[Vash doesn't quite startle, but there is a bit of a twitch as the bird lands on him. He's gotten used to far more friendly flying things, since the Plantimals started coming out, but his instincts are still honed for more hungry attackers. Still, he straightens up after just a second, offering a flesh finger up for the bird to sniff.]

Hey there, little pal! [He catches just a glimpse of the boy's face, enough to see some kind of familiarity there. He offers a reassuring smile as he speaks?] Is this guy your pal? Gotta say, he's a cutie. [And back to the bird:] Your friend is real tough! Gotta be nice to have that kind of muscle around! Imagine all the worms he can get you!

[Anyway, the boy had asked something, right? Vash sifts back through his memories and - ah! There we go.]

I think so? I'm more familiar with their names and all that. Terra, definitely. Jury's out on CookieLand. It's real, by the way! And they get a little sensitive when you say they aren't cookies! Just a warning!
