Enki's original sentence got lost in spluttered denial, even if the reality seemed to shame that denial, considering the rabbit and a few sparrows seated on the closest branch. One of the more courageous ones had settled in Enki's hair, though it lifted briefly as Enki shook his head harshly.

"I mean... Not really. They're just drawn, I ain't doing anything," Enki said with a scowl, though his hand was as gentle on the rabbit as before, stroking the back.

"What're you doing out here, anyway, if they've taken your memories of... uh... direction in general, or whatever?" Attempt to deflect the conversation away from these annoying animals' presence was priority. Even if it was a weak attempt.
