[ the bird in his lap is just vibing, so he gently shooes away the one on his shoulder, and turns his body a bit towards laurence. forget about the rest for now. ]
No better time than the present, right? [ that is a bit curious - laurence's reaction - but he keeps it to himself for now, instead keeping his voice soft, gentle as he strokes a fingertip over the top of the seagull's head. ] Birds are very intelligent creatures, and the smaller ones are more likely to be very low on the food chain. Because of that, they can be a bit skittish, or even reclusive, mostly because they're trying to protect themselves.

[ the seagull in his lap cooes a little, clearly very content. sometimes you are just a friend to birds. ] If you hold out your hand to him and let him get a sense for you, I imagine you could befriend him today.
