[ She fixes him with a blank look as if she didn't know at all what he was talking about. A bird biting her was not ultimate proof of the pointlessness of the universe. Merely that it was hungry. So very particularly, once the sting wears off the bite, not so deep as that, she reaches for another bit of jerky and takes her eyes off him to give the bird that had bit her a bit of jerky. Immediately it butted it's head into her hand, looking for it, giving her an excuse to give it a scratch at it's feather and scales. Tolerated as long as it had something in it's mouth.
Animals were animals. She never expected them to be more or less than that. After what she'd seen, she didn't think there was kindness in making them think like Daine put it - two legger smart. ] Greedy little monster, aren't you? [ It cawed happily, head tilted up into the pet with feathers on display. Someone had been feeding the things long before her for them to be so friendly, was her best guess.

Connection or not, she never would get in the habit of expressing much. ] By my reckoning of our mission, we have nothing to do for a few hours yet. [ She still has some jerky left, and their were more mouths to feed, apparently, from their squawking, jumping and nipping at her boots for what was in her hands. ] Why don't you join me, instead? We look more at ease for the people here, keep them calm so we can go about our business easier if that puts you in a better mood for it. [ Sensible, straight forward sort of thought. ]
