Otter Creek closing time

He's a straight forward kind of flirt xD

He was beginning to sense that Nuata's psyche was entirely comprised of literal interpretations. It wasn't that he felt she lacked a sense of humor but there was a marginal difference between what he expected her to understand and what she didn't...such as when childlike bewilderment peppered her features at his joking mention of sharks for prey.

Ariston grinned and shook his head to gently dismiss her superstitions. "Sharks live in the ocean," was his explanation. "And they are not prey. Very dangerous!" This latter point was made to permanently abolish any inkling Nuata might've felt in case she came across one while sporting an appetite.

He straightened and swiped one foreleg toward her though the distance between them was just enough that it hit only air. "I was just joking," he said. And then, "I simply meant to express that because I like you I'd be willing to do even the craziest things so long as you were involved."
