An awkward pause lasts for about a minute, giving Franklin enough time to cock his head in suspicion towards Michael. His trusty drone gives him an small earful, causing the teen's mind to click.
"Really? Okay, that's true. Rachel would have torn me a—" His blue eyes track Michael's own, spotting the likes of Eires with her food and Homura entering the room. Neither person he knew anything about.
"Excuse Me, Stranger, It's Dangerous To Consume Uncooked Meat," The small drone heads towards the vampire's location, seeing if he could talk them out.
"Really? Nev'ah seen y'ah 'round here, and I've been here for a while." The feeble-looking Sayian keeps her eyes on the bird, resisting the urge to swat it away. "Y'ah pet, right? Do any tricks?"
A concerned Franklin looks between Michael and H.E.R.B.I.E's position. "Nanny bot, remember? And raw meat's pretty gross, so I understand. You hiding something, Michael?"
H.E.R.B.I.E realizes the situation's implication. Two yellow "cheek dots" appear on his display, followed by a nod. "Oops, My Apologies, first and foremost. Part Of My Programming, While Primarily Aimed Towards Master Richards, Tends To Place Me Past A Bystander Status If Danger Arises To Anyone."
He raises a servo towards the plate, "Such As The Nature Of Your Food, Which I Will Advise—-Did You Say "Usually"?"
Caulifla!Kale couldn't help but feel interested in the loyal pet, placing her hands on her hips. "That so, huh?" Before climbing down the tree, she grabs a couple of apples for food.
Kale!Caulifla becomes the perfect perch for Gulldo, but she does snap out with a stutter. However, she simply raises her arm out to direct the bird to rest there.

"Oh dear..." H.E.R.B.I.E keeps his professionalism intact, even if he felt a little miffed. "Well, Stranger, You're Quite Interesting In That Regard, Simply Put. In Fact, Your Anatomy Is Very Peculiar, Yet Also Familiar."
"I said, 'Are you hiding som'—you're totally hiding something, aren't you?" Franklin looks back at the vampire, trying to see what's the problem.

-There's a Yvette, spying on her from half-behind a doorframe-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?
"Pardon This Brief Pause..."
H.E.R.B.I.E attempts a further analysis of Eires's biology, which leads to even further questions, confusion, and a subtle urge of caution. "I Hate To Insult Anyone, Especially Strangers, But Your Physical Traits Are Rather Reminiscent Of A Vampire. Which Would Explain The Diet..."
H.E.R.B.I.E slowly leans back towards Franklin's position, fearing more for this safety.
"Woah, wait, a vampire, H.E.R.Bs?! You're pretty chill so far..." Franklin, while also concerned, couldn't contain the excitement on his face. "Then again, Michael's pretty concerned, but he doesn't seem to like anything "supernatural"...."
Kale!Caulifla's attempt at replacing Gulldo failed, but on second thought, maybe that wasn't such a bad thing. Regaining a sense of awareness, she looks back to reacknowledge her mentor and Winda with a sheepish smile. Then, she carefully attempts to stroke the sleeping bird.
"My kind of animal."

...
-She steps out and walks up to her-
Are you going to try again?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

(Oh, Franklin? There's a brief moment of Michael glancing at the passing Eires. Coincidence?)
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."
