Educated, huh. A funny way of saying well-informed as if there ever was one.

And things will go from bad to worse before they ever stand a chance of getting better--

Just his luck. If the first day alone was any indication of how things were to proceed around here, Snake had no doubt in his mind that there would be nothing but the worst to look forward to from now on. Though, in Eve's dubious defense, she didn't appear to be openly mocking, stiffly cordial, or even repulsed given the rather strange subject matter. It almost felt refreshing; nonjudgmental, patient, traits he'd only come to expect and appreciate in close friends like Otacon.
As if it could really be understood.

Maybe that was what he was foolishly hoping when he agreed to meet the girl, though it was secondary to his resolve to set the matter straight. It was nerve-wrecking enough that yet another charismatic blowhard with delusions of grandeur had taken Big Boss' name, but Snake honestly had not expected a maneuver like this.

All the more reason to make our ( ... )

She gazed over to the man, not surprised at all when she found that he really did look like Big Boss. After all, she did show a striking resemblance to Tearju Lunatque. Besides, Eve was hardly repulsed by him. He was like her after all. She paused, eyes flickering over him.

"It doesn't matter. I like it out here." Well, at least she liked it much better than the base. (She really, really hated the base.) Eve smiled at him slightly, trying to show some form of friendliness. It wouldn't do her any good to be a complete ass now would it?

That was something they could agree on. Snake considered her for a moment before glancing upwards at treetops and the fleeting light that trickled through them. He could hear the distinct, shrill chirping of cicadas from somewhere not too far off and, from somewhere far closer, the sound of a small animal shifting through underbrush.

Supernatural claims notwithstanding, it was easy to see what one meant when they talked about the forest having a life of its own.

"It's peaceful," He agreed. In spite of his inward caution and wary assessment, he visibly relaxed and folded his arms, eyes shifting back down to concentrate on Eve's red ones. "Though I doubt people have a chance to appreciate that."

He tilted his head, cracking his neck sharply.

"The ghost stories don't compliment it."

"Indeed. The newcomers tend to be especially preoccupied." Eve allowed herself to relax, slightly tensed muscles relaxing, but only a little. Mildly paranoid, yes, but since when was that suck a bad thing in a place like this. "They aren't stories, actually." He'd learn soon enough, the girl was sure of that much.

"So." She paused, seemed to almost waver for a moment. It wasn't as if Eve has ever had this sort of conversation before. "You're a clone as well-?" Something along the lines of that at least.

There we go. It seemed someone didn't like small-talk. Fine by him; he was never a good conversationalist when on edge anyway.

"That's a blunt way to put it," He replied simply, tone devoid of any emotion above cool neutrality, neither confirming or denying her question. It wasn't like he was anymore accustomed to talking about this than she was, though he could never imagine approaching the subject with anything less than distanced stoicism. It was an obviously personal issue and, if it had been asked four years ago, he imagined it would be given a far colder, pained response instead of the mildly curious headtilt he gave to Eve.

"Though I suppose it's better than the multitude of other things that could be said in substitution."

He'd take the technical term over freak any day, and he didn't doubt the girl would share his sentiments if she was telling the truth.

Didn't make it any less awkward, though.

Really, Eve was a rather shitty conversationalist. Getting to the point was far greater than beating around the bush in her opinion. She treated him with nearly the same neutrality. Cold, but hardly judgmental. "What, did you expect me to call you a freak of nature?"

She paused, seeming to be mildly irritated at the term. "You're not anything like that and neither am I. Like you said, you're human."
