A lanky-winged man approached her and began to chat and help her with the books, which Minerva was graciously thankful for. [color=a187be]“Thank you! That’s kind of you to help. Moving days just get me a bit flustered.”[/color]

Minerva looked at the tall, avian fellow, admiring his wings. She’d met many a harpy in Linkhaven, but she’d always be fascinated to see their wings and the ways they moved. [color=a187be]“I like your wings! They look incredibly [i]fly[/i]. Pun intended. Unless that’s offensive, in which I deeply apologize, as I mean fly as in cool, and cool as in… cool!”[/color] Suddenly, Min’s eyes lit up and she began to rummage within her satchel. Every now and then, an object would slip out, and one of her golems would catch it, and place it back in the bag while Min continued to look. Min clearly seemed to be the type of person who would change in an instant from being chatty to being contemplative. [color=a187be]“I don’t mean to be rude at all, but your wings just reminded me of this…”[/color]

From inside her bag, she pulled out a simple origami crane, that suddenly fluttered to life and jumped off her fingertips. It flapped its wings and took the air, weaving around Min, the statues, then circling around the harpy. [color=a187be]“It’s a little creation of mine I made on the train ride. Not at all sentient, but it is quite great at mimicking life.”[/color] The paper bird fluttered and tried to land on the harpy’s shoulder.

Meanwhile, Min noticed that the owner of the shop herself had come over to help. [color=a187be]“Oh thank you! I am quite alright, I am so sorry about the books.”[/color] As Bonnie introduced herself, Min nodded and gave a half-bow, then reached out to eagerly shake Bonnie's hands. [color=a187be]“Delighted to meet you, Ms. Cunningham! I am in fact one of the new tenants. Minerva Yoon, at your service, but most call me Min. And behind me at my service are my two… children? Creations? Friends?”[/color] Min scratched her chin a spent a moment pondering this dilemma.

[color=a187be]“Well, the tall marble princely-looking statue is Abbott, and the stout terracotta lad is Costello! They’ve been charmed to help me fix things up, and I’m sure that they’d be willing to help carry things around this cozy shop of yours if you’d ever need help.”[/color] Abbott and Costello both solemnly bow at Bonnie, then lifted up Min’s boxes to demonstrate their strength. The two statues tossed the hefty boxes up in the air with a bit of a twirl, as if on cue, then caught them without anything spilling out. Min watched this and laughed. 

[color=a187be]“Obviously, they can be more coordinated than my clumsy self… But nevertheless, I am excited to be here!”[/color]
