otherworldly & threatening

Fuji would characterise the feeling she was getting as uncomfortable. Like gassy butterflies were building in her stomach, she could feel her skin growing warm under her fur, fuck, was she coming down with something? This close to Kiriko's due date? She had certainly never been flirted with before, the majority of her interactions limited to people she was directly related to, even her time in Armada had been spent busily tending to Halo and leaving the socialising to her younger siblings. Her mind skipped to a whole bunch of scenarios she never imagined she'd find herself in when he asked what he could do to repay her in that tone, and to prevent herself from short-circuiting entirely, she gave her horned head a short shake, certain he hadn't meant anything like that at all. “Fight me once yer've had some rest,” He was bigger than she was (who wasn't?) It might be fun... “Or yer can help me find some plants,” She shrugged. Nothing if not practical.

His next words had her wondering if perhaps her initial thoughts weren't so wild, or maybe he was just teasing her, so she scowled and shoved him in the ribs, hoping the crystals that sat around her neck gave him a good poking. While it could be amusing to call up Usagi or even Erik and Morganna to watch him, she decided she might as well take one for the team, just this once. “O'course, th' lady 's expectin'. Can't jus' have strangers wanderin' about unsupervised.” She punctuated her declaration with a roll of her eyes, trying to ignore the desire to pull close to the stranger again. She was borderline mesmerized, but she'd be damned if she was going to let him know that. “So're'yer from Boreas?”
