She gave a noncommittal noise here and a monosyllabic interjection there - all to show that she was paying attention as they scouted the terrain. As expected, her gait was noisy; armor would do that to a person. Between that and the crunching of her snack, it was surprising she heard anything at all. The metallic<em>clink</em>and<em>clank</em>of each step was a comfort to her ears and despite the bulk and weight, Kari seemed to walk comfortably and confidently. She turned in time to see him wink. She had never been winked at by a lizard before.<br/><br/>Kakariki smiled at his flirtations.<strong>"Tall, dark, and dusty. My kind of m-"</strong>she stumbled on the word, but she had already started to say it. Not one to leave something undone, she followed through.<strong>"Man?"</strong>Was that an insult? She wondered if<em>reptile</em>would be more appropriate. Would that be a socially acceptable thing to say? Instead of trying to think of a clever quip, she should have just ignored his comment on the women. She had no intentions of indulging in any romantic situations, so why bother with the banter?<br/><br/><strong><em>'Because it's fun,'</em></strong>she thought without apology.<br/><br/>The shield maiden began gathering up her hair to put into a pony tail, giving her hands a distraction. What was good etiquette when speaking with a Faunus? She really had no idea - she could count on one hand the times she had socialized with a Faunus. They were just a rare sighting where she had grown up. After a long moment, she had a brilliant idea.<br/><br/><strong>"Before I make it weird, let me know if I got into taboo territory. Contrary to popular opinion, I do have a filter."</strong>True, she chose not to use that filter more often than not, but she couldn't afford to screw up the development of their partner dynamic. She had known Auro for... what, a grand total of ten minutes now? She was not qualified to make a judgement on his personality or how he would take something. It was better to be direct and keep the air clear and Kakariki could be counted on to be professional about it.
