Sure.
[ does she want it? well, it doesn't irritate her. ]
Sorry, I know it seems kind of simple, but it's important to have friends in bad or dangerous times. Even if you just met them. Even if it's just for a little while. It's nice and keeps us human.
[and he...offers out a handshake?? but unlike the slight bumbling of before, this seems more confident, as if it's more familiar territory]
Do you chase them around without introducing yourself? [his tone is playfully teasing]
But my case isn't exactly common where I come from either; that's why I usually keep it a secret. Transmutation involving humans is the most forbidden part of alchemy. Even though what happened to me was an accident.
Most of the time, actually. Lower level demons don't have much in terms of intelligence.
[ so...kind of okay? but not okay. also....human transmutation. ]
At least there are limits, though I guess unspoken, about what people will try. I have to wonder, if you ended up in a suit of armor... What other things can happen?

Being an exorcist, do a lot of people get killed? Like your friends?

If I had any, I can't remember them.

Okay! Yeah!

what a sight to behold, honestly. she'll blink a few times and does her best not to laugh. ]
I don't think most people shake hands after being friends.
[ that said, she'll take his hand and give it a shake. it isn't particularly firm or anything, but it's a handshake. ]

Haha, sorry, I guess most of the friends I've made over the past few years have been soldiers. More like comrades-in-arms than normal friends maybe.
Even with everything, it's been kinda nice to be in one place for a little while and meet people like you.

Not for long anyway. Souls inhabiting suits of armor are not exactly ignored.
