A cheeky raptor

Spinning around, you turn to see the grinning face of a raptor peeking out of the thick vegetation. Her eyes practically sparkle with glee, knowing she got you good. "So," she said, "Where did mister grumpy go?"

Telling her that your guide went to find her, she looks around her nervously. "Oh no, no no no... I'm not in trouble am I? I swear I didn't mean it, they were only pranks! I mean, yea, I did manage to singe a few behinds, and there was that thing with feathers, and that tar will scrub o-"

You place a finger on her lips, shushing her. "It's fine, don't worry about mister grumpy, accurate name by the way. I'll make sure you don't get into any trouble, now come out of those bushes." With a skeptical look, she steps out into the open, allowing you a moment to really get a good look at her. She really did look like a normal raptor, except far smaller than one might expect.

"How do you expect to protect me anyways?" She asks. "Even if I hid behind that very climbable back of yours, you'll leave eventually and then... And then... He... You... What!?" She trailed off as you raised the collar you were given up to her. You didn't say a word, you didn't have to, she knew perfectly well what it meant. "Me? ME!? I was only joking you earlier. There are plenty of sexy residents here, with their big chests and long arms. I'm small, not attractive at all, just a troublemaker, I'll be sent back to-"

You interrupt her with a playful grin, "Oh just shut up and accept already, so I can take my sexy raptor home and spoil her rotten. Unless, of course, you think I'm not good enough for you. In which case, I understand." You throw your arm across your eyes theatrically, "Oh woe is me!"

Hearing a snort, you lower your arms to see Blue was making a face, trying to contain her laughter. "Okay, you made your point, I definitely think you'll be fun." She cranes her neck, inviting you to place the collar on her, which you do. Your hand slide over the scales on her neck, somehow making both of you shudder a bit in pleasure. Just as you hear the 'click' of the collar locking into place she adds, "If you can handle me that is."

"And I, for one, have my doubts about that!" Your guide says, who is standing not to far away, tapping his toe. "Regardless, it seems it's out of my hands now. Sir, if you would follow me, we must discuss the particulars of your prize. As for you Blue... Just try not to get into anymore trouble."

With a grin, Blue grins and leaps back into the brush shouting, "No promises!" Which causes your guide to bury his face in his hand. "That girl, I swear. Anyways sir, we can finish the details upstairs."

A couple hours later, you were finally completing the last of the paperwork, strangely with the same woman who came to your house before. She was giving you the general breakdown of what you just finished going over. "Ok sir, just as a recap, your prize comes with free renovations not to exceed $500,000. In the case of Blue, she will need an extensive area in which to run and exercise in order to remain healthy. She has a particular diet, but due to her smaller stature and certain genetic particulars, she eats generally the same amount as you do."

"Rather than attempting to renovate your home, you have decided to purchase an entirely new property, which is your right, with the renovation money. The property is nearby, though will still need renovations to make it compatible for a raptor. Those renovations will take approximately two weeks, you will be notified at that point. You can come to the facility then, and pick up the raptor. That is all, we hope you enjoy your prize, and for your continued business in the future."
