At her comment about their difference in height Madrigal would chuckle as he nodded. He would pick her up as previously stated in the previous post and hold her carefully, hands resting on her thighs to ensure she could not fall off from his shoulders. The ending result didn't look too much different from an older brother, or even a parent giving their female family member a ride on their shoulders. Of course the fact that was wearing a fucking miniskirt didn't go unnoticed to Madrigal and he had to fight to suppress certain feelings as he felt the fabric of her lacy underwear against the back of his neck. She was kind enough to keep his hair out from under her so that it didn't pull painfully and at her comment about his dark locks he would laugh lightly. "Well thank you, I try to take care of it." He said simply, before he passed her her notepad and pen again so that she could do her writing. He felt flattered that she wanted to write about his fair of all things given that it was just hair. Although he always did go to great lengths to take care of it in his past life. Working around hot forges, steam, and other such environments wasn't good for ones hair so he had had to go to great lengths to ensure it was properly taken care of.
As she got comfortable he would blink in surprise as her comfortable position involved setting her chest upon his head. Some men around him, and a few women too actually, looked at them curiously, some with jealousy. Once she was comfortable he would begin to move off in that direction, both to get to them moving again and to get away from the stares. He felt her grab a piece of his hair and inhale, the feeling quite obvious given he could feel the rise and fall of her chest upon his cranium. Oh this was not going to be easy for him to deal with at all. Of course this day had to become odd, and in the oddest ways too. However he would simply move through it. Besides, there was no reason something good couldn't happen. All in all the experience with Zoe had been pleasant. She had been unfailingly kind and in a cute way was extremely curious about everything.
It was like she was a child that had just had her eyes opened and she was trying to experience everything at once, frantically reaching for new and interesting things. They didn't even have to particularly interesting to everyone else. They were simply interesting to her because they were [i]new[/]. He found he rather liked her and certainly wouldn't mind getting to know her better over their meal, or even their question and answer session later. Although he had only agreed to answer questions she asked. She had never made the same agreement. He wondered if she would answer them anyway, well, they could find out later. At her answer to his question he would consider her words, merely giving her a shrug at her statement of braiding his hair. He didn't mind, it would just add to the cutesy sibling image. Or perhaps a short and flowery girlfriend? It didn't matter either way. "By all means, feel free, style it as you want. I just ask that you don't damage it." He would say simply, giving her free reign to do as she wished with his hair from her position.
The question of what to do next though was nagging at the tall Hyuga and he considered the options carefully. "Well, the city isn't going anywhere...Actually I suppose it is, but the individual buildings and such will be here after we eat. We might as well satiate our hunger first and then enjoy the scenery and indulge in our curiosities afterwards. Or we could save that for later and eat then go to the question and answers thing. It doesn't matter to me, anyway, do you have any preference on where we go to eat?" He would ask curiously as he considered what to go eat. He wasn't worried about funds, he had stockpiled a considerable fortune during his business enterprises as Azalea. He could and would gladly pay for their meal. He'd already bought a hotel room for himself and had intended to stay for a couple of days before making the last of the journey to Kirigakure. Actually the more he considered it the more he realized that Zoe didn't even have an outfit on her that suited the ability to conceal a pouch for money. He couldn't even see a fuinjutsu on her, had she simply appeared here or something? More questions for later. Anyway, he foresaw himself paying their dinner and probably paying for her to have a hotel room as well before it was all said and done. Which he wouldn't mind doing. Even here in the Emporium where violence was illegal and rigidly enforced it wasn't safe, or polite for a young woman, especially one as innocent looking and attractive as Zoe, to be out alone at night.
