Keetie explained that she didn't think the fireflies would be out this early, that she'd only seen one. If he recognized any hint of flirtatiousness - and he definitely did not - he made no sign of it, brows furrowing slightly as he cast a glance around the two of them to see if he could spot the lone firefly. Of course his efforts were futile, but he could only assume he'd just missed it. With his head in the clouds so often, it wasn't exactly a surprise that Spirit not notice something that might be obvious to others. He watched curiously, head tilting slightly to the side, as she sprawled out on the ground and flipped onto her back. The position was definitely a vulnerable one though spoke of comfort and trust rather than submission. Slowly and reluctantly he sunk down beside her, lying on his belly instead. He wasn't that trusting of strangers, and still maintained some distance between them, ever-fearful. Her whole demeanor was friendly enough though that it was hard to not relax, at least a bit. He felt a faint smile pulling at the corners of his lips. "M-my home is just south of here," Spirit admitted quietly. "T-today I just wanted to see something new." And here he was, wandering aimlessly as if somehow he might find purpose and meaning, though he knew those things weren't quite that easy. Not as easy as stumbling into a kind stranger like Keetie, that was for sure. |
Spirit has a female strawberry Finch companion named Strawberry, who is almost always nearby.
He also is usually wearing a saddlebag if he's away from home.
