When Starling brings you a gift with a confident smile, you know that they spent a considerable amount of their time picking the perfect thing. You appreciate it as much as the gift itself.
You see Starling carefully organising their belongings, paying little attention to anything else. They don't notice you until you are close enough to press your nose into their shoulder to get their attention.
As usual, every time you think you've had a bad day, Starling proves it's not so bad. According to them, theirs is always worse and they're ready to describe in detail exactly why.
