[ from here ]

[ he isn't the type to be rude to people and when he's bowed to by her, he does the action back out of being polite. for as boisterous and rowdy as he could be, he wasn't mean in spirit. so there was no reason not to respond back to her gesture in kind. ]

Oh, you're familiar with Japan? [ this makes him beam brightly ] I am Japanese. Does that mean you are, too?

[ it's kind of reassuring if that's another thread they have in common. another thing to tie them together. it's not that he would mind people from other places, but sometimes there are things with cultural nuances that can get lost in translation or don't apply across the board.

he doesn't even really think about the idea that she might be from a "different Japan" and instead just takes comfort that they're from the same place. it should be an obvious fact given the place they were was operating strangely, but it just isn't something he was going to automatically jump to. ]

[ there's something about the way that he reacts that has her laughing to herself softly. it's hard to put a finger one but it's something about him that reminds her of someone else she knows. someone that she isn't entirely certain if she should see here or not. there's comfort in knowing others here but also worry about what it will mean nevertheless her smile doesn't falter and neither does her pleasantness. ]

I am. [ she fidgets a bit, again, smoothing out her clothing a bit before pressing her hands back together. ] Looks like that's just one more thing that we have in common. I wonder what else we could find out that's the same.

[ and it might be a fun way to get to know one another...? ]

Do you want to take a walk together and see if there is more?

[ he wouldn't mind keeping more company with her, since her disposition felt calming to him. also, the prospect of finding out if they had more in common was a very nice idea.

if she wasn't interested in getting to know him now, at least she seemed amiable to the idea of getting to know each other better eventually. she could even be his first friend in this place. ]

It might be nice to have company to see what this place has to offer.

[ for a half a moment she falters before recovering quickly. ]

O, oh... [ it was such an easy question and one that anyone could see coming and yet it still catches her a little off guard. she had approached him and made conversation—thought about getting to know him better and yet... ] I'm fine with that; we can walk together.

[ she settles into a more confident smile and not as nervous disposition. even though their conversation had gone this direction, she hadn't expected him to say it so plainly. it was nice to have someone just say things as they were, however. ]

It won't be long before we're allowed to be on our own, I feel. [ as though they aren't already left alone all things considered. ] Are you going to explore more high places or will you keep your eyes closer to the ground?

[ his head tilts a little at the way she falters a bit, but doesn't try to read into it too much. while he does worry about her obvious nervous hiccup there, if something's wrong, hopefully she'll either say it or it'll work itself out eventually with them talking more. ]

It probably depends on whatever we see once we're properly released here.

[ with a massive drop like this, he couldn't resist peering over the edge and he can't make any promises that if he's thrown in another place with a great view he won't scope it out. but he will try to heed her warning about being careful earlier and apply it to further situations. ]

I don't want to possibly miss something interesting.

[ he'll nod his head in one direction, indicating a direction for them to stroll away from the area that they're in and starts to take a few paces. nothing fast and making sure she'll be able to keep up. ]

[ he doesn't have to worry about her keeping up with him since she'll be only a few steps behind him. it might be a little strange that she won't keep a perfect pace with him while capable of it, if anything, he could note how precisely and perfectly she remains two steps behind his one. perhaps, in a way, as timing things between them.

she laces her fingers behind her back as she considers the last thing he mentioned. ]

What would you consider as interesting?

[ since, you know, that is very telling in a person right from the gate. some people lived for simpler things like watching birds or reading books... what kind of things was he interested in? ]

[ that pacing is something that he'll notice, but won't comment on. people have their different idiosyncrasies and as long as someone isn't hurting anyone with what they do, he has no reason to comment on it or question why. he will, however, shoot a smile back at her. ]

Mm... I think a lot of things could be interesting. [ he laughs a little, rubbing his neck some, realizing how vague that sounds. ]

Even if a situation or place could seem boring, there's always something that could be made interesting.

[ by that statement, it should be obvious that he's the type that makes a lot of his own fun when he's with people, that he likes to see people laugh and enjoy themselves. even if she doesn't quite mean that, the point is that interesting things can be found anywhere and he isn't about to turn away from a situation, just in case there's something to be found there. ]
