Kino couldn't help but blush when those soft fingers rubbed and touched the fur against his soft ears. A soft purring rumble started to grow from his chest as his ears were rubbed and squeezed like that. They felt so real because well, they were real! He was thankful that Saffy didn't try to find any sort of connector to his head, because that might have given everything away to Saffy.
Kino frowned at ARtemis' sudden agressive stance once again. "If you've been here before then you know how... bad the main event is. The... way they do the pairing is pretty... bad." He trails off, eyeing Saffy while she reflects upon his ears for the breif moment that she wasn't paying attention to his actions. He... can't do it. He can't just shout 'get out' to them. It would spook Saffy too much and Artemis would flip out on him he was sure. But he wasn't sure how else to warn them, and if Artemis knew how bad it could get, then she knew that Saffy didn't deserve that kind of fate. Kino knew it, but he was helpless to the ignorance that this innocent woman had of his side of the coin.
That blush returned when she complimented him on the color of his ears matching him well, and calling him cute to boot! "Oh.. well.. thank you." He said softly, those ears perking up and twitching a little, tail swishing behind him softly as he listens to her shift from hyper active to more subdued and then back again. "Well, you're cute when you're energetic so don't lose that part of yourself. If its helping you keep yourself from being stressed then its a good thing, no?" He says warmly.

Artemis smiled at the compliments heaped upon her "costume". "Simple, it's real, or at least the armor is." She corrected a bit too quickly. "I have a friend who helped me put it together."
Kino's comment caused her to redirect her attention to him and once his pleas sunk in a crack in her emotional armor formed. For once she had come across a monster boy who actually seemed to be a decent person. She paused to be sure to get the right words out. "Yeah I know how bad it can be. It was bad for my sister and I'm here to make sure it's bad for people who want to make it bad for people like Saffy. And I suppose if I had to be matched with someone, I guess I'm glad it's with you."

"Thank you, but you've been complimenting too much since I got here. I can tell you're a big sweet heart." She hummed, nodding to herself to reaffirm that point. Perhaps I should skip out on the main event? It doesn't seem very organized. Kino is lowkey warning me about something and Artemis kinda jumped to hang out with me?, she thought to herself, while showing no sign of apprehension on her face. And I'd be worried for my sister too if the event was that bad. Or anyone else who had a sister for that matter... I'm glad I caught them when I did.
Saff's eyes widened when Artemis mentioned her armor being real. "Wow! Real armor?! You gotta be kidding!" After the intial excitement, a broad grin curled up on her features. "May I have a picture of both of you together? I mean, you guys seem like such a lovely couple now that you warmed up to each other." Once again she was only teasing, but then her features softened for a moment. "And it might be first impressions, and I think both of you are nice people. I'm just a stranger but thanks for helping me out."

The cat listened to the threats Artemis made towards essentially everyone in the convention. "Your... sister?" He asked softly, a frown on his face as he listened to her speak. He took a step towards her, slowly and softly so as not to seem like he was about to do anything to her. "That armor being real might come in real handy." He muses, a small smile beginning to form.
Kino's eyes went wide and he couldn't help but crack a smile at Artemis as she spoke about being glad that she was paired with him. "Well well, I'm touched." He teased softly, "You're not trying to strike me down with your words right now." He said with a soft chuckle. His tail swished happily. He was starting to like Artemis too now. If she could take his hint and get Saffy out safely then it'll be worth missing a meal today. Besides, he might still be able to convince himself to snatch someone up later. The thought made his stomach let out a sudden grumble, which made him blush a bit at that. He was still a predator after all, even if he could care about the well being of others.
When Saffy asked them if she could take a photo of them together, he couldn't help but blush. "A photo huh? You want to show your niece a picture of new friends you met at the convention?" He asked her teasingly, tail swishing from side to side as he steps up behind Artemis and holds his arms wide enough to show he wants to give her a hug from behind for the picture. He'd wait for the ok from her, but if she ok'ed it Kino would squeeze his arms around her softly. It'd be a gentle, warm hug; one that felt more like a comforting hug then anything. "I'm sorry." He'd whisper into her ear quietly; quiet enough for Saff to not be able to hear it.

"Hence why I'm wearing it." Artemis replied, somewhat humorously. However the smile on the cat's face was making her a bit... testy. She was having trouble discerning what exactly it pertained, and whether or not it was a good thing for her. After all he did seem like a nice monster, but she still wasn't quite sure she could trust him. After all he was still a predator at heart, or rather at stomach. Which was proven by the grumble coming from his midsection. She eyed it warily. After all he did have the right to scarf her down once the main event started, or at least to try.
Artemis shrugged at the suggestion. "Well who would take the picture? There are only the three of us here, and it's not likely we'll get any random passers by out back like this." Artemis sighed and backed into his torso, reluctantly accepting the gesture. However she posed with one arm over his, and her hand on one of her knives, just in case. Besides it made for a good pose, at least that's what she thought.
However though she did still feel revulsion at his touch, the gentle hug did comfort her a little. And though she'd deny it, perhaps the picture would show the slightest hint of a blush on her face. "What do you have to be sorry for?" She whispered back. "It's not like you can change anything."

Saff raised a brow at Artemis. "I said both of you. Not together with you!" An easy mistake, she supposed! When the pair got into position, Saff couldn't help but chuckle at Kino. It was nice to see them starting to get along so well and so soon, even! "Well well, Artemis had you squirming like a kitten and now you're brave enough to hug her! You two are so cute!"
She paused for a moment as she admired the pose that was both sweet and somewhat cool at the same time, before she reached into her bag and retrieved her smart phone. Then she held into her face, tilting it, and turning it until she got a composition she liked on the screen before she pressed the button. No click, no flash, the lighting was perfect for her needs just like this. "Perfect~!" She then turned the phone so her two companions can see themselves on screen. "Thanks you guys~! How's it?"
Whatever Kino and Artemis would say about the photo, Saffron would either place the phone back in her bag, or prepare to take another. It seemed she was about to depart from the pair and get back to the hustle and bustle of the convention now that she had a bit of time to rest.

Kino smiled for the camera, a warm, gentle smile that didn't seem to have any ulterior motives now. Those motives had melted away when he met these two girls. Saffron he wanted to be kept safe while Artemis seemed... ready to kill someone. He decided, after the camera clicked and he was shown the image of them together like that, that he'd keep them safe no matter what. He wasn't blind to the fact that Artemis seemed to have a small blush, and that made him smile a little. Seems the queen of violence had a soft spot in her after all.
"Hehe, well she hasn't physically hurt me yet so I was betting that she wouldn't hurt me if I did this." He said happily, giving Artemis one final squeeze before letting go of her. "I can still keep you safe." He whispered into her ear before letting go. At this point he knew she knew. So he wasn't going to be subtle with her anymore. He just needed to make sure Saffron was kept safe now too.
"Your niece is going to love seeing these pictures I'm sure." He says happily to her.

Artemis laughed at her mistake and blushed at Saffron's comment. The bubbly zoologist definitely brought the best out in her. And that was only one reason why she needed to remain safe. Maybe by protecting saffy she was seeking to preserve some semblance of the innocence she lost so long ago.
Artemis gave a surprised indignant squeak at kino's hug. "Don't push your luck meowmix!"
She glared at him semi playfully, though her face softened when she heard his whispering. "I'm sure you can, but I can take care of myself. It's saffy that really needs protection." She whispered back, almost ashamed at how easily the cat had earned her trust.
"The picture looks OK I guess, but I think I have too much sun on my face." She tried to explain away the slight blush. After all there was no way the cat boy could really make her blush like that. Nope not at all.
