Her head cocked slightly with amusement at his words. He wasn't a perv, which was good, though his speech about trust confused her a little. ''He said he doesn't trust people. "'if' i had any friends." is he hinting that he wants to be friends? Does he wants to talk? Or is he saying he doesn't trust me?''

He's actually kinda cute!

Her own thoughts suprised Zhu-li, and she found herself wondering how she could find someone menacing and attractive at the same time? Especially when he revealed he sympathised with faunus. Zhu-li sense the person he spoke of was someone close to him, and kept silent to not ruin the moment while he reminesced.

The creepiness was dropping steadily, though he maintained that air of deadly intent which still intimidated her.

Then he lowered his hood.

Her expression mirrored his stunned look just an hour ago. Red eyes met amethyst ones, and widened with utter, wordless shock. "Whoa..." was all she could say.

"Red isn't popular with the racist either." she admitted after many seconds of staring. "I'm not ashamed, i know people can be nice whoever they are. It's only the few that don't understand and treat us like freaks cause we're a little different."

Dawn looked up at the faunus who spoke, sizing him up and misjudging by appearance that he was the stereotypical tough guy she was used to seeing, and the feminist in her smiled at the thought of crushing another male ego.

"You're on!" she pulled a weathered old deck with an  "Atlas Army Corps" label on it from her pocket and grabbed a nearby stool. In lieu of a real table, she simply plopped onto the floor beside the stool and set the cards on it.

"How 'bout Twenty-one?" she suggested. Despite her many unhealthy habits, Dawn was never much of a gambler but she decided to leave things to chance this time. Picking two cigars from a box, she offered one to the faunus and tried to light the other.

Again her lighter failed, and the bruiser cursed again and again as she willed the tiny spark to life.

(honestly i'm not good at card games. Twenty one is the only game i know)
