It sounded like soap was at least one reason she disliked baths. But he was glad that his suggestion ended up being useful to her. It had not been a joke on his part, at least not this time. She was a funny and chaotic person, but he wasn't actually sure how well she could take a friendly joke at the moment. He imagined she liked humor directed at other people rather than at herself at the moment, mostly based on her intense reaction to his earlier nickname suggestion.
So he was airing on the side of caution, at least for the most part when it came to taking her and making comments about her too lightly. However knowing his own nature, he figured he was going to end up messing up at some point and needing to apologize to her. He was going to have to try and prepare gifts in advance in the hope that when he did it would help ease her anger or at least annoyance with him.
"No pockets? That seems inconvenient." He noted lightly. Of course, he stored most items up his sleeves rather than in pockets, though he did have some pockets inside his robes rather than outside of them.
He smirked when she blew a raspberry at the nearly unconscious safari man. When he also heard the cheers he glanced over to the tent and grinned before looking over to where Zam was rinsing herself up. His brow twitched in surprise as he'd looked just in time to notice her top coming off. And taking a moment to admire the view. If she didn't mind shamelessly showing off, he didn't mind shamelessly having a peak. She was a very good-looking creature.
"Sounds like they just finished the ceremony inside. I'll take care of this guy. If you're worried about your clothes being wet then I'll blow dry you off when you are ready. Wind is useful for that kind of thing too." He noted since he did that kind of thing all the time after he had a shower. It was nice to be able to dry off quickly when he was done being wet.
He moved a hand, lifting the safari man with wind, and basically levitating him above the ground before going off the tent so that he could find something to tie the man off with. He didn't care if he had to weave balloon strings together for a makeshift rope. He'd make something work.
"I'm excited about getting a slice of cake! We better hurry to make sure we get a slice." He noted as he called back to Zam. Unsure how she felt about sweets yet, but he very much had a sweet tooth. He would be quite upset if he missed out on the cake.

N o matter how much the pink girl squeezed and twisted, she couldn’t quite get all the water out. She squinted at the dripping drops and her nose wrinkled. “Bleh...” Nope, trying to shake or flick the top didn’t help either. She tentatively felt it between her fingers, before cringing. Her best efforts had still left the clothes disgustingly moist. However, a surprise offer from the new friend caught the small Majin’s curiosity. She cocked her head at the claim. “Oh, you can do that?” It sounded way quicker than her usual plan of just basking in the sun. In her head, the ability to magically dry clothes was better than even making tornadoes! When a certain word was spoken, the glutton’s eyes immediately regained their golden coloration. Like magic, all fury and frustration vanished from her features. “Ooh, caaake~!” Drool dripped from her lips. She didn’t like sweets... She absolutely adored them! Even more than mischief and mayhem, she loved diving into a world of sugary wonders. In a blur of pink, Zam rushed over to Fangy. She brandished her top, waving it insistently in front of his face. “Quick, blow me! So we can go get cake!” It was probably for the best to get that handled right away. Otherwise she would rush in looking like that aaaand probably get kicked out of the whole event. Without cake. The horror. Once the Majin’s clothes were dry, she barged right into the tent. Inside, the celebration was at full swing. Music and laughter filled the air. People were dancing, chatting and most importantly... Eating. She beelined for the snack table, deftly snatching a plate and filling it with all kinds of pastries. Then there was the crown jewel... A towering wedding cake stood like a mountain of sweet cream at the center of the table. The small glutton’s gaze glimmered at the mere sight. She got a huuuge slice. It was love at first bite. “MmmMmh~! Sho ghoooood~!” She squirmed from the sheer joy of eating something so sweet. Her bad day had instantly turned into her best day yet.

He was glad when she seemed pleased with the fact that he could use his wind to quickly dry her. Especially since she seemed so miserable while she was soaking wet.
Her phrasing left him smirking, but he did quickly dry her. The wind he manipulated coated her body like a shell before expanding out and taking the water with it, leaving her body and clothes dry once he was finished. "There we go." He said before moving to head into the tent with her.
It became pretty immediately clear that as much as he loved his sweet, she was a fiend for them. The slice of cake she took for herself made that perfectly clear. He chuckled giving her back a soft pat before going to tie the man up, and binding him to a chair with a gag, before he went to grab a plate of cake for himself too, along with a glass of fruit punch. "Yes, people always go the extra mile for a well-made wedding cake." He noted eagerly digging into his own slide with a soft sigh of delight. "I guess we both enjoy sweets. Though from your expression I think perhaps your appreciation for it is far greater than even my own." He noted with amusement.
"Do you have a favorite kind of sweet?" He asked figuring he would try to remember it if she did, as something to bring her in the future. She was certainly a special and unique sort of person. And he was confident they would be good friends, if not the best of friends. He made it a point to show how much he valued his friends.

