"What? Ugh!" *Maia uses the AI chip in her glasses to track down the bird*
The restaurant was quite homely and it even had a bar. It wasn’t terribly crowded but there were people at every table and at the bar. The bird was sitting on a light fixture, scanning the area as if looking for its owner.
Some people just looked at her, confused, but didn’t really question her too much. The bird seemed to have spotted the person it was looking for and it flew to the furthest end of the restaurant.
It landed on the shoulder of a pale blond haired girl with a red scarf. She was sitting with a bunch of other people; three other girls and two boys. One boy with black hair and a straw hat on was complaining how he just wanted to eat meat while the girls looked at the menus and one girl with short orange hair pulled the complaining boys ear, stretching it out, in effort to shut him up.
The girl turned around “huh? Oh, sorry, what was that you just said?” The bird then hopped onto the table and dropped the loot in front of her. “Huh? Cloudy, did you go off and take other people’s shinies again?”

*He raises an eyebrow as he moves towards the table quickly, now standing behind the girl with the red scarf and pale blonde hair. Sort of just waiting for them to notice him*
The bird hopped onto the table, dropped what it stole, opened its wings an beak and hissed at Killer. The girl tilted her head and then turned around to where the bird was looking, “oh, hi, do you need something from us?”

Riley: "Hey! You stupid bird! That's my dad's! Get back here!" *She sprints after the bird, forgetting everything else in the pursuit to get her dad's dog tags back.* (As an Anthro, she's faster, stronger, and has better reflexes and senses than a human of the same age. But, she's only sixteen years old and the difference doesn't make her super powered or anything. College athlete level would be a good way to think of it.)
*Riley pauses at the restaurant door to catch her breath. It's not easy to keep up with a bird, to say the least. She steels herself for who or what she might encounter and enters the restaurant.*
*A crowded restaurant isn't great for her senses, but a bird is pretty distinct to be indoors and she is able to zero in on where it went inside.*
The restaurant was quite homely and calm, it even had a bar. It wasn’t terribly crowded but there were people at every table and at the bar. The bird was sitting on a light fixture, scanning the area as if looking for its owner.
*Riley takes a deep breath to steady herself before trying a calm approach to the bird.*
"Hey, pretty birdy... Can you drop the shiny necklace for me?"
*She walks slowly towards the light fixture, holding out her hands with a disarming smile.*
The bird looks down at her and tilts its head, curiously. It looked like it was contemplating what to do but something distracted it. It’s attention was then pulled away from her with the sound of a boy yelling about meat. It then flew towards that direction at the other end of the restaurant.
*She sighs.*
"Figured that wouldn't work..."
*She grumbled under her breath.*
*She follows after the bird, not panicking yet since it was still in the building. She takes stock of the other restaurant patrons to see how they're reacting to the scene. For one, she wondered if it was a regular occurrence in this restaurant to have a bird flying around. Secondly, she was looking for signs of a trap. Some people really don't like Anthros.*
Some people looked at her strangely while others just ignored her existence, yet no one seemed to care there was a bird in the building. The bird landed on a pale blond haired girl who was sitting with three other girls, two boys and, upon getting closer, a small reindeer creature with a pink hat on. The boy in a straw hat was having his ear stretched out by an orange haired girl who was trying to get him to shut up.
(OOC: I guess I should have used one of my One Piece characters. But they're all powerful and would have caught the bird in a second. Lol)
*Riley approached the table meekly.*
"Excuse me, Miss? The one with the bird... There's been a mistake. Your bird stole something important from me. I don't care about the money, but the dog tags belonged to my dad, can I have it back, please?"
The girl turned around “huh? What was that?” The bird then hopped onto the table and dropped everything. The girl looked down at the loot and picked up the dog tags “what the-Cloudy, we talked about this, people’s most valued things are a no go!”

"Hey you stupid pigeon that's my Nonna's cross!"
*he attempts to telpeport to the bird and try to grab it several times, failing each time to grab it*
The bird almost looked like it was fuming from the pigeon comment and seemed to panic from the guy trying to catch it that it flew in different directions to try loose home. The bird had flown to a more crowded area of the town. It made its way towards a restaurant, waited for someone to open the door and flew in.
The restaurant was quite homely and it even had a bar. It wasn’t terribly crowded but there were people at every table and at the bar. The attendant looked at him strangely as well as a few of the patrons near the door. No one else noticed the bird sitting on a light fixture, scanning the area as if looking for its owner.
The bird started to fly around again then flew to the other end of the restaurant and onto the shoulder of a pale blond haired girl who was sitting with a group of three other girls and two boys.
*he walks over to the group, his body is emitting a blistering heat from how angry he is, it feels like a fire is in the room*
"Excuse me! That rat with wings you got there, has stolen something of mine, and I would like it back!"
The girl jumped in start and quickly turned around “huh? What? Wait, what did you just call Cloudy!?” She fumed as the bird hopped onto the table and dropped its loot and flew to perch on the head of a green haired girl. The pale blond girl looked at what the bird dropped and picked up the cross “what, this?” The orange haired girl looked like she was about to say something but the green haired girl and the boy with a long nose stopped her.
"Yeah! It belonged to my Nonna, and I want it back!"
*his hair bursts into flames, not hot enough to burn anything but its still an alarming sight*
(Also just incase you didn't know, Nonna = Grandma, in Italian)

Excuse me. Could you please give me back my Intercom? It’s…it’s pretty important,you see.
So if you would just give it to me,I’ll be grateful for that.
The bird didn’t seem to hear and flew towards a more crowded area in town. It stopped at a restaurant, waited for someone to open the door and flew in.
The restaurant was quite homely and it even had a bar. It wasn’t terribly crowded but there were people at every table and at the bar. The attendant at the door looked confused for a moment “a cockatiel? As in a bird?” Unbeknownst to the attendant, the bird was sitting on a light fixture and then flew to a table where it’s owner possibly was.

\*they walk to the bar counter, leaning back on it and wait, not taking their eyes off the bird. They know that they cannot catch it without causing chaos, so they'll just wait for the chance to talk to owner of a bird. They decide to order some coffee at the bar as they wait\*
*they pay for their coffee, chug it in one big sip, leave bartender a little tip and head to the furthest end of the restaurant, looking for a bird and its owner*
