Yeah, maybe it was kind of a bad idea.  It didn't seem like Towhee was really in the mood for her shenanigans.  The lack of outward amusement translated to something along the lines of, "Oh, that kid is up to nonsense again, sigh," so she was highly considering just bailing right out and going to find someone else to stalk.

Still, she was kind of trapped, wasn't she?  She put on her best "wow, yeah I am totally not awkward right now" big ol'' smile and responded with quite a lot of uncertainty, Ma-aybe?  For all her troublemaking, she still didn't like getting caught.  She sat up, looked around briefly, then back to her aunt.  But I could go bug someone else I guess?  The fact that Towhee often looked kind of stern probably didn't help her misreading the issue at hand, here.
