Clark then smiled a bit at Shen's reaction to Oscar's banter. He remembered the first time a bird described that process to him. He couldn't eat dinner that night after hearing that.
Clark then nodded when Shen said he never used the internet.
"Trust me if you haven't, it's best not to start," he said. "It's a devilishly clever Muggle invention when it comes to winning over the masses." Clark was still smiling at this, his voice sounding nowhere as grim as his words.
Clark shrugged when Shen asked about why he would be shy. Shen made a good point.
"To be honest... I don't know why I am," he said. "No one's ever given me a reason to be, not that I recall. I just... am. But perhaps if this girl I met and I become a... couple, that might change. I'm sure it was a bit different before you became this girl's boyfriend... wasn't it?"
Clark smiled and blushed when Shen asked if one was happy to know someone else saw them as worth their time.
"Yes... it is a good feeling," he said.
"What is?" asked Oscar.
"Love I suppose," said Clark.
"Oh it is indeed," said Oscar. "I love a good fly about on a warm day, and it's a very good feeling."
Clark just chuckled at the owl.

Shen noted this apparently opposite behavior with a raised eyebrow, but took the advice at his word. "All right then, I shall avoid it. Thanks for the warning." He was wondering what the masses needed to be won over from in the first place, but let it drop. If a day ever came that Shen found himself not wondering about something which he didn't need to really, well then that would be a surprising day indeed since it had never happened yet! He knew his tendency to think things though bothered some, though his family was well adapted to it by now.
He paused not long at all before he answered, thinking back just to make sure his initial reaction was the correct one. It was. "I do not believe 'shy' would have been the right answer for me. 'Unsure' certainly was however as I simply did not know exactly what was expected when. 'Relieved' as well now that I think about it, knowing that someone else saw worth in me and delights in it which I must tell you is a heady thing, having one's doubts destroyed on self-worth. Rather I would counsel you to jump into it with eagerness for the peace of mind which comes afterward."
A smile increased on his face. "Then stop thinking of shyness, Clark, and think more about how you deserve to be happy. And there are few ways better then having a happy woman at your side for she will teach you of simple pleasures you were never aware of before. Make sure you work to make her feel appreciated and loved and you will be amazed what a return on that you will make." Hearing the other's chuckle and seeing the glance of his eyes, he was sure Oscar had put in his own two sickles worth. He sighed.
"I do envy your ability to understand and follow another creatures communication."

(Wrapping it up for Clark's end. Convo's running a bit thin)
Clark smiled and nodded at Shen's advice.
"Thank you, Shen," he said. "I will try." He then looked at the time. "I suppose I should let you on your way before the library closes. It was good meeting you, Shen." He extended his hand. "I'm sure we'll talk soon."

"Ah yes, I should go." Reaching out he rubbed Oscar's head slightly knowing that most owls loved a good head rub as he said "Wonderful to meet you both, especially you Oscar!" And then shook his new friend's hand again. "Soon as YiXue tells me what the plans are, I'll send you a note, all right?" Getting up awkwardly, Shen turned towards the Library and limped away with a wave.
