[ He blinks, then grins, shaking his head and holding up his (presently empty) hands. ]
Hey, do I look like that kind of person? If that's what I was after, I'd ask you politely first.
[ He has no tail, which is about his usual if he's not going full on deer-centaur. This triple is back to being low key for him, his skin reactive to touch in a lingering show of small dots of bioluminescence, but nothing else overt. ]
Plus, who doesn't want to spend time with their friends? Fluffy tails or not.
[ Definitely smiling, and he means it as a compliment—all things considered, her tail is appreciably fluffy, right?—though it all comes out a bit silly and teasing. He lowers his hands, still smiling. ]
Did you volunteer for this on your own, or did a friend bring you into it?
[ that bioluminescence is mesmerizing; she can hardly look away, even if it's rude to stare. but she snaps out of her trance and jovially laughs along with him. ]
True enough, on all accounts.
[ her eyes dart to the side, not an indicator of a dishonest response but something like shame nonetheless. she's made peace with it, but she doesn't exactly love it. ]
I don't think a friend would have-- It wasn't my first choice. But I'm happy to help raise money for charity, and I think it's nice that we get to choose where we go for our dates. It doesn't feel bad.
[ not that he'd mind the staring. in more bored moments, he's absolutely drawn on himself, written on himself, and spent way too long in the bath tracing whatever came to mind across the canvas of his skin, so. you know. he gets it. ]
Ah... yeah, that's uh. That's important.
[ he's rubbing at the back of his neck, not entirely sure why it feels like he stepped on someone's tail, so to speak. ]
A friend signed me up, but he told me about it, at least. This whole thing looks like it's been a success though, right?
[ he nods toward part of the nearby crowd, easing back into a more natural smile. ]
This many people, just the cost for tickets should get that memorial built.
[ he has no real idea. shino only learned to account for his own spending when he ended up here alone with no one to help him track it at all. households are way not easy to keep running, and he's not even paying rent... ]
[ She shouldn't dwell on it being an odd scenario. Not in the presence of friends, anyway. ]
I think... if it's for the people and their memorial, I'd sign up willingly again. I can only hope that our games will lead to the best for the people of this world.

Yeah. Me too. They're the ones who have to keep on living here no matter what, after all.
