[Kale trusts that Giovanni knows what he's doing. He seems to know what to do in these sorts of situations more than she does, and she has yet to discover that he's just adapting his skills accordingly like she is. So she lets him take the lead without hesitation. Allowing others to take the lead is what's most natural to her, except in select situations where her abilities make her more suited.]
I've been training with her in my free time to be an Amazon.
[And Diana's gift to her reflected that. She'd received an Amazon's headbrace - probably the most suitable piece of Amazon armour that she could be given, in light of the increase in muscle mass when she transforms.]
[Not something he'd known, that. Though the question comes as light and remote as everything else he says, as though his interest is a distant thing, oddly muted. And he does lead them through this dance, never mind that - despite appearances - he's not so different from she when it comes to allowing others to take control. Abdication of agency is something hammered down so deep into his bones that it's doubtful he'll ever truly shake free of it. Doesn't want to, besides.
But he does a good enough job of looking like someone who's cool and in control, laughs soft and low when her question comes. His answer, though, may give some hint of his true leanings.]
I suppose you could say I'm still working that out. Spare time was somewhat hard to come by, you see, until recently.
[It's why he takes on more shifts with the Guard than is strictly necessary. Why he needs to be told to take time off, rather than longing for it, as most do.]
[Although Diana seemed to appreciate warriors of all sorts, she in particular embraced female warriors. It seems like a way for her to stay connected with her culture, if anything.
She listens to his explanation, and although she doesn't have any idea of the extent that Giovanni was deprived of free time, it's enough to at least make her think of a soldier. Someone who was nearly always on duty.]
Do you cook? That's a good life skill and it can be rewarding when you make something delicious.
