[Rookidee sits patiently in her lap, staring around his surroundings and especially that of the rattata now that he has a better view than through a veil of vibrant red hair. Soft chirps every now and again as he's scratched, but otherwise content to sit there and not hop off unlike Murkrow, who is both bolder and much more curious.

Murkrow looks back to Willow, who nods approvingly, and then gently pushes her beak into Dimitri's hand as she hops closer to the outstretched hand. She's a cautious bird, but if her trainer sees no threat then she'll ease up and be friendly. She does eye the rattata, just in case any of them try and take a bite out of her, but so long as they don't, she won't attack.

Willow turns her attention back to Dimitri and gives her head a slight tilt.]
