Regardless of what Mari might have been thinking, there were two reasons that she couldn't have said the wrong thing in this situation. The first was the fact that he was treating the conversation lightly and would probably have taken everything as a joke at this point. The second was the more serious one.<br/><br/>It was, of course, the fact that he had been doing his best to collect further information on what was up about her.<br/><br/>"No, I guess that I wouldn't think that someone who was like you would work at a nightclub, but what does it really matter? Everyone does like their own thing, right?"<br/><br/>With a laugh, he looked back up toward her as his hair shifted ever so slightly with the motions of his head. "Cushion your fall off a skateboard? That sounds whack! But, yeah, like I'd catch you if you did start to fall you know."<br/><br/>Finally rolling his eyes, Nanook turned toward her. He didn't want to say the real reasons that he didn't wear protective equipment. Of course, as a werewolf, he didn't exactly have to worry about much if he had gotten hurt.<br/><br/>He could always have recovered from just about any sort of injury, so the entire thing seemed like a non-issue to him.<br/><br/>Nonetheless, he soon refocused what he was saying and looked her over with a bit of a nod.<br/><br/>"Well, I could get you a helmet and pads if that would make you feel any better."<br/><br/>Finally chuckling, he turned back toward the sunshine for the time being. Through LA's smog, though, it didn't look nearly as untarnished as all the movies made it look.<br/><br/>"If you've ever seen Lords of Dogtown, it makes LA look so much more rad than it really is. It's like totally the dumps!"
