[ The feed turns on with Tiara sitting in front of the feed and Cui on her lap. No, Cui isn't a pokemon either. ]

Well, it would seem that I, too, have acquired a number of these poke-mon creatures, although it has taken me some time to give my latest a proper name. [ She turns the feed around a bit to an Absol paying the feed little mind. ] After much deliberation, I have finally decided.

Her name is Lianna Alyssandra Desdemona Yessica, or, to simplify matters, "Lady" for short. Regrettably, it took me much longer than I intended to finalize her name, and regrettably due to my extended deliberation I have lost a bet that I agreed to with my companion. ... As a result I must serve him, for one week, for a change. Much as I am loathe to cooperate, I am not one to back out of a deal.

I find myself mildly curious if others have involved themselves in similar 'bets' in the past? No matter, failing that, I wish to know of the best places one can acquire fashionable and high quality attire in the event my own clothing becomes torn or dirty. It it my guess that those who have been here longer than I may have a better idea of such. Money is no object.

[ There's just no way this was going to end well. There was also no way that Fang wasn't going to gloat about winning his bet with her. And for a whole week. ugh. Well, she was a lady of her word. That didn't mean she wasn't a little peeved about it, especially knowing that her Absol had deliberately sabotaged her for her own amusement. Both Absol and Cui were sitting side by side, watching Tiara pace small circles until Tiara glanced at the pokemon and the fairy. ]

This is your fault, you realize.

"Absol.." "Cui!~"

[ Tiara siiiighed, giving both a pat on the head. Well she wasn't about to back out now - surely Fang wouldn't gloat too much right? Well he was about to get quite a greeting to say the least. ]

Comments

[fatedefyingwill]

[As long as she didn't expect him to snip back occasionally and toss a few teasing comments her way in return. By the time he does pull away, the smile on his lips is that much more genuine.]

I won't forget~

[hatedbloodline]

[ Honestly she'd think it strange if he didn't. As much as she complained, she actually preferred that side of him. A small blush rose to her cheeks again at that smile of his, and she hugged him again, quickly. ]

Good - I will hold you to that.

[ ...she was incredibly tempted to stay like that, holding him close, but that was certainly not appropriate. She nudged gently at his shoulders. ]

Now then, move so that I may sit up properly. [ Oh. ] Please.

[fatedefyingwill]

[He looks very reluctant to comply but in the end he lets out a resigned sigh before slowly straightening himself up from Tiara. Though there is a moment where he absolutely does admire the view.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ She almost regrets she insisted he get up from that reaction. Loosening her arms as he pulled back, she slowly sat up, pink cheeked. ]

What? It's...it's embarrassing the way you stare like that...!

[ Not that she'd want him to stop anyway, it was rather nice to see him appreciating her appearance more. As well he should anyway. Not that she'd eeeeeeever stare at him like that - no way, nuh-uh. Your imagination. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Oh nothing. Just thinking that the maid getup totally looks perfect on you.

[Yep teasing was back on the table now that the intimate moment where he laid his cards out had passed.]

[hatedbloodline]

Ah! Please try to remember that I am a maid only temporarily!

[ She's just playing into his teasing really, smiling faintly. Okay her attire aside... ]

[fatedefyingwill]

All the more reason to enjoy the view while I can~

[hatedbloodline]

[ SHe shifted, shaking her head, teasing. ]

I suspect you will 'enjoy the view' from now on. Unless I were to put on more concealing attire, that is. Of course, that is a likely possibility once it begins to get cold outside.

Oh my, whatever will you do then?

[fatedefyingwill]

Oh I'll still enjoy the view of you snuggled up in thick clothes.

[ Why wouldn't he? It's not like her showing skin is what made him desperate enough to travel time for her.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ She chuckled quietly. ]

Well, I will have to see if you keep your word in that matter. [ If he REALLY liked seeing her bundled up. ]

Though you are not permitted to laugh if I am forced to wear multiple layers of clothing simply to stay warm. [ So there. ]

.. come to think of it, I shall need to purchase warmer attire in preparation for the coming months as well. I have only this to wear for the nonce.

[fatedefyingwill]

Oh you'll see.

[He smirks right back at Tiara before she mentioned the current state of her wardrobe.]

Hmmm? Well there's a bunch of stores in some of the other cities aren't there?

[hatedbloodline]

There are, yes, and I intend to visit several. Needless to say I will not need you to accompany me. You'll thank me later, I'm sure.

[ Walking from store to store with her would be hideously boring for him, she thought. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Oh so you won't need my help carrying the hundreds of bags you'll end up with in the end? Cool!

[hatedbloodline]

Hmhm, I will simply have the shopkeep deliver my purchases personally. But if you are so eager for tasks to do I am sure I can find a way of keeping you busy.

[ Gasp! She's threatening him with busywork! Well, not really. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

You know that sounds dirtier than you think, right?

[He'll tease her right back if that's how she wants to play ball.]

[hatedbloodline]

Wh.. Oh! Fang, really!

[ He could probably have predicted that blush when she realized how her words sounded. Scoldscold! Though she grins at her companion after a moment. ]

You know that is not what I meant...!

[fatedefyingwill]

Maybe I do maybe I don't~

[The fact that she got tripped up and blushed was rather incriminating after all.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara would deny that! ]

What do you mean 'maybe'?

[ Hmph. ]

Nevermind - I can assure you I didn't mean anything... erm... dirty. You simply have a perverted mind~! [ YAH. His fault. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Fang knows full well she'd deny it. But still that's enough teasing for a while.]

Says the one who gets all quivery when I actually act mean towards her.

[Okay one last jab for the road. Now he's done.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ She blushed deeper at that. ]

You don't need to point that out..! ..but I can hardly help that.

[ After all, she was raised prim and proper (probably), and no one ever talked to her the way he did! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Well it is part of who you are~

[Even though he's more or less agreeing with her why does he make it sound like he's the winner in admitting that?]

[hatedbloodline]

[ ... she's not sure she likes the way he says it so casually. In fact, she eyes him suspiciously for a second, as if she was suspecting him of deceit, mockery or other such tomfoolery. ]

... Yes, I ..suppose...

[ Damn his poker face. ]

Nonetheless, I suppose we should call it a day. I do after all, have to purchase warm clothing tomorrow, so I will be out bright and early as per usual. Try to stay out of trouble while I'm away, all right?

[ Because he totally has a rep for causing trouble...well, maybe when it came to dine and dashing. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[What? Perish the thought! Someone of his standing pulling a fast one on milady? Inconceivable! ]

Hah that's easy. I'll just sleep in until around lunch time~ It'll be a vacation!

[She forgets how much of a sloth he was when they first met doesn't she?]

[hatedbloodline]

[ ... no, but she can see she should have amended her request to 'stay out of trouble and don't spend your entire day sleeping! still. ]

... How can you possibly spend hours sleeping even now? Before I could understand it, in a way, since we were always searching for Furies, and so much happened at times we did not get a full night's sleep - but I have never met someone who sleeps so heavily as you do in the morning.

[ .. but she didn't say he couldn't! She'll just have to wake him up like usual, when she got back. Welll maybe not -exactly- like usual. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Would you rather I go out on a job without you? I don't really have many options if you're not around.

[Oh he's just dropping bombs on top of her left and right and center.]
