Eyebrows rose up a little at the inquiry, looking up from their squatted position. They shouldn’t be too surprised when said bard is someone that Sylvie often beelined towards upon sight even if it was in public eye, often almost bodying Venti in full with their entire weight ( out of friendliness, of course! ).
Was it that suspicious that they were outside the area and huddled over ... something? ... hm, well, yeah, kinda, if they think about it. They shuffled a little on their feet to showcase the bundled collection of ... well, a lot of things. Mushrooms, plants, berries, some weirdly shaped swirly things ...
