It wasn't necessarily weird to talk to someone who wasn't looking, Avery just happened to startle easily. "Victoria is a very regal name, but yeah I bet as a kid it's hard to pronounce." Avery did not talk about her childhood often, if at all. And certainly not with strangers, no matter how nice they seemed to be. But that didn't mean she discouraged other people from talking about their own childhood experiences. She smiled at her warmly, leaning back against the fence again.

"I don't think I've ever met an animal I didn't like either. Spiders don't count, they're alien beasts." Which she firmly believed. There was no way spiders weren't some kind of hideous monster. She had a huge fear of them. "Ollie's my sister. Well, sorta. They adopted me." Avery did, however, love to talk about her adopted family, and she thought Ollie was great.

Avery had a hard time imagining creepy animals, having never encountered any truly creepy ones herself (aside from Spiders which she was not counting as an animal). "Yeah, a lot of people naturally gravitate to what is cute but there's something to love about... all animals, in some respect."