H aving dry clothes and sugary treats did wonders for Zam’s mood. Gone were the static sparks and the wisps of hot steam. In their place were glittering sparkles and cheerful humming. She devoured the cake with reckless abandon. Not even a single crumb could escape. With her around, there was no fear of any snacks going to waste. Fortunately, there was more than enough food and cake for everyone. The Majin took the question with a grin. “Yup yup~! I loooove snacks~ Almost as much as I love making things go boom~” She chimed cheerily. It was a pretty close ‘almost’ too. If she ever had to choose between blowing something up or letting it go to enjoy a taste snack... Ohhh, she didn’t even want to think about it! How was she supposed to choose? Anyone who knew her tastes would have an easy time bribing her. When the windy friend asked about favorites, the little glutton didn’t miss a beat. “Chocolate~!” Well, that was hardly a surprising reveal. It was probably harder to find one Majin who didn’t like chocolate. “Oh, and muffins too!” She continued, giddy with excitement. And sugar. Then... The greatest realization in the world hit her. “...Ooh, and definitely choco muffins~!” Combining the two things she loved was a guaranteed smash hit. Zam paused briefly, chewing the spoon idly. “Hmmm...” After a ponderous hum, she tilted her head. “What about you, Fangy? Whatcha like the best?” It was rare to see someone who liked cake like she did. ...Or at least it was rare in her home village. All the men there ate beef, eggs and other very manly foods. Delicious, but super greasy and messy.

So candy and explosions were her two favorite things in the world. Or at least that was what it sounded like. A shame they didn't have fireworks then. Although... He supposed that if she had the correct skills she could BE the fireworks.
Still, it seemed she eventually settled on chocolate muffins as the supreme treat in her opinion. He certainly liked those too. But it wasn't quite his favorite. There were a few things he liked slightly more.
"Hm, for me... I don't think anything can quite beat a freshly baked, gooey, hot, melty, batch of chocolate chip cookies." He eventually decided. After thinking about it, nothing quite satisfied him or made his mouth water more than perfectly baked, fresh, chocolate chip cookies.
"But if I can't get that, then my next favorite sweet is probably chewy caramel." He mused while eating his cake, and hummed happily while tasting the soft fluffy mix on his plate. It was a really good cake. Soft, and moist, and the icing wasn't overwhelming.
Fang didn't dislike meat, he would gladly accept a steak or ribs. He did love honey BBQ sauce the most when it came to ribs though. Sweet was still the best to him even there. But that was a very messy meal.
"So where do you come from? What is your home like?" He decided to ask, interested in how she was born among other things. He didn't know if she was an alien, a magical being, or something else like the Kai.

W ith every new nugget of information revealed, the curious creature liked her new friend more. Her eyes positively twinkled at the mere mention of chocolate chip cookies. “I’ve never had those, but they sound amazing~!” Maybe she could ask the village baker granny to make her some? She usually made only raisin cookies though because they were healthier... But healthy things made her go bleeeeh. The Majin stretched her rubbery arms and snatched herself another slice of cake without moving from the spot. “Good choices, great choices~!” She agreed eagerly. Her friend had good tastes. And speaking of good tastes, somehow the second slice tasted even better than the first. She was sure it was some sort of magic, but she wasn’t going to argue. Between the bites, Zam barely found time to answer. “Nom, I’m from nomnom Noudel Village~” Fortunately, the slice didn’t last long against the gluttonous onslaught. Gulping down the last of it, she continued. “It’s a fun place in the middle of a huuuge forest in the Green East. The buildings are small, but cozy~ And we’ve got a lot of farmers with cows, horses, chickens...” And this went on for a couple of minutes. Eventually, the pink girl ran out of farm animals to count. “...and one llama that’s super funny! He spits at robbers and kicks wolves~” If nothing else, her rambling at least served as undeniable proof that her ignorant country bumpkin attitude was no act. She was very much new to the greater world and the weirdness of it. Zam’s curiosity soon flared again. “Tell me about your home!” She demanded. “Do you live in a hidden ninja village? Can everyone there control the wind and stuff? Do you do the finger things?” She rattled off her odd questions relentlessly. It could all be blamed on watching too much TV.

