all you need is a good trap!

While they worked, he listened to her. She had stayed to help and was even partaking in conversation. So maybe he wasn't boring her after all. Kuroo had done the net tying many times so it was easy for him to do so while also glancing up at her. He smiled lightly and nodded when she admitted she wasn't much of a hunter. "Hunting is not always chasing prey down," the boy mused to himself as he looked over to the bay. "It can be made easier if you use nets or traps like this," pointing a paw at the net they were basically finished with, he took a stand before stepping away to look at their handiwork.

Before Kuroo could comment on how neat the net was, she asked if he was a strong swimmer. That almost got a laugh out of him until she mentioned drowning and her being available for 'lip to lip.' A bright blush spread across his cheeks and thank goodness his cheeks were already the color of blush. Turning his chin away so he could clear his throat, he shifted his weight nervously. Had she been insinuating that she did want to smooch him? Wasn't that a bit forward? Kuroo's brow scrunched up as his mind raced. No one had been so openly flirtatious with him...

Then she added that she was becoming a healer. A sigh of relief released the breath he had been holding as his shoulders relaxed. Chuckling to himself, he nodded as he looked back over at her. "Yes, I am a strong swimmer, perhaps one of the strongest in Tojo," Kuroo said with a sheepish smile. "Maybe you will have to come watch me fish some time to make sure I don't drown anyway," he flirted anyway, even though he realized she hadn't meant it that way. It was in his nature after all. Clearing his throat, he looked away from her and back out to the water. "Even if you aren't there to rescue me, there are quite a few healers within Tojo," he added on for good measure, in case she took his comment the wrong way.
