[As he turns to leave, his belt jostles, and a jagged beam of light before him makes him stop abruptly and stumble back. Before he realizes what's going on, a poofy blue thing is flapping around in front of him. He just stares back at it for a few seconds before it turns away to go hover around the girl instead.]

Shit.

[What the fuck is that thing? It looks like a bird, but... not. Did he have that on him the whole time? He starts to grasp for it, though it's well beyond his reach. The creature doesn't seem too eager to go flying back to him, anyway, and chooses to flutter in front of the stranger a bit longer. Finally, it flaps up and settles atop her head with a coo of Blu blu blu.

Murphy stares for a few more seconds, and swallows.]

Uh... I think that's mine? Sorry...

C'mon, get off her.

[Yeah, this Swablu's going nowhere.]
