believe me i've dealt with my share of monsters. lately its mostly been like mutated criminals and mercenaries but monsters has been a thing. it'd be nice to fight something that doesn't have a human face.
[She waits by the gate, in her armor and waiting. Part of her wants to sigh heavily at walking another newcomer around outside the wall, but mostly she's excited to hit up more activity outside. She goes alone plenty of times, but it's always funny to bring someone new out, gauge how they are, how they handle the beasts outside.]
[Roy shows up right on time, dressed in his full red leather and body armor, decked out with his regular quiver and thigh quiver, his bow in hand, domino mask on, and trucker hat firmly shoved down over red hair that brushes around his jawline.
When he sees the person he was talking to, he raises his brows and lets out a slow whistle.]
[Well. She's not sure what she's expecting, but this isn't it. Not that she can find any real complaint- except maybe the trucker hat... And even then-]
I usually exceed expectations, might wanna get used to it.
[The trucker hat will go over Roy's dead body, honestly. He generally figures his lovingly tattooed and deliciously sculpted biceps will make up for it.]
[She considers a nicer, calmer area once they get started, eyeing the path before deciding to go towards the harder area with more wild animals. Just to test him]
Eh, that's okay I guess. Aliens are nothing, beasts are a walk in the park. Supervillians? Can't say I played with any of them yet but, pretty sure I can take em.
Maybe not, I don't know yet. Can't be sure until I see you handle yourself first hand. Safest way to do it. You have no idea how many people think they're super capable then get chewed up when they go out the gate. It's nothing personal, just keeping people alive, ya know?
[She shrugs, and starts out the gate, leading them down a path that usually has more easy to handle beasts. It's her usual routine with newbies. Armor, more guns than necessary, and the "bunny trail" outside the gates.]
Does the hat stay on when you're fighting?
[Because she's curious and because small talk is usually a good idea. She's only quiet when she's in a really, really shitty mood, so]
[It's sassy, but it's also good-humoured and jokey at the same time. Teasing. And don't think he can't tell that you're going on the bunny trail there, South. He knows.]
Usually, yeah, unless someone knocks it off. Which usually happens. Hat retrieval's my most common post-battle cooloff.
[She gets it's teasing, just shrugs and smiles a bit behind her helmet. And, okay, it's just her procedure here, bunny trail until she knows they can handle themselves. She's not going to be responsible if someone gets their hand bit off on a harder path]
See, that's what's so great about these
[South gestures to her helmet, tapping a finger against the metal]
Besides the HUD and other features, it doesn't come off unless someone's really trying, and I don't let anyone get close enough to try.

Man, have I ever heard that one before.
[A little chuckle.]
Well, let's go, c'mon!

[Cocky? Yep. She grins behind her helmet and nods him along]
After you, fresh meat.
no subject
Man you have some pretty big shoes to fill if you want to become the baddest warrior woman in my life.
[It's not just talk. Kori is a pretty high bar to set.]
Fresh meat? Seriously? I've been doing this since I was like. Twelve or something.
[Without a wince or even much contemplation, Roy heads out the gate.]
no subject
[She's sure of herself, cocky, she's not worried about any shoes to fill.
She follows him out with a glance to the gate guards, a small nod as they go]
You've been fighting crazy beasts on an alien planet for the last five years?
[She's fairly certain he isn't that young, but she can't help teasing at least a little]
no subject
Down girl. You haven't heard about the shoes you have to fill.
[He walks behind her, his body language relaxed, his shoulders square.]
What about fighting crazy beasts and aliens and supervillains on plain old Earth for the past five years?
[Raising a brow, he gives her a cocky look of his own.]

This girl is pretty badass though, he can tell already.]
Okay, so what if I did it without a big pink suit of armor and a rocket launcher?

Honestly, I don't need anyone's protection.

Fine, whatever you say. I've handled myself in way worse than what's out there, but, you know, go ahead and don't believe me.
