"Hm, but it's a pretty strong feeling," she mentioned, knowing her own actions were driven by the way she felt at any given moment. Anything which could be described as a normal feeling she understood, even when she didn't experience them herself. But she knew she didn't fully understand all emotions and she didn't really understand love so it made sense that she wouldn't have applied that word to her own feelings. But it seemed that Hikage wasn't the only one who was confused or at least at the control of her own emotions. The girl who'd showed up to do the collection of the bodies and properties of this particular bust, also had a problem. Hikage remembered her shaking her way through a conversation with Leonis and spent a few moments trying to rationalize whatever similarities there were between them. And she saw none that would cause the same kind of reaction. Of course, such a distinction would be hard for Hikage to make because she didn't care about that sort of thing. Being asked a direct question made Irisviel nervous even as her knees shook though she tried to explain. "Iie, it isn't your fault and I don't know you. I'm a witch from the Witches' Forest... so until I came out here I'd never spoken to men before, they make me really nervous," she mentioned all of this while still looking at Hikage to get all of the words out. "Sou ka, you're scared of men. That's gonna make sex really weird unless you like girls," Hikage said rather bluntly which caused a giant blush to appear on Irisviel's face as she tried to stutter through a response. "Nani!! Who..who...who'd want to do something like that anyways!?" she questioned which made Hikage look at the woman with the blankness in her face she was known for. "It's pretty fun, besides... you shouldn't be scared of men. Just kick their asses, then they'll be like everyone else..." Hikage offered which was likely strange advice coming from the girl, but she wasn't completely unfeeling towards the girl's plight. And it was how Hikage made friends, even as Irisviel's magic worked to collect the last of the individuals she had to she couldn't help but consider the green haired lass' word.
