"Childhood."

"Fairy tales."

"Swirling clouds."

"Lightning strikes."

His looks weren't human. He was anything but mortal. And most would find this fact terrifying, or disgusting, but Kahina wasn't most people. Sure, the tree was rough around the edges, but the priestess wouldn't consider him terribly ugly. At least in her own opinion He had his own unique charm to him.

"You're big and strong! And your features are really defined too. Not only that, but your eyes remind me of...an illuminated night sky, if that makes sense? I like it."

"Oh!" Kahina exclaimed, before she smiled toward the demon before her. "You're really pretty and cute! Your horns are so pretty, too, they look like they'd be nice to put silk around. And your eyes are like stars!"

She usually was blunt, but she found herself a little speechless from the being in front of her. The tones of her skin reminded her of rare desert flowers, and her hair was long and wild. It suited her. Just like how the horns, teeth, and muscle suited her too. Most would find these traits to be off-putting, but Kahina couldn't help but think they were gorgeous.

"You're much more powerful than the word 'pretty'," she murmured, biting at her thumb as she thought to herself. All the scores she's given so far have been pretty high, but it wasn't her fault all these pretty folk were asking her for scores on their looks.

"You know. I almost said 3/10 just to spite you, but that would make me a liar." She rubbed her chin as she studied him, before making an affirmative noise.

"W-well, I mean..." she sputtered, purple gaze flitting from the Lunari back to the ground.

"You're really pretty! I haven't witnessed anyone like you. You remind me of the moon. Though for some reason, I feel as though you get that a lot..."

The young woman couldn't help but grin, gently taking the flora from her gifter. She hadn't seen anything like this before, surely not in Shurima. That made Kahina feel special.

"Thank you, this is too kind. I...I need to give you something in return. Do you have anything that you want or need?"