He blinked and looked quite a bit more shocked to hear that she had never had a chocolate chip cookie than when she slipped her top off to try washing it. "Never- That's a travesty!" He said sounding utterly mournful for the fact. "Even if you end up not liking chocolate chip cookies, I think they are something you certainly have to try. Especially if you happen to enjoy them prepared the same way I do!" He said before finally grinning. "Once we are done here at this wedding we NEED to go somewhere we can get you some fresh cookies. Or failing that buy the ingredients so I can make the cookies myself. As long as you know where an oven we can use is, I'd be more than happy to bake you some cookie perfection." He noted with great enthusiasm. This was VERY important to him. He was half tempted to ditch the wedding right now just to get started faster. But he didn't want to leave too soon when there was still more cake, food, and drinks to enjoy.
While she told him about her home and listed off a great number of animals he was more than happy to let her talk while he ate cake, giving an occasional attentive nod to show that he was listening. Some people might have become bored listening to her long list, but Fang just became increasingly amused by the growing number of animals she listed until she finally finished.
"Sounds like a brave llama indeed." He noted with a note, admiring the story of such a noble beast. And her attitude made much more sense too. He'd thought she was just some tomboy, and she might still be that to some degree, but the fact she was a carefree county girl made even more sense.
"I lived primarily in the green east as well, however, I've never really had a single place I could call home for long. My mother and I are cultivators, but we never joined a sect. So we were always wandering and looking for ways to grow stronger, never sticking in one place for very long before feeling the need to move on. Eventually, I became old enough and strong enough that she decided to send me out on my own. It's been a few years since I left her." But she was probably just meditating while he was away. At her level, she could spend an entire year or more in meditation. After all, she was immortal now, time had little meaning for his mother. And while she had not yet reached the peak of godhood, she had achieved her goal of immortality. Which still made her a very powerful individual in the world.
"And you mean hand signs? I know a few I guess, but they are mostly used to infuse objects with energy. Most techniques where I come from don't use such things. Formations are more common using several special devices and talismans. It's a rather complex system of study though." He chuckled, having studied very little about it, and mastered even less.
"My mother uses fire herself. She could level a mountain to molten slag if she wanted to, or create immense explosions." He noted. "I think you two would get along. Just tossing explosions into the sky or something." He mused.
"Anyway, I would love to see your Noudel Village sometime though. I'm interested in how you grew up, and what kinds of friends and fun you had there." He noted with a smile. He certainly would not mind spending more time with the strange but energetic pink woman. He doubted he would find anyone else quite like her, even meeting another majin was bound to be a different experience.

G oing for a third slice of cake, the seemingly bottomless glutton listened intently. She could imagine what it was like, wandering around without a home. That had been her beginning as well, when she first... When she first came to... Huh. Funny, it was all just a blur. How had she ended up like that anyway...? Oh well, it didn’t matter! Gramps had found her when she was lost and alone. That’s all that mattered. Zam flashed a cheeky grin, as her friend affirmed her expectations. “Nyeh hee, but you still do the finger thing~” She brought her hands together in an approximation of a hand seal definitely picked up from TV. “Nin nin~!” All the best TV ninjas did that. It was their signature... thingy! The mention of the man’s mother got the small destroyer’s eyes sparkling again. “Ooooh? A whole mountain~?” Her vivid imagination painted a picture of a massive, muscular monster flexing on top of a ruined mountain. “Awesome... I wanna meet your mom one day... And fight her!” She couldn’t help it. Fighting was in her nature. A fourth slice of cake was promptly destroyed, with no end in sight. “Oh, sure~!” The pink girl nodded excitedly. “I’m sure gramps would like you~ He loves talking to travelers and sharing stories.” Suddenly, her expression soured a little. Awkwardly she scratched the back of her head. “Juuust be careful not to fall asleep when he tells his stories... He gets suuuper grumpy if you do that...” Spoken with the weight of experience. Eventually, the festivities slowed down. The brimming tables slowly emptied. People started heading home. Oh, and the police dropped by to fetch the unconscious troublemaker. The newlyweds heaped their thanks on the two bodyguards. Thanks to the combined efforts, everything had turned out for the best. With the work done, the little Majin bid her new friend farewell. Still, she made sure to memorize his tingle. She was pretty good at recognizing people from far, far away. Not only had she gotten to eat some amazing cake, she had also made a new friend. And while she didn’t quite realize it yet, she had also gained a new power... Good day...? Great day! -Exit Zam-
