[He wasn't wrong in his assessment. The wasp and blade on her skin weren't even the last of the dangerous things she wore, on skin and clothing both. Her knee-high boots, something more Western-looking than her robe and yet somehow not incongruous, have a rattlesnake design burned into the brown leather. Poisonous things. Sharp things.
But her lips are soft when they smile, even if her canines look slightly sharp and the piercing(?) glistens on her tongue when she speaks.]
Have you ever heard of aposematism... ?
[... Maybe a big boy word. If he hasn't, well. He can look it up and count that as his "you learn something new everyday". It applied more to humans than to youkai. But this particular youkai wants to learn about the tattoos that have been applied to all of their bodies, and to sate her curiosity... She doesn't mind stripping. With a little flourish, completely uncaring of the fact that they were nowhere remotely deemed private, she pulls her white fur stole from her neck and drapes it loosely over one of Gen's shoulders.]
Hold that for me~
[With that out of the way, she spins on her boot heel to face away from him, pulling her robe from the front of her thick leather belt and tugging the extra fabric upwards so that it begins to slip down her back, slowly revealing an inked hilt, the blade piercing through a traditional peony warped into something more heart-shaped... and she shimmies the silks down just enough that the tip comes into sight down the curve of her spine. With the entire tattoo revealed, she finally looks over her shoulder with a playful expression.
Across the street from the blacksmith, a man suddenly very not interested in looking where he's going runs smack into another.]
What do you think... ?
[More than worth a peek of an "aspect" tattoo, she thinks.]
