[Shaw hasn't discovered her new friend's fun little perk yet: everything sounds completely normal from inside the soundproof bubble, and this just happens to be her first time trying to interact with someone outside of it while the kestrel is close at hand. So she misreads the cause of the alarm, shaking her head.]

It's not wild, it hatched from that weird egg thing. And it didn't hurt me on purpose, it tried to land on me when--

[As she talks, she takes a step forward. It's just the one step - she's not trying to get herself or the bird all up in Harold's face. But by taking it, she ends up moving from just outside the bird's five-foot silencer radius to just inside of it - and suddenly, with no other indication or fanfare, she's perfectly audible again.]
