"Because I am 100% real. All American and all." Though Oz so did not need to get into any of that right then. He had a bit of a pride issue when it came to being Native American that did not always need to be flashed around at people who were not. After all, most kids had been raised just like him and there was no one out in the woods hunting deer just to survive anymore. Except Rednecks. But that was just kind of funny to him even when his mom pointed out it should actually be sort of sad. Oz was notably not good at sympathy. Just like he was not always good at picking up on what was a bad idea. Like right here and now - talking to Emyli when she talked and looked like that just screamed 'no don't do it, Eva wouldn't approve'. Dagmar might. Dagmar was weird like that. "Then in that case, here you go." And he gave up his number before waiting for the return.
Oz just grinned. His friends had teased him about his mom and how much she knew sometimes, and he just took it. Kara Snow was no otter but she was without a doubt the matriarch of their not-so-little family and she had a way of hearing everything that stemmed right from owning their store. "I don't, but I've got about eight siblings who do. Keeping secrets or gossip from a family that big just doesn't happen. And who you calling little? I could use you for a bench press." He might be able to do that just if he was a human. "Huh... must be it. I just graduated this year. You don't look that much older than me. When did you escape school?"
