It seems like that, for whatever creepy reason.
No, but...
[She chews on her lip, brushing back a strand of hair.]
I just wish we knew where they were.
[Even if they're not alive.]

...Do you want to look together, then? I think I'd feel a lot better if I wasn't just - sitting around, waiting.
[She turns towards him and gives him a nod when he approaches her outside of the kitchen. She looks... upset, still, but she tries not to let too much of it enter into her voice.]
Yeah, sure thing. What's up?
Yeah, sure thing. What's up?
[She pauses, openly surprised for a moment, before she blinks a few times.]
...No. But, I mean, you don't have to...
[Not that it's unwelcome, but it seems a little bit embarrassing not to at least qualify that.]

[She steps forwards, then, wrapping her arms around him in turn. Softly:]
...Thanks, Higekiri.
...Thanks, Higekiri.
[She lingers for a few moments, her face against his shoulder, before she lets go.]
Seriously, you don't have to be sorry. I mean, it's like... I'm really not used to people being - as kind as you are.

Oh, no, I didn't really mean other people have been harsh or anything, just...
[She thinks of how to phrase this.]
I think a lot of people have trouble being as... open as you are about it. It's kind of refreshing.

... well, humans can be scared of showing too much of themselves. Or nervous...
But I think if one's intentions are good, then they might as well be expressed.
[he
doesn't really care to hide how he feels about things
but this is the longer explanation for that]

I think most people get stuck on the... vulnerability thing. It's not as easy for everyone, but - I think it's cool that it is for you. That's all.
[She tilts her head.]
I mean - I think you are, even if you aren't human.

[Beck has spent most of the day so far looking around the new areas that have opened up; the aquarium and the casino draw her attention for a while, but it isn't too long before she heads to the pool area. She doesn't go into the water, though. When Higekiri finds her, she'll be standing in the sunbathing area, looking out on the ocean around them.
As she notices him approaching:]
Hey there. It's nice to finally get some air, right?

[Her eyebrows furrow for just a moment before she catches his meaning. She only falters for a moment, though, before:]
I have other people I can go to, but if you need someone...
[no! shame!]
