She reaches out a hand and rests it on his bare shoulder as he speaks, understanding, though not pity, in her gaze. Pity does no good, but she can certainly sympathize. ”You can borrow mine, if you want,” she says with a wry grin, knowing that it does nothing to soften his loss, but figuring perhaps it can lighten the mood a bit. ”I am sorry you lost them,” she adds, softer. It hurt enough to lose one; she could not imagine losing them both.
She laughs though at this question, her eyes sparkling with their usual mischief. ”Fights, mostly. I have a tendency to dive into sticky situations.” Though she also has a tendency to avoid the ones particularly likely to kill her, knowing that though she was skilled, she was not skilled enough. ”Black markets. Sometimes boys. Boys are almost always trouble.” She winks, not necessarily meaning that she slept with them all, but they were trouble. Besides, she mostly just wanted to tease.
Her laugh is far louder at the next question though, true amusement in her voice. ”I keep asking the same question of every outsider traipsing through the portal. I do not know what brings them. Though I admit, I am biased, and I will tell you it’s not all bad if you have a good guide.” Like her. Maybe someday he’d visit her there, though she certainly doesn’t expect it or have future plans past today. Well, past today and ideally a trip out on the sea.
When he pulls out two rods though, her eyebrows raise. ”Huh. Fishing. We don’t do that.” It was too damn cold in Halo to fish, and she doubted any of the fish were the kind that would actually be caught on a line without just pulling you into a really icy death. ”You’re gonna have to show me what to do.” It’s clear that she’s more than willing to learn though.
