Beneath the strange scents she cannot identify, the two-legger smells like metal and salt water. Urgh. Not nice, this is not food.
He opens his mouth -that small, weird, soft hole in that round, white face- and makes the noises the rest of his kind make, murmuring, mumbled, and barely understandable.
She tastes the air. He's no danger so far, she can tell, and now she catches a different scent in the air, sweet and nutty. Like home, and those pods she'd swoop down to pluck for her nestlings.
The flat rectangle looks nothing like a pod.
"Chocolate," two-legger says.
