Say It Ain't So

Of all things Osprey had not expected to hear a compliment. Having been a tomboy for majority of her life and thinking that flattery was icky and pink girly stuff, she was not very used to hearing and receiving them herself. Therefore she did not know, what person was expected to say in these situations. The thought of "What would March Owl have done?" did not help this time, because Osprey was not sure, if her mom had been the compliment type.

"Wow - did not expect that," she finally said, shifting her gaze away from him, looking briefly to either side of her and then down at her feet. She licked her lips and blinked few times, trying to calm herself in this awkward moment. "Well you are nice looking lad too, Rob!" she finally said and smiled at him. "My name is Osprey."
