Having deftly steered the conversation away from race politics, you decide to aim for a lighter topic: fun!
“Ooh, I love fun! Can’t get enough of it!” Volka replies with a wag of her massive tail!
Yea, you do too, you nod, but what does she do for fun anyways? Besides carrying people around like luggage, that is.
For some reason <span class="mu-i">THAT’S</span> the joke that nearly makes Volka drop you as she doubles over laughing. Pausing to catch her breath, the girl’s armor pieces jangle as she struggles to get herself back under control!
“Hoo…. luggage! I should start a business, ey? Okay, fun, fun, fun… well I enjoy laughing, as you can plainly see,” She begins, her stomach still quaking with the remnants of laughter, “And I like cooking, but I told ya’ that back at camp…”
Bringing you up next to her tusked face, Volka leans in with a conspiratorial tone. “My father can’t cook <span class="mu-i">at</span> all… and he runs an apothecary! Can you believe it!?”
He can probably whip up a mean poison though, huh? Oh boy, here it comes again…
“HA! You’ll have to tell him that when you meet him!” She snickers, body shaking with resounding laughter once again! “Ahh, you’re a funny one, Ant…”
You get that a lot. So she likes cooking, and…?
“Swimming! <span class="mu-i">Loooooooove</span> swimming!” The amazon replies with a shake of her tail! “I’d spend my whole life in the water if I could–there’s nothing quite like a dip after a long day! And it’s good exercise!” She pauses for a moment and gives you a gentle shake. “You exercise much, Ant?”
Oh <span class="mu-i">yea</span>, you nod, e-every day!
“Uh-oh, sounds like I’ve just found a challenger! Next lake we find! I won’t go easy on ya!”
That doesn’t seem even <span class="mu-i">remotely</span> fair…
“Ain’t about fair, it’s about fun!” Volka chirps.
Who even taught her to swim anyways? Her dad?
“HAH! No, I fell into the canals a few times when I was a whelp!” She giggles. “They’ve put up walls since then, but let’s just say I got plenty of practice!”
Huh. Well it’s good that she engineered a social change…
“Not enough!” She frowns, “Those walls are still way too short! And flimsy!”
Ah.
