Speaking of which, ...ew. Stick insects and green flies? Lexi was glad she hadn't been born an owl. She'd starve to death! She made a slight face at a jar of flies just before glancing up a few shelves. Oh! Owl pellets---those seemed normal enough. That's what Apollo would get, too---a nice packet of non-disgusting owl pellets.
Cameron didn't particularly like Owls or any sort of animal for that matter. She'd had a cat once and when her Percy had died she'd sort of built up an unconscious loathing for animals. They pecked you, bit you, stalked you and.. they were just creepy. So she was in here only to buy treats. The school owls were a LOT more obliging when you handed them a treat before you asked them to do anything. Some of them were a little on the pudgy side and practically needed to get pushed out of the window.
She wove her way through the store, keeping her head down. The faster she got in and out the better. The owls were looking at her creepily. She made her way towards the treats section and saw her Charms Professor. Er.. awkward. Professors seen in the DA. Perhaps she'd ask about that piece of homework that had elusively disappeared.. erm..
"Haaaaiii Professor.." Cameron greeted in what she hoped was a bright voice. Perhaps she could distract her and just grab them and run?
That wouldn't be weird.. right?
