"Weeeeell," She stretches, looking up at the sky a moment before looking to Alex again. "I'm a humanist! At least, when I'm not racing strangers in the park." An event that she seems quite content with.
"And I make stuff. Er." Too vague, Kasey. That could mean anything. Instead, she reaches for her belt, unloosing a button on one of the pouches to show off a small metal half shell. "Mostly tech stuff. Little stuff." She makes sure to clarify, just in case. "I was planning to head out to get more supplies later, so i don't really have anything on me that you'd probably wanna see." Disappointment tinges her tone, only to vanish a moment later.
"There's other stuff, too." Stuff he'd probably actually be interested in.

"You make stuff?"
That was pretty interesting. Even more so when she revealed the small metal half shell. Though what it did he couldn't say. She seemed somewhat disappointed that she didn't have anything impressive to show him, which just wouldn't do! He would be damned if he would let disappontment tarnish this meeting.
"Hey that is pretty cool. Did you shape it yourself? You must be pretty talented."
He said with a smile, blinking as she continued. Did she have more to share?
"Like what?"

His interest brings a muffled sigh of relief and a cheerful hum. Since he wasn't bored with the idea like some could be, Kasey reached into her pocket with another sunny expression.
"Usually, yeah." It was usually cheaper if she could find the stuff she needed rather than order it, a thought that goes unspoken as she pulls out a small metal orb with an indentation at the top where a button resides.
"A lot of what I have at the moment are just parts, but I have a couple of smoke bombs, too."

"What do you need smoke bombs for? Don't tell me you are secretly a troublemaker! I don't buy it."
He said laughing.

"Maaaaaybe," she replies in a sing-song voice. She laughs and wiggles the fingers of one hand at him as though they were claws. "Plot twist: I'm the one the boogey man's afraid of." Returning the device back to it's proper pouch, she presses her palms against the pole and leans back with careless ease. The idea of falling doesn't seem to concern her.
"But there's more than just me out in the world, so yeah." She dismounts from the pole with a small leap, the vague explanation making perfect sense to her.

He laughed a bit harder as she waggled her fingers at him. Taking a step back as he covered his face. "I will have to keep that in mind and stay on your good side then! I mean if the Boogeyman is afraid of you then I don't stand a chance!"
The vague explanation that she made after her joking comment didn't really make a lot of sense to him though. Unless she was saying that she felt the need to protect herself. That was smart. If that was the case at least.
"Oh? Are you part of some evil gang or something?"

"Yep. I'm super scary when I'm angry, so watch out." As scary as a drenched kitten trying to claw its way out of the tub. She turns on her heel, fingers lacing as her hands go behind her back, laughing at the imagined scene. Shaking her head, they unfold a moment later so she can waggle a finger at him.
"Careful, the truth could bring you trouble~"

"Hmmm. Maybe you should forget I asked. I'm not really the kind of guy to go looking for trouble."
He bit down on his lower lip, taking a small step back, just in case she really was trouble. He wasn't really looking for his little jaunt through the park to end in violence. And while she was probably kidding she might not be. There was a pretty big spike in crime rate lately, not to mention this city seemed to be rife with Supers. You could hardly judge a book by it's cover these days. Even a sweet innocent girl like Kasey seemed to be could secretly be an evil blood thirsty maniac!

She blinks in surprise, then shakes her head. As much as Kasey might make light of things to deflect from the darker situation, it looked like Alex thought she might actually be trouble. Which was silly, but he did keep asking those questions like he expected something from her.
"It's okay, really. You're fine with me." She offers him a reassuring smile.
"It's just not safe on the streets, you know? Especially if you're walking out on your own. So I make sure I have a way of getting away or there's an emergency."

He seemed to visibly relax at her reassurance that she wasn't actually trouble. That she was just being pragmatic about the situation that the city was in. And that was sometimes it just wasn't safe. Still he had to wonder just how much good smoke bombs would do against some of the people that you read about in the papers. It didn't seem like it would do much more than make them angry. But if it made her feel safer maybe that was the true purpose?
"Well I guess if it's to cause a distraction so you can run away that's pretty smart. But I wouldn't really advise trying to fight someone after dropping one of those smoke bombs. You could get hurt!"

"Mhmm." Another nod as she listens to his advice, shifting her weight to her other foot as they speak.
"Yeah, I'm not planning on fighting if I throw them. That defeats the purpose." She makes a face, but the cheerful demeanor remains. "There's a lot of people out there that could probably pummel me with a look, but I can make sure I have a chance. And there's always improvement." Her determination gives way as she look at him carefully.
"But what about you? You know more about me than I do about you." So not fair.

"Do I? I don't know about that." He said with a small laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean we know each others hobbies now I guess and each others names. I would say we are about even. But if you want to know something, just ask. I'm a pretty open book."

"No, I know a hobby," she points out. "Two, maybe. You like to run or work out, and you're a performer. You know I run and am a gymnast, that I create things, and that I'm not the head of a secret evil organization." She ticks off each item on a finger as she lists them.
"So, what else do you do for fun?"

"That's pretty much it on the fun department. I work, I study, I practice. A lot of practice. But you have to keep at it if you want to be the best. Right? Nothing beats hard work and dedication."
He shrugged.
"For what's it's worth I'm not the head of a secret evil organization either. So there's that."
It was something.

"Ah, so you weren't actually worried about competition then. That's good." Another shift in weight as the urge to start walking again and not just stand around hits her.
"What do you study?"
