Yukine gave a toothy grin when Gabriel addressed her as a beast-folk. Some kitsune would have found that offensive, as it was often used as a derogatory term that lumped them in with other animals and made them seem like lawless beasts. Yukine, however, could tell that there was no condescension in the man's voice, so she decided to politely correct him instead of taking offense. [color=ec008c]"I'm a kitsune, actually,"[/color] she said, her voice friendly, but serious. She hoped that he would realize that she didn't like being called a "beast" without spelling it out for him. [color=ec008c]"And most of the people back home didn't care that I decided to go, but Ayato-sama says it's important to keep up with the other races, so I volunteered."[/color]

Yukine then giggled as Gabriel began to check out Charlotte's body. In Ayabukuro, people were not subtle about expressing interest in one another, but she found the way he used fake concern to look at parts of her that clearly weren't injured to be quite funny. Charlotte apparently found it substantially less amusing. Then her ears perked up when Charlotte introduced herself as the alchemist. [color=ec008c]"Oh! You're the bottle lady!"[/color] She quickly reached into her robes and pulled out her memento from the serpent battle. [color=ec008c]"I found a snake head!"[/color] She thrust it forward, beaming as if she was presenting the alchemist with the philosopher's stone, and gave no further explanation. It seemed obvious to the kitsune that Charlotte would be able to make use of it in her "science stuff."
