Why did he run away? Well Shin certainly could answer with the statement 'You were going to rip out my heart and devour it' because that would easily just make her madder and she was currently seated in a position with many advantages. And he couldn't tell her that his mother told him to stray clear of females...because he didn't want to bring his poor innocent mother into this situation.
"I don't like women," he answered bluntly, "They...are frightening examples of the humanoid species." And this could not be denied. She had tried to threaten him to spend his money on her behalf, had tripped him and was now seated firmly on his back. And none of this had been done politely. Women were worse than demons, he was convinced of that.

Soso raised her brows in certain understanding. "I see." She leaned forward. "I can usually tell," she started carefully, "When someone's gay. I guess you just took me by surprise."

"I'm not 'gay'," Shin muttered under his breath in a hiss. His mother had warned him about being 'gay' or 'homosexual'...people didn't like you and bad things usually ended up happening. Shin viewed himself lucky that he had never fallen in love with a man, the ridicule would have been horrendous. And he was glad that he hadn't fallen in love with a woman, because that would surely have spelt his future doom.

"Not gay, huh?" She said skeptically, leaning back. Her fists dug into his lower back, the pressure light and encouraging. "What are you then? I'm having quite a time trying to figure out why a boy like you would be running away from breasts when other scoundrels your age would be running to them!" She laughed shortly, more of a bark than a sound of actual pleasure. She doubted she could even remember the last time she had laughted with pleasure. She found that as the day progressed, there were many things she could not remember.
However, this boy was intriguing. Travellers, as she knew them, were a rough breed. With all types of dangers like bad weather and road robbers, one had to be. But this one; this one looked as rough as a kitten.

"If you haven't noticed, I'm not a normal man," Shin replied through gritted teeth. And he could quite possibly be the only sane male that there was. Love and affection got you hurt, with a man or a woman. But women were vicious, especially when he didn't understand a thing about them.
After this particular comment he kept his mouth shut, might as well not talk to her. He would just get himself in trouble. He had nothing to offer her and the sooner she realized this...the better.

She threw her head back and laughed the same, short laugh. "Too true! We've been talking for what? Five minutes, and you still haven't tried to get me off of you." She moved, slowly lifting her weight off the man's back, till she stood over him looking down. "But you are correct; you are most definitely not a normal man. Not once have you tried to hurt me." Her face softened a bit, in what appeared to be appreciation. She walked around his fallen frame, before facing him fully. She held out her hand. "C'mon, "She murmured. "Let me buy you a drink."

Shin stared at the hand skeptically for a moment, her attitude had changed so abruptly that it took him by total surprise. He hadn't fought her because she was a woman. That answer was simple enough. His mother had taught him a great deal about the dangers of the woman but she had ordered that he never lift a hand against them. Better to just run.
He did take her hand however but didn't use it heavily to get himself to his feet. "Thank you..." he said softly with a half nod. He didn't refuse the drink, though he knew he probably shouldn't. But he didn't have enough money at the moment that would allow him to refuse the offer. So...he said nothing more.

She released her hand from the man's light grip, staring intently at him for a moment. The left corner of her lips twitched upward, and she placed both hands on her hips. Since I'm being the gentleman and buying the drink, you be the lady and find directions for the nearest tavern." She noted the unfamiliar surroundings with a judgmental eye, then turned it disapprovingly on him. "You do know where we are, don't you?"

Shin looked around him, looking to the rolling waves and he turned slowly to look to the land. "I don't know the name..." he said slowly, "Things like that don't really matter to me." He pointed a finger across the shore, "But I do understand the factors that make a village successful."
He smiled, "This is a dock which means that ships will stop near here which means that many sailors will end up here. Once on land they will look for a good time and they'll probably look for room and food...which can both be found at a bar...along with good drink and music." His finger continued to point across the land until it stopped, pointing at a building standing at the edge of the village. "That is most likely a tavern..." he said with a shrug.

Soso moved her arms to cross over her chest. She sighed in a weary sort of way. " Well, I suppose I'll have to give you credit for that," she stated clearly to him. To herself, she mumbled inaudibly, "But that will be the only I give to you." A thoughtful expression crossed her face, and with a sharp turn, she tramped in the direction he pointed in. She stopped, turning to see his progress. "That drink has its conditions, sir." She remarked, before continuing her pace.

"Conditions?" Shin asked, following her some distance behind. He didn't know why he was actually following her but he had an idea that he probably wouldn't be able to run away right now. He would have to work for a better moment right now...running didn't work with her.
"What kind of conditions?" he asked, lifting his eyebrows as he made his way easily up the beach towards the tavern on the edge of the village.

"Oh, don't fret, you jittery little thing," she called out, not bothering to turn and face him directly. "I'm not willing to allow you to expose your naughties until we have at least three drinks in you." The pair make their way up the beach, ascending the slope that led away from the oceanic setting. The town before them was moderately advanced for a coastal town which generated a fair amount of activity. Soso, who had seen far more impressive structures and barely batted an eyelash, honed her gaze directly onto the rough-worn tavern close by. "As for conditions," she continued, "I'd only felt it necessary to bother you with the loss of the drink before you actually started to follow. But now that you've taken the hint, I daresay I only bring said conditions up when the draft is already passed your lips."

Naughties? Shin arched a single eyebrow this time, staring at the back of the woman's head. What were those pray tell? He blinked his eyes silently a couple of times, opening his mouth several times but he didn't really know what to say. "I'm not really big on drinking..." he said slowly, though she didn't know that he didn't get drunk easily.
Demons had a high tolerance for alcohol, while his human side did not. That meant he could drink quite a bit...but when he did drink too much...which usually happened with over...twenty five or so...it meant immediate unconsciousness...no hint pre-faint.

"Oh, being drunk is a pleasant side effect, but that's not why I asked you to come for a drink. " She stopped dead in her tracks, and turned to face the man, a warily dangerous look on her face. "You had best pray to whatever God exists that I don't start believing that you've only come to inebriate an exceptionally beautiful woman for your own devilish purposes," she grunted through gritted teeth, emphasizing the second last word.

"Devilish purposes?" Shin questioned, perplexed by her comment. What had given her any indication that he was the sort of person to take advantage of a young woman? From everything he had done and said thus far he would have more likely believed that she thought he was weak. Were all women like this? Assuming the worst from men, despite a man's actions? He didn't believe he had done anything to indicate that he was planning something terrible.
"I find myself rather confused with your comment..." he brought the idea to her attention. "I don't have any alterior motives...nor do I find you exceptionally beautiful in any sense." He wasn't meaning to be rude. He was trying to ward off her suspicioun that he was someone to be weary around.
