Considering how her smile hadn’t dropped at all since being released from her cell, it was no surprise that Kailani just absolutely beamed when the newly introduced Min-Ji accepted her handshake. Mentally, she patted herself on the back for being able to tell what the other woman meant. Human interactions were [i]easy[/i]!

[color=f7941d]“How do you guys feel about blowing this pop stand?”[/color]

… What was a pop stand? Nevermind, humans were still perplexing.

As Abby explained her plan Kailani still had no idea what a pop stand had to do with it, but she quickly caught on to what she was suggesting otherwise. Others seemed to as well, considering the other tall woman who joined the table, casting wary glances to some of the men. And, as Abby spoke, Kai grew [i]excited[/i]. Despite her cheerful demeanour, the alien [i]severely disliked[/i] it here. She hadn’t been in her real form in [i]months[/i], a feeling of being forced into a coat two sizes two small and unable to remove it. More than that, though hunger was a constant friend, it had never gotten this bad before. The gnawing feeling twisted at her gut, sapping her strength and some nights causing utter agony as she could feel her very body turning in on itself.

It was not a pleasant way to go.

[color=powderblue]“This sounds like a stupid plan.”[/color] Caught off guard by the candid comment, Kai turned back to her conversation partner, blinking in surprise at how anyone wouldn’t want to escape. But, that wasn’t what she said was it? She just didn’t like the plan.

[color=gold]“The utensils? Uh, yeah! Yeah. They never give me enough food, so they’re like little snacks, and no one else eats their’s.”[/color] 

[color=CadetBlue]"But you could eat the lock, right? If you wanted to, you could eat those cuffs straight off your wrists?"[/color] That was from the other girl, causing Kailani to twist to look at her at being addressed. Her eyes flicked down to the metal wrapped around her own wrists, chained together to only give her some slack. Julia had said earlier that the cuffs were nice, but in truth Kailani didn’t think so at all. She had politely not voiced it, since it was offered as a compliment and Julia had seemed rather upset. Now she pulled at them, the chain rattling slightly.

[color=gold]“Definitely! Well, kind of. I can eat [i]anything[/i], just … not with this on.”[/color] Her fingers came up and sunk through the small gaps of the muzzle around her face, tugging at it in frustration. She even met Marina’s gaze across from her, sympathy flashing through her eyes since the other woman had a similar problem. [color=gold]“And I can’t get it off since it’s connected to the collar, and the collar shocks me when I try, because I’d eat the entirety of The Borehole given the chance. Which is also why I eat the utensils, because they can fit through this! Ugh, I’m so hungry all the time here…”[/color]

Kailani groaned, head tilting back dramatically even as she tugged at the muzzle once more before finally dropping her hands, lest she be tempted to eat her own fingers. A sigh, full of longing was next before she finally looked to Abby.

[color=gold]“... So yeah, I’m in! Nothing can stand up to my teeth!”[/color] She gave her a sparkling grin that showed them off before finally turning back to Min-Ji. [color=gold]“Hey, even if you don’t like the plan, if it’s working out do you want me to come get you? I’ll eat the door right off your cell if someone gets this off me.”[/color]

Because they weren’t strangers anymore, and that’s what not-strangers do for eachother, right?
