[ Honestly, a part of her kind of hopes that the creature moos again... His reaction reminds her of her cat Eleanor a bit. Also it's an entirely justified startling in her view once he asks her that question. ]
Do you really think me that concerned about shoes?
[ Look, just because she doesn't want to get farmyard filth on her nice ones does not make her shoe obsessed! She's always had her family's stylist to take care of her footwear choices and... yeah, she realises saying any of that out loud is absolutely not going to help her case here so she just narrows her eyes a bit. ]
[ badumtiss. although, honestly, he could stand to learn a bit about footwear choices. he's worn every pair he's ever had into the ground-- mostly out of necessity, but if you look at the slip-ons he has and imagine the kind of sand that gets in them.... eugh.
when mitsuru mentions aggressive, wolfwood turns his attention to the cow more closely. big eyes, lots of eyelashes, cute oval ears... and this one is just chewing slowly with no cares in the world. ]
Seriously? This guy-- [ a beat-- ] ...girl don't seem too upset about anythin'. Why d'they even keep the pissy ones around?
[ Honestly, dreadful. Iori levels of bad joke... not that this man knows who that is but just trust her, it's bad.
As he won't cease his shoe talk, she does happen to glance down at his own for a moment, perhaps to assess whether he'd made a sensible choice himself and... clearly he hasn't. She can't help but be mildly concerned, he's from a desert planet, the weather here isn't exactly warm right now and- ] ...Are you not wearing socks?
[ She turns her attention back to the bovine as the creature dips her head to take another large mouthful of grass, helpfully avoiding eye contact as she answers his question because this is absolutely not a topic she usually chats about. ]
For the purposes of... [ uh ] breeding I suppose. [ Do not make her go into the birds and bees. Please. ]
[ yeah he's been freezing his ass off for months now. temps can get lower in no man's land at night, after the suns go down, but he's certainly never seen snow before coming to aldrip. it's a new level of cold.
judging by his indecent naked ankles, the cold hasn't been enough to spur him to embrace socks. ] Hah? Why would I wear socks?
[ waste of water to wash them...
luckily for mitsuru, he does know what the birds and the bees are. or the worms and the thoma, at least. and if it were meryl, he might rag on her a little more-- what's she so embarrassed for, is she a kid, so on-- but he's not actually all that familiar with mitsuru beyond the category of vash's friend. and he's trying to play nice. wolfwood can't give vash shit for keeping everyone at arm's length if he's also... keeping everyone at arm's length. ] Well, she's pretty cute.
[ wolfwood reaches out to pet the cow, undaunted by the alleged aggressiveness of her male counterparts. the cow blinks and seems unaffected by the experience. ]
[ Indecent naked ankles indeed. She raises an eyebrow- honestly, she has to explain the reason for socks now? ] To stop your feet getting cold? Also, do you not end up with blisters without them?
[ She watches him go right ahead and pet the cow. Not something she'd felt like daring to do herself. ] I suppose she is.
Let's. [ Look she'll even lead the way like she's been here a million times - except she totally hasn't.
The phrase fish out of water definitely springs to mind as Mitsuru walks through an actual farmyard - there are probably people she knows back home who would find the idea incredulous. Like a dog walking on its hind legs. The moment she walks through the gate a chicken squawks and scuttles across her path and the redhead almost looks like she's about to take a step backwards away from the bird and into Wolfwood, mildly startled. ]

They can be quite aggressive in general...
