Night Puma

I smiled and turned to go towards the campus when Officer Ryans (I hope you're fine with me calling him Evan from now on) ran forward to catch up with me.

"Hey, there's one other thing I want to give you."

"A present already?"

"Well since we're, you now, fabula creaturis, I think that you might have more of an appreciation for this than the average person."

He fished in his wallet and pulled out a pin. It was the shape of a kind of cat, black with two sapphires for eyes.

"It's called a night puma," he explained. "It's a rare kind of fabula creaturis, of the beast variety, and only found in the Rocky Mountains. They say that one holds the power to reverse as much damage as you want, but it can only do this once, so it needs to judge whether it's a worthy cause. However, the night puma also has supreme wisdom. According to superstition, jewelry of a night puma can give you similar wisdom."

"Oi bet it'll 'elp me on me studies," I said, taking it.

Before he got back in the squad car, he said, "I'm serious about that date, you know. Call me after class so we can figure something out."
