Sienna had the audacity to look disheartened by his words, her brows furrowing as she turned her gaze back to the water. She supposed she should've been glad that he did not harm whatever it was, but he seemed like he needed the company..or food..or whatever it turned out to be. His sarcasm swept right over her head before the skeletal body was thrown her way and a girlish shriek left her in time with her scurry backwards. "What is wrong with you? You don't throw things at people! Certainly not dead things!" Sienna bristled where she stood, glaring down at the remains of whatever he'd mutilated.
Poor animal. She thought as she pawed some dirt over top of it.
And then he began speaking, beginning with what she could only assume was another last-ditch effort to make her angry, but he withheld. For that, she was marginally impressed, taking him in with the same furrowed brows and scrunched nose she regarded the remains with. Instead, he offered her food. Her expression lightened. "Can you teach me to catch?" Her tail swept across the backs of her ankles, eagerness alight within her kind gaze.
His question made her face fall briefly, the girl staggering over a reply. She wasn't always alone. She didn't want to be now. So the girl beamed at him instead, spreading her lips with a bright grin. "I am alone. All my friends left me." They were busy, she couldn't fault them for it, but Sienna would not lie to the stranger. He did not deserve it.
"Will you, then? Teach me?"
