Well, she's not wrong there. When she rushes up to him, he holds very still, as if expecting to end up hugged regardless and planning on simply not reacting to it. It doesn't come to pass, however, and so he takes that as being free to move again, even if it is only to tilt his head curiously at the Ringmaster.

"You're in a surprisingly good mood for someone who died," he comments, an idle and useless start to what he's really here about, but he won't digress much further than that. "I am here because of the note I left for you, though..." It's the other question that makes him pause to first frown at her, then try and give that serious thought.

How does it feel to turn into a bird? Is it meant to feel special somehow?

"It's... odd. How it feels, I mean, not the note." He probably does need to specify. "Knowing that I can fly away whenever I feel like it. I'm not really sure what to make of it yet."
