Cerulean Cape to haunt, to startle

The stranger did everything to make Foxglove at ease with him, therefore Foxglove decided that maybe he was worth her time just a little longer. In response to his calming signals she sat down, yawned and listened to find out, what he wanted. 

His question did not impress her in the slightest - what was with people asking about the most obvious things? Was he so daft not to see that - yes - she was not doing alright, and - yes - she was hungry. Had been like that for longer than she would have liked. 

Therefore she dismissed his inquiry with a wry smile and waited for him to go on with the business.
