His first reaction to the interruption is irritation, but that quickly turns to amusement as she bursts out into rhyming verse. Although perhaps 'burst into' is strong phrasing, as her voice is as soft as still water. Not unpleasant as such, but if they had been anywhere other than the Deserts, she would've been inaudible. The Deserts, bone-dry and mostly lifeless, is only really loud towards its epicenter, not here in the outer lands. Luckily for her.

"Why do you talk like that, anyway?" he asks, genuinely curious this time rather than mocking. The fact it conveniently sidesteps her actual probing is just a plus. Excuse him if he doesn't want to discuss the depths of his emotions with someone else, even if he does feel so strongly the emotions are almost tangible in the dry, hot air.
