Shiro chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head. [b]"Ah, I don't think I should really say...It's a little embarrassing for me,"[/b] he said, unaware of how much more embarrassing it was for his team leader to have this fact about her revealed. There was also the suspicion that this 'Diamond' girl would somehow use the information against him. Something about her overall appearance and scents told Shiro that she could end up getting the words out from him anyways or find out from some other source later on if he refused. Ah, what the hell. [b]"Basically Sapphire, my team leader, had some sort of panic attack when we were in the water. I tried to rescue her but she ended up biting me on the arm. It was hard enough to go through my gloves and bandages, but thankfully it didn't really break skin. Just left a bit of a bruise."[/b] Shiro was too easy sometimes. Hardheaded at exactly the wrong moments as was his nature.

When Diamond countered with her line of logic and reasoning, Shiro couldn't help but nod in agreement. His eyes looking up towards the empty space above his head as he looked thoughtful for a moment. She was right, if people could be jailed just for talking about something but with no concrete evidence or proof, the jails would be fit to burst over capacity. Even still, he didn't like talking about potential legally-dubious subjects. He always tried to avoid moral gray areas if he could help it. He couldn't wrap his mind around the 'social drinking' concept, but then again that's what parties were. Right? Just taken to excessive levels. Was there social drinking that wasn't taken to excess? For some reason upon the mention of fireplaces, he imagined stuffy old folk in top hats and monocles sipping expensive wine around a fireplace sitting in antique armchairs discussing international politics and economics. He snorted and chortled to himself randomly at the mental image. How silly.

[b]"I guess so...when you put it like that. Doesn't make too much sense to me still. I don't think that would be my cup of coffee though. Why anyone would enjoy doing something like that is beyond me...Sounds boring..."[/b] Shiro leaned towards his food, just about to take another bite when he stopped and turned his head towards Diamond. Blinking as he looked completely lost and confused.

[i]"Buy a...woman? What?"[/i]
Now there was a completely foreign concept to the tiger boy, if there ever was one.
[b]"Wh-...what do you mean by that? How do you [i]buy[/i] people? And for what? Why?"[/b]
Only ever having a one girlfriend in his life thus far, and that was a short-lived puppy love type deal when he was at Signal, the virginal purity that was Shiro was completely in the dark about more mature and adult relations. That was a world he had never treaded or even known about.
