[ Stares thoughtfully for a few moments. This is the same child who accepted the "flowers" back at the summer camp. She will accept this as some sort of bird. ]
...hm. [ She beams. ] It's... a new kind of crane with three wings! Maybe you should give it a name.
[placing his own slight against god to the side, he places her crane on the palm of his hand. examines it for a moment. and then, with a quick blow, the paper wings flutter, and the crane lifts off from his hand to do lazy swoops around them.]
[ She watches the crane move about them, with her mouth slightly open in awe. Then a smile blooms across her face, giggling and clapping her hands together excitedly. ]
That is so cool! It's really flying! Is that one of your magic tricks?
An illusion. [he is showing an unbelievable amount of restraint here and nobody will ever appreciate it.] Animating the inanimate is one of the easier ones.
Oh, well... that's okay! It made me happy. I liked talking to Catduggy! [ Even if she now knows it's him. For a little while, until Catduggery flopped over. Then she was confused. ] Um... why were you hiding?
Me too! I was super shy when I came up to your door!
[ She says, rather cheerfully! Admittedly she still is, always working up the courage to pop by the bridge for each visit. The amount of time she takes to do that seems to be gradually getting shorter. And she's managed to fight back the nerves once she gets going with hundreds of mundane questions... ]
Hee hee. That's good. [ Fiddles a bit with the crane in her palm. She should probably go back and start stringing together the last few origami, even though she definitely has more questions to ask him. ]
...Can I have your crane? [ Unless he wants to try making another one! ] I've gotta get back to working on my project.

Trinity.
[nailed it
a pause.] When you've finished yours, may I borrow it for a moment?
no subject
[ What for? She forgets to ask, focusing on completing her crane. Does a few more creases, folds out the wings, and then she's done.
Holds out her finished crane. ] Here!

Animating the inanimate. [ She parrots. Hmmm... ]
...
Were you the one that made Catduggy move when I first visited?
no subject
...
yeah it takes like a few moments beyond even that.]
... Maybe.
no subject
...So it was you! But how come I didn't see you? [ Thinks about how Sparkles hid in her shadow... ] Were you hiding in the shadows?
no subject
Maybe.
[how the fuck does she know how the fuck does she know]

She laughs. ]
Wow, I thought Catduggy really was trying to talk to me for the longest time! [ Until now. ] You got me pretty good.

As I said, I was uncertain of what to do. [so, he did what he's good at.]
no subject
Was it also 'cause you were being shy?
no subject
I suppose.
