“Huh?” Her head lifts up mid thought when a stranger’s voice reaches her ears, a curious expression flickering up towards him. Ah, is this about the bag of birdseed that she’s lugging around— okay, that’s not quite the right wording given it’s small and hardly counts as heavy even by her weak standards. Maybe her expression had looked like she was having trouble? “No, ’m okay, thank you…is there anything I can help you with, though?” Ahiru feels like she should at least make the same offer in kind since she’s probably…interrupted his schedule. If nothing else, she’s good company and a nice listener!
Girl pauses, tacking on as an afterthought. “Did’ya think there was something suspicious about this? ‘Cause there’s not really, I promise. Pinky swear!” Accidentally cause issues for the public by feeding the local bird populations maybe, but no serious crimes. Had her hands been less full, she probably would’ve followed through with the gesture too.
– You had asked her if she was okay because she looked like she was upset about something. But now that you’re talking to her it’s easy to see that maybe she was just lost in thought? Either way, you’re glad she’s alright. It’s hard enough adjusting to life in this place without additional problems, and from what you can tell she’s not from here either.
You open your mouth as if to ask her a question, but she doesn’t seem to notice. This is a fairly common occurrence for you actually, but you don’t mind. Good things tend to happen when you let people go off.
Suspicious? Well. You didn’t think the bird feed was suspicious before. But now you do.
“You were planning on sneaking a bite too, right?” Your delivery is flat however, you are absolutely and one hundred percent joking. A girl eating bird seed? Now that’s just silly.
“I want in.”
To help feed the cute birds, or eat the bird seed? You leave that up for interpretation.
