Ivory adjusted the brim of her pointed hat, the weight of it shifting slightly as the black crow landed atop it. The bird tilted its head, glossy eyes peering down at her with knowing curiosity. Ivory grinned, lifting a hand in greeting.

"Hello again, Poe" she said as if the crow were an old friend. "You always know when I have something good to eat don’t you?"

Attached to her other arm she held a woven basket filled with lunch; fresh bread, cheese, and berries she had picked that morning. She reached inside and tore off a small piece of bread, holding it up. The crow let out a loud *caw* as it stretched its beak toward the offering before plucking it delicately from her fingers.

At her feet, Moshi, her fluffy white cat with mismatched blue and green eyes, rubbed against her leg and let out a soft meow. "Don’t worry Moshi. There’s plenty for us too."

With the sun warm on them Ivory continued down the path toward the lake, the crow still perched on her hat and Moshi trotting beside her. The day stretched ahead like an unwritten story one filled with soft breezes, rippling water, and quiet companionship.

And for Ivory... that was magic enough.

Utilizing the adorably cute Ivory by the incredible Mousso. Just wanted to render something and so now it's a short story.
