rude but sort of funny

Erwin wakes up gender neutral by the sound of a feminine knock.
"Erwin?" like a door calling their name.
Erwin stares with unfocused eyes at the south-western corner of the room, bringing pause to the conversation in order to accept their current situation: that they are no longer unconscious and they must now speak with another person, the worst thing that could happen happening by the thing they hate the most.
"Yes," Erwin's voice offers no personality.
"Are you sleeping?"
Erwin checks the time, it's 11:11AM. Outside their window, Erwin sees a Fawn and it's mother eating shrubbery in the backyard.
"Holy shit!" Erwin can't take their eyes off it. They've lived in North Philly their whole life, and have never seen wildlife before.
"What?"
"Deer!"
"What?"
"There's like, deer."
The new roommate enters the room and Erwin covers their body with a blanket.
"Should we call animal services?"
"Honestly," Erwin is unsure, "maybe they're from the park."
"You don't think they're just out there, do you?"
the pair of deer pause in their direction, afraid.
"No, I doubt  it."
