[ She hears him long before he says anything, but it doesn't stop her from jumping slightly from hearing his voice. It's not shock that he's there, it's the whole situation finally crashing into her. Hair raises on the back of her neck and she is acutely aware suddenly that winning here would be imperative. Not only for the agreed prize that she'd never suffer to fight the Garlean naked again - but also because she has no armor and any blow he makes will have nothing to temper it. It excites her in a way typical of most fights with the man do.
For a brief moment, Caligi wonders what he'd do if he actually manage to kill her. She doesn't chase the thought-train much longer before she begins to slowly get to her feet and turn to him to greet him.
Her gaze deadens as red eyes land upon him as she turns and holds a finger up, denoting for him to wait a moment. The small woman swallows her food and glances at the muffin in her hand and then at him. And decides to make no move to unearth her claymore from where she had stuck it. ]
And here I thought you got lost. Nice shirt. [ She stuffs the last piece of the muffin into her mouth, snorting loudly and began to move towards her pack once more and completely ignore his readiness for battle. Her need for minor bit of payback, that was a need that could be put above her urge to grab her sword and just start attacking... Making him wait would be more sweet. ] Are you hungry? I'm still famished, care for a muffin?
[ Perhaps Caligi was a little annoyed for the length of time he left her waiting and really, her nudity wasn't of any consequence to her here, but his comment about her form made her bristle.
She begins to dig around in her pack, producing two more muffins and then moving towards him to stand before the giant of a man in all her glory, hoisting up a wrapped treat for him should he want it. ]
If you're not hungry, I'm still eating mine before we fight, but the other muffin is yours to do what you will with. It's safe, I made it myself. Poisoning you would be a waste.
[ A small act of defiance with a side of an offering to their strange friendship. Friends shared food, after all. Though from an outsiders point of view the sight of a naked Xaela Au Ra casually holding out a item of food for Zenos viator Galvus; who was already prepared for battle, to eat would lean on the more bizarre side of things. One simply didn't stand unarmed before Zenos and normally expect to live - let alone stand there holding up a muffin to him and expect the man to take it like Caligi clearly was.
To her, however, this simple action served both as a function of light retribution and also her own show of good faith. ]
