I was just as surprised when I first saw Rio as a child. [he looks at the creature fondly- yes, even in his world rio is pretty unique. rio trills and sniffs at the screen, curious as viktor rests a hand on her large head.

he hasn't actually seen anyone else summon a familiar, so it's fascinating to watch the process unfold. the little bird isn't one he immediately recognizes but it's familiar enough he nods.]

I believe so- I'm not sure if exactly like it but... oh, actually it looks a bit like a bird from farther north of where I am from. Mostly where I grew up there are sea birds and pigeons.

What is their name?
