Kai could understand introspection, sure, but he was admittedly bad at empathizing with others in many regards. Crying was not something he'd ever personally done, and the number of scenarios that might warrant it were few and far between. It was hard to see a stranger crumpled in the sand and not think oddly of them - it wasn't as though he didn't understand emotion, but just not... like this. His nose wrinkled as he leaned down to nudge her, not too roughly but firmly enough for his touch to be noticed, though he quickly shot backwards when she sprung up.

He squinted hard as sand flung onto his coat and into his eyes, exhaling hard from his nose in an attempt to keep it from sneaking into his nostrils. Kai made no effort to slacken his posture, head jerking upright as his tusks angled straight toward her, his grey tail lashing out idly behind him. After a moment she answered him, though not in the way he had expected. He fought the urge to roll his eyes at her poetic words, instead eyeing her scrupulously from behind narrowed lids. "Can they exhaust so much that you can't possibly find the energy to leave this beach?" He asked, a hint of a grin touching his lips. He was teasing, rather than suggesting she had any real reason to leave... she had as much claim to this stretch of beach as he did.

His comment was all in good fun, really, but he quickly shook his head. "Ah, never mind, it doesn't matter," he suggested dismissively, quirking a brow as he noted her wary posture. "I won't bite, I assure you," Kai volunteered with a hearty chuckle, that slight hint of his family's native tongue sneaking through into his tones. "Tell me, does this burdened beauty have a name?" She was far too young for him but he didn't mind throwing out a compliment, grinning more widely now as he examined her pale coat.
