Leela honestly hadn't known she could blush as deeply as she was now, a cool hand came up to her face to place against the red in hopes of making it go away. She took another step towards the vendors, hoping to make a get away before anyone noticed her but before she could take two she stopped.

What if someone else heard his question and it caused panic? Had she heard it and NOT known it'd been... well, her, she might have been a little concerned to see a snake or something slithering along the alley. Not that those could make a similar noise but... still. With a resigned small sigh, she lowered her hand and willed herself to look calm and collected as she sought out the voice. "No animal. Just... a stomach that needs food. My apologies."
Septimus turned at the sound of music towards him only to see a woman coming his way and responding to his absent comment. Oh Merlin. That was a bright move, Nairne, he inwardly berated himself. “Ah…no, it’s my place to apologize,” he remarked genuinely, waving off her own apology and feeling a touch awkward. Comparing a hungry human to an animal was hardly a polite statement even if he hadn’t been aware of it at the time that it wasn’t something else. Add to it that insulting a woman…his mother would be ashamed.

“Bad stomach for betraying you and being so demanding,” he added, trying to make it more innocently amusing than weird. So very rude of it to make its hungry presence known, especially outside its body. Didn't it realize that there was stuff besides food that needed to be taken care of at times? His own certainly liked to bother him through the years when he was trying so hard to actively study for one thing or another.
