[The slow reaching works well, and the vulture bumps its head against her fingers curiously. It might be about the only one of Shun's vultures most people could get away with this on, but that doesn't change the fact that it's of remarkably mild temperament for a vulture.

There's a brief shrug from Shun at her clarification. He's handled worse insults from worse people in worse situations with no reaction at all, so her throwing out a jab implying that he's unreasonable was always going to have all the impact of a fly on a radar readout.]

Because of her or not, I'll still take losing your cool and then recovering over continuing to lose it. You'd be surprised how many people won't take "don't hurt her and she won't hurt you" for an answer. [In other words, Shun will at least respect the fact that she's now handling this better than most people do when it comes to anything involving his vultures.]
