( even with her encouraging words, legosi looks deflated. it seems a little forced, to tell a wolf that he's doing a good job simply because he isn't attacking strangers (or loved ones) and trying to eat them. isn't that kind of the bare minimum of being a kind and respectable carnivore in their society? it shouldn't really be celebrated... but regardless, he is still aware of how much he has improved in his discipline and self-control, even if his internal view also is just enough to keep him wary of potential slip-ups. if there was anything he had learned from his researching herbivore and carnivore couples, it was that one must always be aware... )
It was just good that something happened before I could make a mistake I couldn't take back later. ( even if that occurrence had ironically been louis injuring his leg. hm -- was it the same leg? legosi can't remember clearly, but it's funny how things work out.
she's right, though. haru has her own philosophy, her own way of living her life shaped by who she was, what she was, what hardships she had been forced to face while growing up... everyone does, whether they contemplate them or not. he gives a faint smile at her admission, and is unfortunately mid-way through taking a sip of water when she continues. surprise causes him to splutter, then cough; he sets the glass of water down and is forced to recompose himself, muzzle uncomfortably and embarrassingly wet from the water and sweating faintly besides. ) I - It wasn't really about letting you, Haru-chan...
( as if he didn't really, really, really want to?? but legosi's just not the kind of guy who can set aside very serious and very real concerns about what he might be tempted to do (what he might do without even being able to think through it), and not to mention how even if all went well -- would it even work? did they come to a conclusion on whether or not they were even physically compatible? she was still talking to him about it, so he has to think she isn't that concerned, but...???
a lizard or a frog? hm... he tries to imagine haru as a komodo dragon, but the image just doesn't materialize in his mind. it seems to incompatible. )
Mm... I'm just going to not be worried, I think. Even if you end up much bigger than me, I'll be able to hold my own, you know. ( what with all of that training that he did with gouhin. he smiles, though, intending it a joke; if such a thing happened he's pretty sure he wouldn't put up a fight for real...
and speaking of food -- the server stops by to talk to them, their gaze a little over-interested but not in a way that seemed overbearing. though legosi does have to be careful in telling them that he doesn't eat any meat ("vegetarian" as they said here), causing them to point out the parts of the menu that were meat-free... he ends up ordering a very veggie-heavy omelette before the server turns their attention towards haru. )
