It was weirder because he wasn't intentionally wrangling her in. He hadn't been looking in the direction of flirtation and oddly enough while he had little trouble getting female attention - most of the time - this girl picked up on him (with interest) without a single line put before her. She was... genuinely interested in him and he was having a typical conversation. Something the way he would have with Samus, except less sarcasm, less cynicism, and less dry humour.

He blatantly stopped whatever thought process he was on and looked down to her. Somewhat wide eyes. Genuine eyes. Snake wouldn't have called himself smart, but he had his moments. And the man was observant. One had to give credit where credit was due.

"Yeah." It was a simple way to answer. The best way he could think up immediately. "Did. I'd do it again. Probably will if I ever visit Alaska. It's not an experience I know how to describe." Because that was going into feelings territory and only certain times called for a discussion on the heart, even with something simple. "Feels good."

I guess. Because he was pretty sure that sounded really stupid.
