Kanika begins walking behind Nor. 
[color=71EEB8]"The teeth, actually. my friend Zal has them, He tried the mask thing once himself, which sort of tipped me off."[/color]

Nor's eyes narrowed at her  comment, making conscious effort to  keep his hand from checking his mask, although it was becoming increasingly obvious this wasn't Kanika's first time meeting a Faunus.

The bright haired youth said, following the grumpy teen towards the ballroom.
[color=71EEB8]"You remind me of him in other ways, too, he's a bit of a grump like you are. Oh, and a lot of my friends are Faunus, so it's no big deal."[/color]
She chatters on, going off into a tangent about her friends from Vacuo.
[color=71EEB8]"Then there was this one time Uli said he saw some sort of huge Grimm under the village, turned out it was just a really creepy rock."[/color]
the student says, [color=71EEB8]"Anyways, when do you think we get to start fighting?"[/color] she asks as they pass a mural of a huntsman fighting a King Taijitu.

Nor simply nodded along as they walked, a rumbling sigh issuing at the grumpy comment, but let it go, happy to stay silent. It was clear she didn't expect him to answer at this point, seeming to talk  to  herself more than anything else. That was fine, he'd never been the chatty sort and he figured her...bombastic attitude might dissuade others from approaching, leaving him to his thoughts

[color=71EEB8]"Ooh, haven't seen one of those before."[/color] 
she whispers, eying the illustration of the snake grimm.
[color=71EEB8]"Kind of looks like the Kuna we get in the water near the village my friends live in."[/color]
the girl adds, examining the beasts fangs within the illustration.
[color=71EEB8]"Teeth aren't quite as nasty, though. Those bastards got fangs the size of, well, me."[/color]
Kanika concludes, tracing the serpent on the tapestry with one finger before continuing on.
[color=71EEB8]"So, not from Vacuo. Vale, then?"[/color]

Nor had walked a few feet before he even realized his little technicolored trail  on a tangent bound tirade had finally stopped talking, apparently finally wanting his input in what had so far been a monolouge, taking a moment to catalogue her questions before turning around to face her as fired off answers in rapid fire, ticking each question of on a finger, [color=6ecff6]" I'm not grumpy, I'm thinking. I don't know when we fight, though common sense says it's  not  gonna be tonight as its to late,"[/color] he paused here, giving her a wary look, [color=6ecff6]"unless someone tries to start one."[/color]

The mention of marine Grimm peaked his interest, happy to have acommon topic, [color=6ecff6]"Haven't seen a Kuna in a while, they prefer the more tropical waters so they don't show up much here, but I swear there's a Leviathan, judging by the holes in a few of the ships we've checked," [/color]he told, surprised she had gotten him off on a tangent, [color=6ecff6]"and I've been in Vale  for as long  as I  can  remember, up on the North docks."[/Color]

He chuckled, [color=6ecff6]"I think that covers everything, but as a bonus, I'm also a Ares and like late night dives in case your wondering,"[/color] he finished, a teasing tone evident in the last comment, turning  his head as noise behind him caught his attention. He could hear the sounds of socializing from the Ballroom  as they approached, looking over his  shoulder to see it quickly approaching.


[color=71EEB8]"Not likely a leviathan, those things used to capsize atlesian carriers, if there was one around here a harbor team would have been dispatched to deal with it. Might be an  overgrown lamprey, they're known for going through armor plating to get to people.[/color]
she explains, locking her aqua eyes with the masked boys frosty blue.

Nor glared at her as she tried to correct his evaluation, [color=6ecff6]" I know a lamprey bite when I see one, but I some how doubt a lamprey of any size is chewing up a quarter of the port side on a level 3 Dust transporter,"[/color]he said in a tone of voice one uses when there restraining themselves, [color=6ecff6]"especially not for the money the Schnee spend on the damn things."[/color] Just the thought of dealing with that company left a slimy feeling, but the money that came from recovering a shipment dust was too good,to pass, no matter what company claimed it. Although there'd been a rather unfortunate loss of a cargo container, which funnily enough coincided with a drop in dusts costs the clan had.


[color=71EEB8]"True enough, at least around this region. Zal told me something about their migration once, he said lampreys prefer the western sea to the east because of all the old pre-war wrecks. he's seen that kind of damage done by lamprey's, showed me a picture once."[/color] 
the girls responds, determination in her eyes 
[color=71EEB8]"Course if it was a leviathan, you'd know it by the scraping, not just holes in the hull. they like to get handsy with their prey, even the little ones."[/color]

Nor gained a smug look in his eye as he heard her reply, [color=6ecff6]"True enough, but  I think we got lucky this time,"[/color] he said before pausing, seeming to rethink his words,[color=6ecff6]"well as lucky as catching one in a feeding frenzy can be considered, but we think it's in the early stages, still trying to eat through its larval stages,"[/color] his tone seem to shift into a more relaxed feel, [color=6ecff6]"We only took the haul a few weeks ago, so  we're trying  to find out if it's still in the area before we send a report in, though I think dad was working on that when I left."[/color]


[color=71EEB8]If it's in a frenzy, you've got about 3 months until it migrates to open waters. are there any boneyards in this region? because that's whre it'll be headed."[/color]
the girl finishes. sudenly, a powerful rumbling emits from her stomach
[color=71EEB8]"Right, dinner. food is good."[/color]
With that, she rapidly departs for the ballroom, forgetting to check if Nor iss still in her wake.

He  followed after, nodding thoughtfully to himself as he trailed behind. He was sure his Clan had already thought to check, but wouldn't hurt to pass the idea along. But that could wait, he could feel hunger starting to call
