Bird furrowed his brow slightly. Why were they covering their face? Were they alright? "P..Pardon me, I don't mean to sound rude or anything but... are you alright?" He asked, regretting the question as soon as it left his mouth. His face flushed and he shifted his gaze downward. "S-sorry..." He muttered quietly, silently cursing his brain for willing him to say it in the first place.

Orion blinked. They were concerned about his well being? Or were they just confused? "Uh...yea...I just...don't want to scare..marble." He said quietly, forgetting to lower his voice for the last part.

Bird glanced down at Maso, who was currently sticking out their forked tongue while they watched the stranger with wide eyes. "Why do you think they would be scared?" He asked, turning his head to the side a little.

Orion watched him a moment, then Marble, then Maso. He hesitated a moment, then lowered the bandanna, displaying his fangs and teeth. His mind was racing. 'Why did you just do that?! What if they get scared?! What if he gets mad at you for upsetting them!? Oh please chii don't let them be scared!'

Orion dropped his hand and with it the bandana, revealing a rather jagged set of teeth with a pair of long fangs. Bird looked down to Maso, nervously preparing himself to soothe the wyngling in case they really did get scared. But instead, Maso seemed intrigued. They opened their mouth and felt at their own teeth and closed it and felt around as if to see if any were sticking out. Then they turned over in Bird's arms, as if they had lost interest. Bird smiled, feeling a sense of fatherly pride rise in his chest after seeing that Maso didn't seem to judge Orion by their physical appearance. "Would it be okay for me to ask why you're out here on your own?" Bird asked, turning his attention back to Orion.

Orion watched the child with surprise, then looked back to Bird. "I'm just...stargazing...and thinking." He said quietly, then looked to the kids again. His eyes widened. That wasn't a pouch was it? But...He thought they were a guy.

"Oh, that's nice!" Bird said cheerily. "Appa!" Maso called. Bird looked down at the grey and blue wyngling as they raised their arms into the air, as if asking Bird to put them up higher. He complied, putting Maso on his back where the harnesses connected, allowing Bird's hands to be free once again. His pouch was clearly visible now, though he had grown so used to it there that he didn't feel any anxiety regarding it showing.

Orion stared at the pouch a moment, then looked to Bird. 'But I though...I mean...Or did they?' His face went slightly red and he glanced away. "Uh..sorry."

Having caught Orion staring at the pouch, the anxiety returned and his chest tightened, making it a little harder to breathe. He cast his gaze aside and brought his arms close to his chest, effectively hiding the pouch, silently wringing his hands. "Uhm... You can ask if you'd like..." He said quietly, mentally preparing himself to defend his gender identity. He wasn't sure what Orion's standing was with this sort of thing, or if they had even encountered it, but Bird knew that everyone wasn't always very kind to him about it, so eventually he had always begun to just prepare himself for the worst case scenario no matter what.

Orion saw their discomfort and winced. He hadn't wanted to upset them. But...he was curious... But he didn't want to hurt their feelings more. "Uh..I'm sorry.." He rubbed the back of his head. "I...I though you were...uh.....a...guy.."

Bird shrugged. "I am." He said simply. "I understand if you're confused, a lot of gros are..." He continued to wring his hands, eyes trained downward. "I still sound and appear female, but I identify with he/him pronouns. If you need me to explain more, I can." He said with a shrug.

Orion's eyes widened in surprise. He had never met another gro who felt the way he did. Question after question pounded in his head. His heart raced and felt like it was trying to escape his body. "I....I..." He blinked. "I...am the same way..." He said, letting his female voice be heard.
