But before he can ask about it, his curiosity is instead drawn by her attention to the ground, and he gives a small hop on the ground to scoot closer. And as soon as he sees the worm, his expression falls. Inwardly, at least. He is, for the first time, realizing a small flaw in his whimsy here. ]

But this… was slightly outside the scope of his expectations. What’s more important? Gaining a tiny bit of favor or his dignity?
