Oh, apparently, he seems to have hit a nerve with the comment on bites – half expecting her not to answer, he averts his gaze to the beach they’re walking along. Before long, however, she’s piping up and his attention flickers somewhere between her and the sands. The fact that she hasn’t bit anyone does surprise him, wondering how long she’s been Ascended for and if it would ever be something she considered. But no, he doesn’t know her well enough to ask the reasons why she might not indulge in such a way.

He knows it’s her first trip outside of the Grounds – she’d told him as much. As for the rest of it, however, he spends a moment running his tongue along his teeth, gathering his thoughts before he inhales a bit sharply and glances over at her and decides to just go for it anyway. “How long have you been Ascended?” He hopes it’s casual enough, hoping ti doesn’t come off rude or intruding.
