Alpine Lake The falling of our feet and it sounds like drumming

Earlier Holly had thought that the man had been faking his kindness, and while that opinion still stood so did another: he wasn't just a senseless beggar. Oliver seemed to be kind enough, well put together just not well kept. Although he did come off as nervous and a current try-hard she shook it off, knowing the feeling. The shadow then started to explain his past, he was new to being alone in the world. At this Holly nodded, silently acknowledging and noting everything he said. The man then turned the subject onto her and she opened her mouth to speak, Oliver interrupting to ask if he could come and sit with her.

Holly tilted her head to the side a bit and looked at the sky as if she was pondering, but it was obvious by the smile that had shown up on her face and her over contemplating gestures that she was simply joking. She remained for a beat before turning back and gazing into the man's eyes. "Of course you can silly!" she jested lightly, hoping her joke passed well and he hadn't taken offense. She still moved the meal back a bit though, placing it closer to her body as her paw remained firmly on top. Once Oliver appeared comfortable enough, Holly inquired: "Now what is it you would like to know about me?"
