Honestly, what do you really think?

...Not enough birds.

[Who needs context? Also he's not sure if you were talking to him but whatever. He'll answer anyway.]

Birds? [Selene glanced in the direction of the voice.]

Yeah. Birds. Y'know, little things, flappy wings, chirp a lot.

[Lots of accompanying twitchy hand gestures, as if "flappy wings" wasn't enough description.]

Birds.

[Their numbers are down. At least...in this block they are. He finds this Concerning.]

Yes, I know what a bird is. I am curious as to why you think there needs to be more of them.

Haven't you noticed? Should be at least twice as many here.

Somethin's picking 'em off.

[She frowned as she looked up at the trees. Now that he mentioned it...] What would be doing that?

Oh, all sorts of things. Cats, dogs.

...Demons.

[He watches her carefully after that, glancing at her then glancing at the trees, gauging her response.]

Demons eat birds?

[She doesn't flinch, her face stays the same.]

Some of 'em do, sure. Depends on what sort.

The bigger ones only scare 'em off, but. Smaller ones for sure.

[Welp. So far so good. Not his problem if she doesn't want to listen anyway.]

Do you have any idea what might be depleting the population in this area? Demon seems a broad term.

Well it's a broad breed. Praexis, Lukhavim. Though you'd be seein' more bodies if they were about. Could be a minor one. Or a new one. Haven't seen anything specific, if that's what you're askin'. Keep my bloody nose out of it; not my war. Just thought. Y'know. Might want to know. Eyes peeled, that sort of thing.

Indeed, it is good information to have. Thank you kindly.

[A shrug.]

Figger long as you listen.

Not everyone does.

What makes you think I wouldn't listen?

Oh, not sayin' you. Just. People. Don't know you, couldn't say if you'd listen or not. Most people don't believe in demons, that's all.

Wouldn't blame you for not. Sounds a bit dodgy; I probably wouldn't if I hadn't seen them m'self.
