It isn't about whether or not Lauralae minds, Shura almost says, but she gives up on trying to get the lion to behave. There wasn't much point in arguing it in this kind of place, and the barmaid is leaning out the window to thunk a couple glasses on the table. Shura can distract herself from Shishi's manners by drinking.

"If it suits you, then whatever, I guess." What other animals was she talking about?? Did Shura really want to know? For his part, Shishi just continues to nuzzle and sniff.
