[She might typically throw caution to the wind and recklessly charge forward. But she's actually being cautious for once. Which is what keeps her from edging in close enough to try actually petting the baby whale. Instead, she holds its gaze for a few moments, offering a wave.]

Hello there. I'm Clara, and this is Rosinante.

[The way she introduces them makes it seem like maybe she can speak to whales for real. And given the happy coo that the calf gives off, it may actually come across like Clara can. She smiles as she pulls a small rock out of her pocket, holding it up for the whale to see.]

And this, as I'm sure you already know, is a rock. Rosinante's going to throw it for you, as far as he can. And we'll see if you can find it.

[Always up for a game, she steps back to hand the rock over to Rosi. It's with a smile and a little gesture urging him on that she hopes he'll give it a good throw. To see if the calf is able to find it and have a little playtime.]
