[LB feels some silliness from his affirmation on his own offer, but LB isn't used to people actually wanting to join her on social outings, even if his intentions might have a more underlying purpose. (At the very least, she was used to being used, so it's not like she'd be all that offended over it.)
As he steps forward, though, she does the same, taking out her device to note it. The initials he gives, though, immediately stick out. He had already given her a name - Soma - so why "RK"? Did he give her an alias? She... couldn't be upset over that, since she did the same. Or perhaps did the initials stand for something else? Hmm. Either way, the time didn't seem right to ask about it just yet.]
Ah, that is quite simple, heheh. Easy to remember, though I should apologize that mine might not be as easy. It's "blekksprut". Um... [Realizing that the word was probably hard for a large portion of even people originally from Earth to spell by sound alone, she sends him a simple ":)" message, just so he'd have an easy reference for it.] ...there! Now you have it.
[She does find it a little odd that he specifically mentions wanting to know her clan - she wasn't a particularly loyal-minded individual, but she was a professional that very much wanted what was promised in her contract - if nothing else, she was very good at keeping secrets.
But maybe he was just being friendly? And he was promising to share stories of his own, so perhaps she was just reading too much into it? LB was aware she could be paranoid as fuck sometimes. Right, it was probably nothing.]
Yes, it should be fun to swap some stories, hmm? Heehee, until then, I'll look forward to it.
[Come to think of it, she wasn't even certain which clan Soma was even from. But she supposed she'd learn soon enough.]
