[She hadn't thought of that before, becoming some kind of ambassador of sorts between those stuck in CERES's city and the creatures outside it.
For a long moment she says nothing as she thinks it over, expression apprehensive. What if she wasn't up to that task? What if they didn't want to listen to her, or what if the humans lived up to their unfortunate expectations? The humans she did trust were fine, of course, but there were many other residents she hadn't met yet, and a couple she had that she would rather let the monsters eat than try to pass them off as peaceful do-gooders.
Her hands slide against her scales as if to smooth them down, a self-comforting gesture as her mind tumbles through various scenarios and various outcomes. It's a big sort of responsibility, and that's... Well, it's scary. Her eyes find Sousei, studying him a little.
Sousei wasn't the kind of person who would say such things to her if he didn't believe her capable. His world was not one of empty pleasantries and pretty lies meant only to soothe and comfort. If she wasn't up to that task... He wouldn't have suggested it in the first place.
That, at least, she can take comfort in. And the prospect was far enough away that it didn't make sense to needlessly worry over it now.
So the tension leaves her shoulders as she becomes more sure of the world again and she hums in a playfully thoughtful manner.]
Suppose, then, that you ought to be very, very nice to me. Otherwise, could turn on you, yes? Should not give me reason to do so.
[But there's mischief in her eyes to show she's only joking (well, more or less).]
If you give me a kiss, I will be very nice indeed. [Oona tilts her head to present her cheek with a grin]
