Oh great. He didn't like it either. Rin frowned deeply, she must be the worst gift giver ever. This makes her 0 for 2 with the man. Still, she tentatively tried to clarify a little, "When you squeeze it. It whistles a little birdy tune. There's no birds on the island I've seen so I kinda had to... ... well... let's just say the whistling is more human than bird."

His brows furrowed as he gave the thing an experimental squeeze, gently trying to feel through the stuffing for any devices inside. "How did you...?"

He would eventually feel something flat and possibly plastic and if he squeezed both sides together, sure enough a familiar-sounding voice began to whistle a happy little tune; though a bit slow and distorted, "Uh... if I told you. I think I'd get in trouble."

'Thank you," He said quietly, turning the small doll over in his hands after listening to the wobbling whistle.

Rin looked hopeful again. He seemed to like this a lot more than he did the top hat at least. That is a win, right? A small win? She pointed at the chocolate she gave him before, "And that's an aero. They're amazingly delicious."

He looked the picture of the chocolate bar on the wrapper over, his mouth trembling a moment before twisting into a forced smile, "Thanks. These are... these are great. The bird is... impressive." He managed, holding both gifts to his chest, "I just... need some alone time."

Rin finally conceded and offered the man a nod and pensive smile, "Alright Jerry, but no more acting suspicious okay? I swear to god if you start giving your things away I'm having them strap you to a bed in the infirmary, m'kay?"

Jerry's face went red, and he laughed weakly, "I'll... I'll be fine. I'll be fine I just... need to sort things out. Is all. I'll be fine." When he realized he was repeating himself, he blinked heavily before turning to hobble away, "I'll... I'll see you around. Um, thank you."

When you said something that many times in the same statement, chances were that it wasn't true... Still, She stayed put and watched quietly as he wandered off, "You know it Jerry, real soon. It's a promise."
She lingered in the hallway a bit longer before finally heading back to the labs to finish her work.
