The sound that escaped Rody was....indescribable.
Pino did not like being poked, and gave the hero a rather hostile peck on the finger before being gripped quite cartoonishly and stuffed in the pocket.
Think Rody....think.
Turn on your charisma. You're fine. You're not in trouble. Just distract the old hero long enough to sneak off.
Perfect.
Let Pino out. She's your ticket out of here.
"Yeah, she is a rather cute bird isn't she. Very rare bird, y'know."
Pino still looked guilty as sin, but the brief image of panic had essentially been wiped clean from her human counterpart's face.
Just had to schmooze his way out of here. Luckily, schmoozing is something Rody's pretty good at.
