Coffee Bean trying to figure out what's going on with these bovines: Fake scales?

As both the cow and the bison stomp away Coffee Bean sighs. She probably should have gotten involved at some point to try and stop that fight, but honestly… she was just there for the drama. Not to get injured. And Coffee most definitely would have gotten injured if she stepped in. She was just about to leave (go get her stand and set it back up) when something caught her eye. 

 

There were some smallish sparkling things where the two bovines were fighting. Coffee perked up and trotted over there, wanting to see what was up. Was it what the two were fighting over? (She couldn't really hear the fight all that well) Did one of them drop something? … Could she sell it?

 

When she got to the spot she could hardly even see what caused the sparkling. There was pink and brown fur all over the floor along with hoof prints. But no sparkling things. She squinted her eyes and looked at the ground looking harder to see if there was something she missed. 

 

And there was something she missed! It was… scales? They were shining somehow despite there not being a whole lot of light to sparkle off of. And the fact that they were confetti sized. How does light shine off of something confetti sized? She poked one and it crumbled slightly. It was… really soft. Coffee had no clue that scales could be soft. Not like any scale Coffee's ever seen before. Maybe they were fake? Fake scales.

 

She looked around closer to the floor trying to see if there was any trail of these fake scales that she could follow. Maybe if she could find any she can go and ask one of those bovine people if they've seen any of the fake scales before.

 

… How would she do that without any of the fake scales??? How can she move them when they crumble at the slightest touch?

 

Hmmm …

 

OH! she could use one of her tiny lil jars! She knew they would come in hardy eventually. She just has to be very very careful. Like, featherlight. Maybe she could pick them up with a feather instead.

 

Coffee shakes her head and swishes her tail. She's decided (right now) that she wants to know what the fight was about. And that means finding more of the fake confetti scales.

 

Onces she puts a few of them in a jar.
