She shrugged again, in an effort to look indifferent, but a pained look crossed her face. Silence prevailed for a moment, then she spoke again. "So, are you.. not human?" Well, of course not she chided herself, and blushed again. "Well, nevermind. But if you don't mind my asking, what're you, then?" She was still slightly uneasy with him, but it was very nice having someone to talk to. And, she realized, shy didn't even know his name.
