he was respectful to say the least now. A Snort would follow the Mans..small wave? She didn't like him so far, well she didn't like anyone who was from her perspective taking her daughter away from her?

However. Ersilia did glance back at her chick, who seemed to trill? The Woman's feathery brow furrowing- a grumble rumbling from her throat. "Hm...you best be sure about him. But if my Beibhinn trusts him. I will try...I'll check on the Dinner, you two behave now." The Mother Harpy clearly didn't like the Man and wanted to pamper her child? As in scoop her up, let the chick gorge herself and sit down to watch TV with her with snuggles! But she'd let the Chick be..with..her 'friend' while she went to check on Dinner in the Kitchen, it wouldn't be any type of poultry for obvious reasons.

Had taken the dishes- or bits of meal which where in bowls into the Dining Room, which consisted of a Special Beam, Beef and Rice Dish with Tomato, Peppers, and extra? Then there was some Mash Potatoes, Buttered Carrots, Peas, and some Fish. She wasn't the best cook but she knew how to make a simple meal which was enjoyable! However the Mother Bird would merely return, only after they finished speaking or her Chick had complied to this Boys words..it..seemed they where holding..hands..or er claw and hand- talon and hand? This made the mother Birds feathery brow furrow now. "What did I say now. Dinners ready in the dining room. Let me know what you'd like to drink." Though the hug from earlier even if brief did help settle the mother Birds nerves a bit, but just by a bit now- oh if her Guard and remaining family where here, there would of been torture...real torture? They weren't friendly to strangers!
