Human men don't like to what now. "Have you been TRYING?" Kari asked, slightly amazed at the concept. Sexual compatibility seemed deeply unlikely between an infinitely long snake monster and the average human male. Not that that had been known to stop the average human male. "I have a lot of questions about this."
Fortunately, or unfortunately, he was almost immediately distracted from asking them by his hand getting picked up by the side of a talon. He didn't particularly mind, as long as ey didn't stab him, but it did capture his focus, as one's hands being around sharp objects tends to do. Kari was a bit charmed despite his better judgment by the sight of his hand against the alien's. The size difference was so great as to be almost comical, but there was still something nice about the contact.
"My pointy ends come off," he said with a laugh, lifting one fingernail to clink it ever so gently against the tip of the talon that had tapped against it. "They're press-on," he explained. "And I'll have you know women love me." He paused. "...A certain kind of woman, anyway," he mused.
He watched as the alien took another drag off eir unusual cigarette before settling in a bit lower in an... interesting motion. Ey was still a lot taller, but it had the effect of making the two of them look like they were casually chatting, or perhaps about to share in the latest gossip.
He briefly considered the situation of his hand on the alien's. It would probably be weird to keep it there. He didn't particularly feel like moving it away. He sidestepped this issue by exploring the hand a bit more. The talons were to be avoided; they looked sharp and he didn't want an unfortunate injury or a weird alien bacterial infection. Instead, he traced patterns along the back of eir hand, curious about the smoothness of the scales there. So fine on such a large creature, not at all like eir tail, which seemed to be made up of much larger scales, from what he could tell.
"Oh, well, sure," Kari replied with a nod, since the question seemed genuine. "You can take advantage of people in a million ways for a million reasons." Although he probably shouldn't be giving a terrifying and deadly predator lessons in that. "I'd offer to show you," he said instead, with a teasing grin. "But I try not to take any kind of advantage of people who could probably kill me on accident, let alone on purpose."
He nodded along to what ey was saying. He was opening his mouth to say something banal like "oh, of course," to what felt like a commonly known fact when his distracted and slightly alcohol-addled brain caught up to him. "Wait, KROTAZI?!" His shock probably explained a great deal about the situation to the alien and anyone eavesdropping. "You're a... holy shit!" He sounded equal parts alarmed and delighted, which was probably not the standard reaction at all.
"My dad did all kinds of dealings with the Krotazi Empire, but he never did tell me much." Kari did vaguely remember some curses being thrown around behind closed doors about 'those fucking snakes,' but that could be a descriptor for a great many things that weren't this. This cleared up some things and not others. All the facts Kari could remember from his half-assed childhood studies were economic in nature. The Krotazi Empire had felt more like a law of physics than anything. He couldn't help but think now that his tutors would have been better serving his interests if they'd mentioned more about Krotazi biology and less about their economic impact on Allied Space.
His brain continued to play catch up, eventually landing on the whole "fucked to death" part that came directly after "Krotazi." "Wait," he said, glancing down. The Krotazi's hips were almost at the floor in order to place em close to Kari's level, so that didn't actually accomplish much. "Are you actually hiding a dick somewhere? It seems rude to ask, but you did ask about mine first." And it did seem to be a matter of survival now. "Or is this some kind of terrifying oviposition situation and not just that you have a dick the size of my entire body. ...Or both," he added with a grimace as he considered the size a Krotazi egg might be. He opened his mouth again, then let out a little amused but frustrated huff.
"Sorry, literally everything you're saying is just giving me more questions." He leaned his elbow against the bar more, shifting his weight, and tapped idle fingertips against the back of the Krotazi's hand the way one might idly drum on a desk. "You just don't expect to run into an economic superpower who's also huge and alien and talking gamely about human dicks, while you're just out grabbing a drink on vacation. Two of those things intersecting would be enough to fill a few hours of conversation."
