It's said that he ended up giving himself a concussion when he tried to move through a wall." He wasn't called Oddball for nothing.

Absently petting the small Augurey, Daehyun winced when she'd told him about the interest babies showed in her hair, wondering if she was talking about human babies. Because if she was, he couldn't really imagine what she was going through. "Tie it back, maybe, for safety purposes?" he asked, though he liked the curled mess that was her hair ~~but he wouldn't admit it, unless he wanted to turn into a dying squid again~~.

At her final statement, he held the Augurey in one hand, close to his chest to shield it and keep it from falling, holding the jar of insects up in the other hand. Uncaring that his robe might get dirty in the process, he sat cross-legged on the floor right there, the bird in his lap, and opened the jar for Shera to grab some. He silently looked at her and waited for a reaction, unsure of what to say - whether she minded touching the insects or not, since he'd seen some gloves on the same shelves, but at the same time didn't want to insult her for offering. So far she'd proven she was different from everything he'd expected her to be, which was why he'd decided to stay silent.

... and didn't notice the little rascal on his lap that had spotted the treats, slowly inching forward towards the jar.

"You would assume that if he had them for a while he should've gotten used to their cries instead of thinking he was dead..." what a weird story, and a strange man. But then again, many of the great wizards from history were mental. "Or you know, stop trying to walk through the wall after you didn't manage to do it the first time you tried."

That was usually a pretty good indicator that you were not, in fact a ghost.

"If I ever find my hair ties again I will," she commented lightly, though turned her eyes to smile down at the Augurey that was still tugging her hair. Conveniently for her, Daehyun had the snacks ready to go. She lightly giggled as the Augurey on his lap moved towards the glass he was holding. "I think your one also is feeling pretty hungry!"

Still, now focussed on feeding the baby that was in her hands she walked over to where Daehyun was, dropping down into a cross-legged position herself as she reached over to pull one of the dried insects out of the jar. Holding it near the baby in question, it had finally noticed and left her hair alone, now moving towards the insect in Shera's hand.

Smiling softly she assisted by bringing it closer to the Augurey, cooing as it ate the little insect from her hand.
