So, with the rest of his family nearby, the soon-to-be second year roamed the aisles of the apothecary with just as much interest and curiosity he had the summer before. Now that his first year had been completed, Idris had developed an appreciation for potion ingredients having dealt first hand with them.

Though… a few of those ingredients still repulsed him. Like the Puffer fish eyes.

Id shuddered as he came across them, promptly positioned his face in the opposite direction and hurried away. Listen, there was something creepy about the way the eyes seemed to look at and follow him. It was unnerving! But any crisis was averted as he put a safe distance between him and the eyes. Now the list of dwindling ingredients that he had made after taking inventory of his potion kit could be consulted.

Which ingredient should he grab first?

It had been a day of following Mrs. Birch and her terrible brood around Di...Diagon Alley. In the bustling group of six--one the adult and four her bustling clutch of chickies, Rae was the tiny one in the back with a sullen expression on her face and hair as unkempt as the day she'd been plucked off the street. She'd just been told off for the third time that morning and didn't feel at all that she wanted to be included in their little "family outing".

As they walked the aisles, Rae looked on at the ingredients with mild interest. She couldn't read any of the labels and hadn't the first idea what any of them were meant to do. Only a week prior, she'd been a free bird with dirty feet and a wide grin as she scrambled across rooftops with her friends. Her wings had since been clipped and there had been nothing but trouble since.

At some point, the little girl became aware that she'd lost the little group but at the risk of being reprimanded when she was inevitably found...she simply didn't care.

In fact, Rae went out of her way to be further lost, hoping this time would be the time. She would work on finding her way home after the escape. It was the getting away that was most important. Her plan would've worked, too, if she hadn't turned the corner of the aisle as sharply as she had and ended up running into someone in the process.

"....Ow." Rae rubbed at her nose that now hurt from the impact. It took an extra second to realise she'd actually run into someone. "Are you alright?" She didn't need the hassle of someone screaming and alerting the woman to her current location.
