[ This would probably be far more endearing if she didn't look so severely inconvenienced by this. Like a Disney princess that doesn't want these birds tittering at her, maybe.
And, well. Since he's not enough of sadist to stand by and watch a girl be harassed by birds: ] ...Sorry in advance.
[ That's the only warning he gives, before he reaches out and forces the lightest static electricity against the bird chewing at her sleeve. She might feel it too, but it shouldn't be more than a split-second inconvenience. ]
[ Ah. Well, he was definitely hoping for too much if he thought he could just walk away from this without providing any sort of explanation as to what he did.
So, after a beat of silence wherein he wonders how best to explain this, he offers: ] Electricity. [ Wow, how incredibly... informative... except no, this isn't helpful at all, let him append. ] It's an ability that I have. Not exactly conventional, but it works.
[She does know what that was. She read up on it. But she hadn't heard of anyone being able to just...release it from their hands!
She looks him up and don.]
Is this sort of power normal where you come from? [Look who's not acting as grumpy because SUDDENLY SOMETHING INTERESTING IS HAPPENING>] How does it work?
[ He says, without missing a beat. But he also acknowledges that his affiliations don't have any power here, so his vow of silence also seems a bit moot; another beat later, and he makes yet another addendum. ]
But, no. My powers aren't normal. They were given to me.
[Well, Changge can understand that. She has her own secrets she doesn't want to give out.][Smiling comes naturally to her not because she is good natured. Smiling is a learned skill meant to disarm and make things smoother. So her smile is reflexive (and also kind of odd in the way that it revealed nothing of her opinion on things) when she adds,] Or is that also confidential?
[Don't expect her apparent good cheer to last. The bird is still close by enough to make a nuisance of itself.]
[Well, now. She hadn't expected that. She blinks briefly, before shaking her head.]
I wouldn't dream of doing anything like that. It would be awfully rude, don't you think?
[Ugh. Those birds. Having not special abilities, she just bends over to pick up a couple of rocks and throw it at the bird's heads. She has pretty good aim, this girl.]

What are you--
[She cuts herself off when she feels the jolt and she jerks back at the same time the bird squawks and lets go of her.
She looked shocked (ha), then suspicious as she rubbed at her arm.]
What was that?

Sorry, for the late reply. I was sick.

no problem at all! ♥ don't worry about it!
[ Which he hopes isn't part of her prerogative. That would make this very awkward, wouldn't it.
Speaking of awkward... Now both birds are pecking at Adolf because of his rude electroshock?! Thanks, birds. ]
<3! Also...part of my tag disappeared. What happened to 'how were they given to you?' go...?
