Alta
*She would order something similar, opting for the dark meat instead of cheese.*
"No meat in a meal makes me sick to think about, I'll be honest..."
*Ikehara confessed with a sigh, rubbing her temples as the heat waxed and waned.*
Vanessa
"Can't say it's the first I've heard something like that."*He'd say more casually, relaxing back in his seat.*"But you can probably guess I've met a lot of meat eaters during travels."
Alta
"You don't eat meat? Kemonomimis can't live without it, simply due to their biology. One of the old scholars explained it in detail to me once, but I'd fallen asleep halfway through it..."
*She chuckled, scratching her cheek with a sharp finger - accidentally drawing a dew of blood.*
**"By the Gods alive,** Ow..."
Vanessa
"It's not a favorite of mines."*He'd say in response.*"Most find it hard to believe, but it's all just a preference anyways. I'm sure you weren't missing much in lessons. I paid attention all through magic school and hadn't learned a thing."*He'd let out a half-hearted laugh, his gaze soon shifting over to her as she'd accidentally claw herself.*"Cut yourself?"*He'd ask more casually.*
Alta
"Yeah... Never got used to these, especially after learning this thing."
*She replied with a mild exasperation, gesturing to her wolven fingernails - their sheen like ivory in the low light - then patting her crossbow.*
"I remember you mentioning magic school. You were an apprentice, then?"
Vanessa
*He'd tilt his head a bit in curiosity.*"Can you sheathe them?"*He'd ask, figuring there were at least some out there with the ability to. The Silnari of course wasn't sure if that applied to ever person with animal ears, but it was worth asking anyways. Terrel would take a moment to think over her question, soon saying:*"Yeah for a while, but swordsmanship happened to come much easier to me."
