Kei's golden eyes narrowed at the suggestion that Merevaika presented. The sly smile she wore was not missed by his keen eyes - a benefit to being a avian Kelvic. The smile was obviously showing that there was something that she knew and Kei didn't. This sort of smile was never a good one.
As a child, seeing someone wear a smile similar to the one that Merevaika showed was always a foreshadowing of something bad to come. She was up to no good it seemed. Perhaps she wanted part of his kill? No... she was clearly more adapt at this sort of thing than Kei. She'd probably be able to score a much better catch than his. Though he did suppose that he distracted her; or rather his backpack distracted her.
Speak of which he assumed he must address her questions. It would be rude to just not respond and stare at her - his eyes always had the tendency to disturb others with their animalistic nature.
"My backpack is here only because I do not have a home. All I have is in that bag and the clothes on my back. As for the snake, I really have no need to eat the snake cooked, though it would be more desired than eating it as a bird." It wasn't obvious what this woman was trying to do, but if the signs and face were read properly, all people can be read like books. At least that was what Kei believed. It was also be easier if Kei was better at reading... oh well. The point was still there. "And also, if I didn't know any better - which I might not - it would seem that you would be very capable of taking me down," his eyes glanced quickly at Merevaika's waist, where her hand was currently making it's way towards, "It always would appear that you have another weapon that you've neglected to show me. A knife perhaps? I really don't know. All I can tell you is that you seem to know something I don't. Maybe you'd like to share with me what you're thinking?"
Kei knew that he was more than likely going to make Merevaika more embarrassed than she already seemed. It did appear earlier that she was trying to knock him down a peg, so it was only fair that he do the same, right?
NoteHaha, ahhhhhhhh this more like how I would react if I were in Kei's place, but it's close enough to how I want him to be. He'll probably be guilty for the rest of the thread. Poor baby. It was fun for me to type this, though I probably went overboard with it. Maybe a little. But I was watching Sweeney Todd while writing, so it was bound to be over done.
