[He lets out a little snort as he follows her, climbing back into the passenger seat of the car. This feels... nice? He'd like to say it feels normal, but he isn't delusional. He doesn't know what qualifies as normal, so for all he knows this pit stop is still completely abnormal.
However, Accelerator at least feels relatively sure that this is nice. Spending time with someone he likes (he's deciding that in this moment, that he likes Root), seeing his first instance of how amazing nature can be, eating food that normal people eat instead of vague nutritional garbage... maybe there's a better word for it, but right now he's content with 'nice.']
Okay. [He looks curious as to why it's special, but it could just be because her boss picked it out.] I'll try.
[Accelerator is serious about that. Even if he doesn't understand why it's special it's still important, and he doesn't want to screw up his newfound freedom by treating his new fake name poorly.]
[ Root would call it domestic. Which is something she normally abhors, but in this context, rescuing a supremely dangerous teenage boy from dehumanizing exploitation as a favor to her god, she's enjoying herself. It tweaks her sense of rebellious irony to be practicing domesticity with Accelerator, anyway, who has no doubt never been subject to it. ]
A small little brown bird, extremely common in North America -- and extremely inconspicuous. [ Root is not a fan of birds, but it's impossible to miss that Harold is, so she's of course looked up all the types of birds he uses for his identities just to see if there's any meaning there. For Wren, there was.
She starts up the car, this time plugging in her phone and handing it off to her passenger, music app pulled up on the screen. ]

A wren's a bird, right?
