Perhaps that's what's bothering him? That he would ask someone else to look after it?

Deep in his thoughts, Yoji didn't notice he attracted company. Startled, the tiny Japanese boy gave an automatic bow of his head and took a step aside to get out of the older girl's way. Wait, was he in the way? Oh, maybe she is the shopkeeper? Probably! "A-ano..." Yoji reached for the back of his head, forcing his brain to switch his language to English. "I don't know yet, it is... ano... a bit expensive," he said looking back at the owl. "Would you know if fish owls are good for international travels, misu?"

Desiree watched, slightly taken aback by the younger boy’s reaction to her presence. Poor kid! She didn’t mean to startle him! She had to admit he had excellent manners, though. The head bowing got a warm smile. How very princely!

She considered the boy’s question carefully. Her experience with owls was limited to the Hogwarts owls and her brother’s pet. She knew Adam’s owl was fine for international travel. It made the journey to and from France many times, but he had an elf owl, not a fish owl. She would think that fish owls were good for international travel too. If they were allowed at Hogwarts, it stood to reason that they’d be used to deliver mail, and she doubted this shop would sell a kind of owl that wasn’t allowed at Hogwarts. Wait, was that even a thing? She’d never heard a rule that you could only bring certain kinds of owls.

“Sorry, I don’t work here,” she replied with a shrug. “I think they are, but I don’t know for sure. Would you like me to ask a shopkeeper for you?” She needed to find one anyway so she could ask her questions about treats.

“I’m Desiree, by the way. Desiree Marchand. What’s your name?”
