As the man spoke with an edge of annoyance in his voice, Siku couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile again. She hadn't expected him to react in such a way, and this amused her. Clearly he was from somewhere very different than she; his accent and the flow of his words almost an art in comparison to her simple speech. Everything about him made her curious. The stranger seemed to be in an irritable mood, and as he questioned her intelligence the golden eyed Dahlian only shrugged and leaned against the base of the tree. Perhaps she should have been offended or feel an obligation to correct him, but it was not so.
Siku watched as the man moved to unsheathe his sword, and immediately her fur began to prickle on the back of her neck as he raised it. Yes, she had seen one before. As the light glinted off the weapon, Siku's eyes swiveled from the man's face to the sharp tipped sword and back. What was he intending to do? Siku frowned as the man inquired her name, and spoke quickly to as if to urge him into putting it away already. "Okay, okay! You don't need to whip out your sword and get all interrogative." Siku waved her hand in a motion for him to put it away just as he re sheathed it. Once it was out of sight, the woman waved again, as if to reintroduce herself. "So my name is Siku. I'm just exploring. What are you doing out here?" Siku looked down at the mans clothes pointedly, not saying anything with her mouth but still questioning the attire with her eyes. It just seemed so out of place.. He seemed out of place. Or was it she who was out of place? Siku's slender arms moved to cross in front of her chest self consciously, and she looked up to see his reply.
