[font=trebuchet ms]Truthfully, Rin herself had to wonder why it was always birds. She knew the most likely reason that Nemhain had taken an avian form (though she preferred not to think about it), but that didn't explain the crow. Though, now that she thought of it, besides Nemhain and the crow... it wasn't like she had birds flying down every time she walked outside in some sort of Snow White-esque tribute from nature. To Lemy, two cases in five months might seem like a lot, but two cases in five years wasn't much.
As Lemy batted at the crow, the crow jumped back a few steps, then cawed indignantly. Rin watched the interaction with a quirked brow, but made no move to defend the crow. "A business partner, if anything," she remarked, twitching her tail. To Videogames, she replied, lifting the quarter into the air with her telekinesis and spinning it, "Yes, it did. Truthfully, I'm not even sure the tea was worth that much."
To Sanzu, she shook her head. "It bought my tea, let it drink in peace," she said, with a small nod to the crow. The crow, in response, leaned down and sipped the last of the tea from the cup- then, with a soft squawk, it took off from the docks, leaving the empty cup behind.
Looking back at Sanzu, Rin continued, "A quarter is... money. You give it to someone in exchange for goods." It was hardly the most worthwhile form of currency, but she wasn't particularly missing the tea anyway. Hearing another squawk from afar, she glanced up to see the crow returning. As it landed on the docks, it presented a metal bottle cap to her.
"I have nothing else for you," she said, with a shrug. Unfazed, the crow set down the bottle cap and glanced between the others, squawking in an attempt at a bartering offer.
