Bramblepoint Cinnamon Harvest with his best buddy Ooky

The girl's next statement made Birk realize one thing - while he liked to be direct about his usually positive views about people he did not quite like the same directness aimed towards him. Therefore rather than feeling flattered about the compliment, he drew his ears back and looked away in embarrassement. Things would have been much easier for him, had she told that he was a rude brute and then he would be able to use this as an excuse to leave. But now...

"Good for you," Birk exhaled in relief and took the chance to get up himself and take some steps further away from her. "Have a safe journey!" he told her and then turned on his heel and left the place hastily.

ooc: thank you for the thread and I am sorry that Birk was not any friendlier.
