BirdsEither parrots and gulls (popular with dockworkers) which sit upon the shoulder, or small caged canaries and other tiny birds. Ferrets, stoats and weaselsVery popular among younger people, these creatures are playful as well as being useful for retreiving small objects and that sort of thing. They are sometimes hidden up people's sleaves, or draped around their neck like a scarf. CatsDomestic cats are a recent arrival in Lacerda. Very popular with well to-do ladies, and men of more refined professions, such as jewellers and tailors. Just about any animal would be fine though, if you would like a pet. Like everything else, it's all optional, and doesn't cost Corrin anything. It's assumed to just be something he might have as a local. [/sblock] Accessories[sblock]Both men and women commonly sport jewellery, and it is not uncommon to see robed men wandering the streets with golden torques, bracelets, hoop-earrings and nose rings. Jewels are also common, usually set in gold. Sashes and robes are always popular in the hot climate. Loose, billowing garments that stir with the breeze are both practical and comfortable. Adventuring men often wear loose cotton pants tucked into leather boots. And wide-necked cotton shirts over whatever armour they have on. Sashes are more commonly seen than sword-belts, or bandoliers. Of course, many people wear other clothing and armour and simply disguise them with colourful fabric to blend in with the locals more and not draw attention to themselves.[/sblock]</blockquote>
