Hey, Mewtwo, I'm back in town. Is our date still on?

[And that's all she needs to say there. She's sure someone will find that interesting aside from the cat, but that's the one she's looking for. Be...sides that though, she's got other matters to attend to. Or well, rather, an experiment to run.]

[Yeah, walking. What's he supposed to do during the day, stay inside? And that hair of yours is hardly easy to miss.

--just give him a half second to take in this scenario. Interesting.

don't mind him, grumbling something about frostbite and fairness at the air]

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

[Oh she'll get it too. ...If she keeps her skin strictly human. Being able to shift the cells to partially Tallusin helps because this weather is like a very, very warm day for them. ...It's a copious balance, so it's harder than it looks. There isn't much of a physical showing though, other than a hard edge in her eyes.

That said, she doesn't look up at him]

[one_green_eye]

[If only he knew the layers of interesting...

As it is, a deadpan.] You seem to be new around here.

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

New? [...] I guess so, but what is here?

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

Luceti.

[goes on, in the same drawl] It's a magical country; very similar to being kept as a pet. Everyone is fed regularly, the housing is nice...

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

[Still acting stumped, but getting herself out of the cold a little. Or at least the snow. Also a flare of irritation comes on to her face]

A pet? Magic? Real descriptive.

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

Yep. [a slow exhale of smoke]

Experience is a pretty good teacher, too.

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

What are you even talking about?

[Complete with her teeth starting to chatter at the end]

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

I lost track.

What're you doing sitting in the snow?

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

I don't know.

[To her credit, this act is convincing. The only thing really "off" is of course that this voice and face are the same one you've been conversing with previously]

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

[His thoughts exactly -- which completely mystifies. Which looks a bit like cheerful, on Ginko, curious being one of his preferred emotions.]

Really.

-- well that's a new one. [he can't rule out the possibility of an experiment or trolling (he rather has her marked for the latter). But on the chance, the area immediately surrounding her will get quite a bit warmer-- enough to even melt the snow. He can't help it.]

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

Look, I've got no objection to a chat, but mind pointing me to where I can get in from the cold? [Wait, glance around, confused - maybe a little fear on her face but "fear" looks like "annoyance" to fit character - and then... oh, buildings just a ways off]

Like there- [Nod to the center of town] We allowed there?

[ action ]

[one_green_eye]

[a nods, looking in that direction] Yeah. That's the village.

Think you can make it without getting lost? [he says, already shifting toward the direction. Sigh .... and sometimes curiosity is just a bitch.]

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

I hope so. Sure doesn't look complicated.

[And at that, she starts to march towards town. Shivering a little at this point, but otherwise looking focused, determined in a sense.]

Re: [ action ]

[one_green_eye]

It isn't. Especially in winter. It's a small village-- even if the forest is sizable. [aaand he's going to follow, until she gets there. Just in case. because he's been wrong about things one too many times, before.]

[ action ]

[compos_mentis]

[Shooouldn't take too long. Even if she has the ability to flux out Tallusin cells to her advantage, she can still feel the cold, and it's obnoxious and a little painful. No need to press it that long, so she picked a spot closer to entering any of the shops quicker]

There is a point in this conversation where I got clothes?
