[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 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.]

[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?
[Grinning mischievously, he raises both brows, a challenging, cheeky expression.]

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.
[With that, he cocks a brow, tilts his head, and starts out of the gate.]
