COLORFUL CHARADE NO ONE CAN
BE JUST LIKE ME ANYWAY

"And a pretty enough one."
She's not sure whether he means the turtle or herself, but she's fairly sure that he means her. Stroking her ego, eh? It works and her lobes perk forward, her orbs glowing with pleasure at the compliment. Placated, she listens to him muse about the turtle without further mockery. It's strange to think that he's never seen a turtle, but perhaps they did not exist where he came from. It's hard to think that other lands may be so different from the ones she's been in. He smiles at her easily, letting her mocking tone bounce right off of him.
But then he slaps her back with words of his own. "It made me wonder if there's something dangerous around here... but there's only you." She snorts in derision, pinning her ears and eyeing him scornfully. She takes the bait of his jest much more easily than he to hers. Perhaps she's just a more emotional gal. But the initial reaction softens and she lends a small sneer his direction. "Ah, but I could be. It could all just be a grand deception." She coos softly then chuckles with amusement.
She steps closer to him, then begins to circle him, her mane shifting softly over her neck and shoulders. She doesn't really mean it in an intimidating matter, but her actions may be open to interpretation. She tilts her head at him. "So what's your name, stranger? Where are you from?" From which court or which land... either would be an appropriate answer. But his answers so far have been rather interesting, and her eyes burn with curiosity.
