If Áki was good at anything, it was living in the moment, in the now. It was easy to feed off the energy that was emanated by others, and to shift his demeanor accordingly. This woman was carefree, perhaps to the point of being childish, but it brought a smile to his face nonetheless. Being serious all the time was far too boring - life was meant to live, to enjoy, and he was happy to be around others who understood that like he did. "Perhaps we'd better race when we make it back to the ground," he suggested with a teasing snort. "I wouldn't want you pushing me down there," he would joke, gesturing to the pool of lava below. It was unlikely the smaller girl could actually push her in, but it didn't stop him from joking about it.
The brute was content to shrug away all conversation regarding his tusks, or teeth, or whatever they were. Only when he'd come to Alacritia had it become a focus of conversation, a strange thing for him, though things here were.. definitely quite different. "Well, Ashe, it is a pleasure to have met you," he spoke earnestly as he moved a few steps away from her, his crimson gaze sweeping the rocky terrain he had found himself in. "Perhaps you'd be inclined to join me for a bit longer?" he suggested with a slight tilt of his head. "I feel like exploring a bit more of this place."
