[It's a bit odd for Hanna, not being home on the Day of the Dead. It messes up all his personal traditions...but he's fine with trying something new

[ He considers not drawing attention to the fact that he's just posted this and allowing Hanna some privacy with his graves and his flowers. But eventually, a text comes through: ]
[ Birds tend to be fond of crumbled bits of stuff in general, so while cookies might not be inherent to their diet, adventurous ones have been known to partake for the sake of crumbliness.
The bird twitches its head at the two of them and then says something in birdese quite possibly along the lines of better not try anything funny. Mouse whistles nonsense in reply and then the bird flaps down from its gravestone perch to peck at ghost cookie crumbles from the ground between the two of them.
[ The question is so ridiculous that Mouse erupts in a series of giggles that sends the little grey bird flying back to its perch, a little spooked. Mouse tries to whistle it back down to the ground between them, but it's hard to whistle in general when laughing so it just comes out misshapen and warbly.
The bird chirps annoyingly back and then hops down again, only to focus on pecking at crumbs decidedly closer to Hanna. ]
[ Since this bird is brave -- nay, suicidal! -- it seems wooed by the crumbs in Hanna's hands. The small bit of fluff twitters at him as if trying to convince him to put the crumbs down and when he doesn't, the creature hops forward.
Mouse watches, clamping a hand over his mouth to keep from laughing outloud again. ]
[ Mouse sticks his tongue back, going so far as to make a quiet pfft noise before flopping onto his back and whistling up at the trees to see if there was any hope in finding a bird of his own. None answer the call.
In Hanna's hand the bird picks at the crumbs before looking at Hanna with a cocked head and tweeting some more. ]
[ Mouse lifts his head at this and then twists around, holding out his palm full of crumbs towards the bird. If birds could be described as suspicious, this one may just qualify. Mouse whistles and the bird tweets.
HANNA?
