Hard to believe

Seiko herself was struggling with the opposite problem. Her instinct was to close herself off from this interaction, to shy away and dive into the shadows. To keep her expression neutral, revealing nothing about herself, or her intentions... but she'd come here to socialize, hadn't she? Somehow she had to seem less closed-up. Tried to relax her expression a little, to seem a little more relaxed. Not that she was one to really smile often - or at all - but the stranger's personality was just so warm and friendly that it wasn't all that hard to manage a tiny, barely-noticeable smile. It didn't last long, but it appeared, as plain as day - like a faint hint of sunlight peeking out from behind storm clouds.

His understanding of her name really wasn't all that far off. Regardless of which name he called her, she wouldn't be overly offended. She'd learned most wolves didn't use their usernames in the same way her family did. Seiko merely nodded. "Does all your family have wings?" Seiko blurted out, still apparently transfixed on that strange feature of his. It was hardly a polite question but it was hard to stop herself. Her time here, with Akito and her brother, would be brief and she was determined to learn as much as she could before they headed back home.

"The Armada? You live far north, right?" Seiko continued her line of questioning, hungry for answers that she wouldn't be quite so willing to give in return. All at once she realized that she was likely being overbearing, and she leaned back slightly, shifting her weight from one side to the other.
