She knelt down so that she could get two knuts into the machine more easily, and as she cupped her hand just under the little slot where the gum would come out and turned the knob, she glanced back at him as he spoke, not paying attention to the machine or what would come out of it.

Bird brawls? She giggled. "No, our owls are pretty well-mannered." For the most part anyway. Mangig might possibly start a brawl if he was hyper enough, but she doubted the other owls would give him the time of day. "Though one of them did almost poo on me." Pause. "He missed though." So don't worry, Anakin, you won't get any owl poop on you.

When he repeated the same phrase she'd used, she made a face and was about to comment on it when she felt the gumball slip out of the slot and into her hand. Or rather, it felt like TWO gumballs were there. How strange that that would happen again! Anakin was obviously a lucky charm when it came to getting gum out of a machine.

But when she turned her head to look, there weren't two gumballs. In her hand were two things - a bright green gumball and something else.

Oh sweet merlin. She did want some gum. If she'd said no...well...he didn't know what he could do. Because he'd been stupid enough to rely so heavily upon a GUMBALL machine. Goodness. It'd been a cute idea yeah, but could have gone disastrously wrong...but it didn't...so...maybe he should just be glad? "Welcome."

And again with the nerves. And the wanting to puke. And sweet merlin...

"Awh..." Was it terrible if thought a bird brawl might be kind of fun? "Too bad they're so chill. You could have like, a bird fight club! It could be entertaining. You'd never have to say work was just 'same old thing' ever again!" Except, maybe after awhile the bird brawls would become rather boring...They could probably only do so many moves. Like...a peck. And a squawk. Or...a wing attack! "Is that a daily occurrence?" There's something else they could use to attack!

Right. Now he was just going on a bird rant. More oddities, definitely. So he just needed to be silent now, and wait for her reaction.

He bit his lip when she reached for the gumball, pulling it out and the ring along with it. Though...she seemed a little bit confused. Swallowing hard, Anakin allowed himself to sink a little lower to the ground, supporting himself on one knee behind her while he waited for her to turn. "Vash?"
