You change the subject.

Walking up and sitting at the desk, you ask her,”What did you make for a character?”

She smiles, her interest in the drawer set aside, “Well I hope you don’t mind, but I looked up Kender after Steve said it was what you made and they are actually pretty cool. Oh and he said he wasn’t thinking when he said you could have the spidersilk armor, it was medium sized and your character is small. So he said instead he would say your shield is +1 and as a lot of pictures of Kender have them wearing like hide bikinis, furry leg warmers and like thick arm braces and bands if you were cool with it you could have something we found called battle dress armor. It only gives +1 ac but he said he would make it +1 and say it would still protect you in wild shape as it is mainly just wrappings for your arms and legs and like beaded strands that somewhat protect your torso. So with the shield and your dex your AC is 19 which is pretty good. Oh, so then I was inspired by your character idea and decided I could play a an elemental wizard. Oh but I wanted to ask, is your character going to be attracted to guys, girls, or something else, because I was thinking the easiest way to say we were traveling together would be to say we were like dating or something.”

“Oh, I don’t know. I guess my character is attracted to…

Guys.”

Girls.”

Somewhere else on the spectrum.”
