Sienna pointed to a bright red bird on the guide. "I like cardinals. Cardinals are bright. I like bright." He commented and looked around the park for one. He could spot it already, but he just kept quiet, looking towards where it was. He hoped giving Sienna a clue would be enough for her to find it herself.

Sienna nodded and glanced around, trying to spot the bird. She had some well honed deduction skills, and while Layton was her current favorite before that she'd enjoyed and still did indulge in other forms of mystery/detective things. Most notably the works of Sir Conan Doyle and the tales of the manic but exceedingly intelligent Sherlock Holmes. While she'd liked those she found Layton was more approachable and much more of a gentleman and the kind of thing she wished still existed.
The point of her mental rambling was that she'd been at this whole spotting things that stand out or look wrong for years. And with luck she finally spotted the cardinal, a small but happy smile gracing her face as she turned to Owen and pointed. "I found it~"

The cardinal was soon found and Owen smiled his eyes at her. "Tidy." He complimented. He looked up to the tree nearer then, hearing a bird flapping nearby. Several, actually. A group of sparrows had come to perch above them and they all peered down at them. Well, they certainly knew who they were.
"Hello." Owen said without missing a beat. He scanned through the bird guide and placed a finger on the corresponding entry for Sienna to see. "They are these."

"Yeah very Tidy." Sienna replied with a soft giggle, still finding his manner of saying somethings adorable. A flurry of wings distracted them as they both tipped their heads back to stare up at the small flock of sparrows. Those she knew, they were hard not to know after all. Smiling as she watched them a moment she peered down at the guide Owen was pointing at and nodded. "Sparrows yes." She replied and then continued to eye the guide and then the surrounding area wondering which of the birds would show up next.

While Sienna was looking at the guide, a sparrow came down and landed on Owen's head. It clawed his hair and walked all over his scalp, though the boy paid it no mind. Instead, he grabbed it from there and held it in front of him. Somehow this one was trying to be a little cheeky or at least be a bit disruptive to their day out.
"Yes, we know you're here too." he said to it. Owen let it go and it gripped on his finger tightly, claws digging in. He didn't really care, but he stroked it as an apology. He held the bird out to Sienna. It chirped to her, as if to get her attention.

A sparrow few from above and landed on Owen's head making Sienna smile a little as it walked around, clawing his hair like it was its own. It was kind of cute really, this tiny bird acting all dominating. He reached up to grab the bird and told it we knew it was here, making her giggle just a little behind her hand.
She leaned forward a bit to look at the bird as it chirped at her. She was too afraid to try and pet the cutie but she did smile at it and gave a soft whistle. "Hello pretty bird." She greeted softly. This was nice, she'd decided. Originally she wasn't sure how it'd go but so far it was very pleasant.

The bird chirped back somewhat eagerly, and it tightened its claws around Owen's finger. He didn't really care, petting it. He stopped and pulled his fingers away just shy of the tiny bird pecking mischievously on it. They were all the same in the end after all. Birds liked to mess with people like that. Perhaps it was good Sienna refrained from touching it in the first place.
Another one came down and settled by their feet. It chirped up to the bird on Owen's hand, and they seemed to have a short conversation together. "Friend's friend?" He mumbled to himself, looking down at the sparrow that had landed by his shoe.

Sienna watched with curious but hesitant eyes as Owen allowed the bird to mercilessly peck at his fingers and dig it's little birdie claws into his skin. He didn't seem the least bit bothered by it though so she remained calm and said nothing. Another bird joined them and looked to know the one in Owen's hand. Well it looked like birds of a feather flocked together after all.
Moving slowly she leaned down a bit to see the bird closer but still kept her hands to herself as she watched it. Birds were quite pretty but so flighty and ready to take off at the slightest movement. But sometimes if you were nice enough they'd be more tolerant. She wondered if that was how she came across sometimes. Not that she intended too of course. Smiling she whistled softly at the bird but again made no moves towards the cute creature. Just seeing ti up close was enough to her.

The sparrow on the ground turned its attention to Sienna quite readily, as if paying attention to his friend with Owen was now a waste of time. It chirped at her and hopped a little closer. It tried to peck her, though it was a light touch in reality. It wasn't as tough as it liked to think it was. Owen leaned down with her, letting down the bird on his finger.
It hopped down and the two started to make some small noisy ruckus together. "You are friends..." He said under his breath and stood up again. By now people had started to gather under one of the trees nearby. Perhaps something exotic had landed? The boy looked over, then back to Sienna. "Want to go look?"

Sienna watched as the sparrow fixated on her now. It chirped hopped closer and pecked at her shoes. Ah was he angry? Had she done something wrong perhaps? Whatever she might have been thinking was cut short as the other was set down and the two fowl started making some noise and calming her nerves all at once.
The crowd of people was hard to ignore and she nodded, waiting for him to lead the way. "Sure." Hopefully it was something cool.

Hearing her accept, Owen wasted no time and immediately started walking to join the crowd. People were quietly observing the branches above. No wonder.
Up there sat a few blue jays, pecking around the tree. Bright and easily spotted, to everyone's delight. "Can you see?" He asked Sienna.

Seinna walked alongside him to see the bird people had gathered nearby to look at.
Blue jays. very pretty and she smiled up at them, wishing she'd brought a camera as she turned to Owen and grinned. CThsi was nice and relaxing and fun. She was glad she'd stumbled upon the idea. It was nice out and couldn't have been a better day for this~
((Ahmygosh I am a bit bored with this after reading over it. We can say they had a ton of fun and HC the end maybe? ))

((Yeah I'll wrap it up then))
Sienna was enjoying herself. Somehow it was refreshing to see her smiling and happy, as if it were some unfamiliar occurrence. Perhaps it was just the collection of off chances they'd met in the past. He looked above them and let his mind drift for a while. They had all the time in the world.
Up in the tree were happy creatures in blue, on a quiet yet eventful afternoon. Spending time with a friend, enjoying it with the birds. Kind of just the way he liked it.
