Meira felt the man calming down, a sense of indescribable emotions associated with cute things but also a small amount of something like fear. She blinks slowly, eyes moving from the bunny-bird to the man. The next moment, she rolls over, tail tucking, and paws at the air with a front paw, trying to make that smile as big as she can possibly manage.

I promise! she chirped, bringing her other paw up and tucking the first one, looking up with those big eyes. Her father could never resist them and she had a feeling that not many people would try.
