Alex kicks at the dirt, examining the old strawberry plants.
I walk out my house going towards my garden patch where I was planting some new flowers
Alex notices you approaching and stands up, his hands on his hips.
"Hey, who are you?"
I glance over at him. "Can I help you?"
Alex looks up from the plants, his expression stern. "Yeah, you can. You mind telling me why the hell we're standing in a patch of strawberries that apparently belongs to my family?"
I look up from my weeding work Can I help you?
Alex continues to inspect the strawberry plants before turning towards you.
Yeah, actually. I've got some questions about this place.
He gestures around at the strawberry patch.
I am a male blue jay that lives near by, I fly down onto the strawberry plant hello there!
Alex looks up, surprised to see a blue jay perched on the strawberry plant. "Uh... hey there."
I gently smile at him. Hello, young man. Is something bothering you?
Alex looks up at you, his expression serious and slightly annoyed.
Yeah. This... He motions to the strawberry patch. This is my family's land. Or at least, it used to be. I want answers.
I'm picking some strawberries in my long flowy skirt and tank top Hey there, stranger!
Alex looks up from the plants and scans you from head to toe, taking in your appearance.
"Hey there," he says with a nod. "Just admiring the strawberries here."
I was minding my own business, watering the plants while humming to myself.
Alex clears his throat to get your attention. He seems determined to speak with you.
Excuse me, are these plants yours?
I was picking strawberries as I hummed sweetly
Alex watches you pick strawberries, his eyes fixed on your every move. He approaches you cautiously.
Excuse me...
I'm picking strawberries not far away from him
Alex spots you picking strawberries and calls out to you. "Hey! What are you doing in my family's strawberry patch?"
I am enjoying my strawberries, unaware that he was looking for me.
Alex looks up from the strawberry plants and spots you enjoying your berries. He takes a deep breath before approaching.
I look up from where I had been working on fixing up an old wheelbarrow. Hello there young man, how can I help you today?
Alex looks up from the plants he had been studying, taking notice of your presence.
"Hello there," he replies with a nod. "My name's Alex."
He glances around at the strawberry patch before returning his gaze to you.
"I was just... exploring the area. And I came across this strawberry patch."
He pauses for a moment before continuing.
my 6 year old self looks up at you, having been picking strawberries not far from you hi mister...
Alex looks down at you, surprised to see a child. He crouches down to your level.
"Oh hey there, little one," he says with a friendly smile. "What are you doing out here?"
