[[There's a small duckling waddling about in the gardens behind the Opera House.

She's currently picking flowers. And she hasn't noticed the video feed or the fact that she may or may not be watched at this moment.]]

[[With a bill-ful of stems, she begins to drag them back to the large building

Well, you seem ok. That is a relief.
What were you gathering all of those flower for?

[A beat. ]

[And aside, softly considered aloud. ]

Maybe I should get Lantis since he can actually communicate with animals…
