Welcome to Gaia! ::

~: Gaining her composure, she wiped the tears away, straightened her kimono and folded her hands in front. "Spoken like a true altruist. It's a dying quality nowadays."

She offered that warm smile again, little strands of her hair falling in front of her face.:~

~: Kuriko's smile faded after he asked what she lived for. She never really thought of it, considering her brother took what she lived for and even now he's gone. But she had to say strong or say something. Faking a smile, she spoke: "I live to die happy."

~: Phew. Dodged that bullet, Kuriko thought. He held his hand out to her. Oh why not, she placed her dainty digits in his palm and when he did such, she blushed, not used to that kind of action. Usually she distanced herself. "And now you're a charmer." She spoke, trying to keep her composure. "Tell me, am I right in guessing it was your male curiosity that led you down here?"

~: Kuriko winked at him, not moving her hand. "I thought curiosity was saved for felines? But if you must know.. I was just naturally fascinated with your reactions. Not everyday that happens."

That's when she slid her hand out of his and folded them in her kimono sleeves.:~

"By the way.. you left your guard down several times." ~She slid her robes up and revealed the dagger placed on her right thigh. "I could've killed you, you know."

~: Kuriko smiled and nodded her head.: "Ask away. Before you ask the obvious, yes, there are more concealed weapons about me."

She then gave him a wink back and folded her arms behind her. Oh how sneaky she is.:~

~: Kuriko 'hmmed', putting her hands on her hips. "Well. I'm not a master at Taijutsu because I don't have specific moves. But I am skilled in certain martial arts. But my main focus is Ninjutsu. Especially Ninjutsu based off of my beautiful bloodline trait. Since you're not from Kirigakure- or I hope- you won't be appalled to know what it is."

She paused before she revealed her secret. "And I'm trusting you with this knowledge as well. I train in Ice style."

~: Kuriko smiled wryly. "Well. That's what is special about me. Just the Hyouton. Oh, and I'm not really this ditzy or dense." She shrugged "I just figure I'd follow along, since it actually was kind of fun. Usually I show no emotion, hence my nickname 'Ice Queen' but I'm not entirely heartless. But since you want to trust me, I will reveal that there are two kunai on my right upper arm and three shuriken strapped to my stomach. But as for tactical advantages and arithmatic.. ehh slightly above average. I was the one that actually studied whilst in the academy. In two villages, remarkably."

~: Kuriko's eyebrow twitched as she hosts that long face usually used in animes when they're all '..say what?'. "..So you'll give me the headache? Oh that is just mean.."

That's when she faked tears. Giving him the puppy eyes. "S-so you'll want me to be cranky and be-ly my true nature?" She wonders if this will actually work.. and to butter it up, she placed her arms straight in front, fingers laced, trying to look innocent.:~
