Daine starts in surprise as a... boy?... swings into view. It's a little hard to tell, what with him being upside down and wearing such odd things, but he's not mired in skirts like she is, so 'boy' is her best guess. And she's quick enough to forget that question when he talks to the squirrels just as calmly as she does, as if he expects them to understand him. And they do.

"Who are you?" she blurts before remembering she didn't introduce herself. "I'm Daine. Are you really talking to the squirrels?"
