"Sadly? You sound like you wish you had access to more pornography." He says, knowing what she meant, but wanting to tease her anyway.
"All I heard was that you wanted more porn." He says, shrugging innocently, before laughing and shaking his head. "Yeah, yeah, I got it. You wish you had more knowledge of the old world, huh?" He asks, looking at her. "So... You're like some kind of sexy librarian droid." He says, grinning.
"I'm just teasing you Hina. Take a joke." He says, rolling his eyes and chuckling as he puts an arm around her shoulder. "We're good friends now, aren't we?" He asks.
"...... On second thought..." He takes a big step to the side. "I'll just shut my mouth and walk." He says, hurrying ahead.
"Smart boy." She mutters while following a fair distance behind him now.
Two hours of awkward, near painful silence later and the two of them are at the entrance to the mountain range where the brown grass gives away for cold hard gray stone. Paths lead off in all directions and right now there is plenty of standing space. The massive spires of rock reach high above their heads and only a frew trees and bushes are scattered about.

"Oooookay. This is going to be a tough climb..." He mutters, before looking back at Hina. "You sure you'll be able to handle this? I won't be able to reach you for quite a while if you trip and fall." He says, before holding out his hand. "Or I could help you up. Come on. Take my hand. We'll climb up together." He says, looking at her.
"We'll be walking, but..." He kicks one of the stones. "I don't want you slipping and falling. Otherwise you're going to have more dents than cheese by the time we get to the other side." He says, walking through one of the paths as he holds her hand.
"Wait, so... I could cut your head off, and you'd still be able to function? That's... Both creepy and cool." He says, slightly grossed out.
"Ah. We don't want that. Not to mention, I'd look like a complete psychopath, carrying around a severed head. Makes it even worse if that severed head is talking." He says, wincing.
"Ah. Well, don't worry about that. I'm not going to chop your head off. Or dispose of your body. You won't be in as much danger as I will." He says, shrugging. "I couldn't even think of hurting you." He says, smiling at her.
"Hina. Do you honestly think I could harm you, for whatever reason? Even if it would cost me my own life?" He asks, stopping and looking at her.
He sighs and nods. "Fine... But we don't even have the materials to rebuild your body. You'll be spending the rest of your life as a severed head." He murmurs, looking down at the floor. "The art of extraction and usage of minerals to build something has long been lost to time."
"Yeah. I will. Come on. Let's not discuss such gloomy things. We'll stay quiet and on the lookout for giants." He says, continuing down the path.
He points up to the mountains. "Those aren't. Size plays a big advantage in places like this." He says, glancing up at the mountains every once in a while as he walks.
"In the tight spots, yes. But when it comes to reach..." He trails off, giving her a look. "Size usually has the advantage." He says.
"Which could mean two things. One, that they were exaggerating. Two... They weren't, and they've been watching us this whole time. That thought is more chilling than the last..." He mutters, glancing around the place.
