No, no. I'm starting to get into this. On that end, leave it to me. It shouldn't be too hard to put more effort into being the hottest fox on two legs.
That's the spirit, Prez! See, Niki? You've already got a face for TV, so being cute and sexy ain't so hard. I'm buying you snacks later, remember? You sayin' you don't wanna be cute for a treat?
C'mon, Niki. You wanna sink your teeth into some big, juicy apples, doncha? So say it. "Winne-kun, I wuuuuv you!"
[Malkuth is so nice. Unfortunately, snacks are on the line, so, Niki barely even lets her finish her defense before he's putting on his cutest face and--]
[ yeah, she is, right against his tits with her notebook. ]
I guess work's done, so you can mess around... just be mindful, Rinne, that if Niki causes a disturbance, it'll look bad for us. As 3kon, and as Augmented.
( it's as thrilling as it is bittersweet, all this. takasugi watches the various screens quietly and muses how it would be nice for these signs to continue into autumn coming, and even the winter, and the next spring.
it would be nice. the evenings and mornings aren't even cold yet. )
[There is a huge rectangular red mark on his chest now, but.]
Relax, Prez. I'm a liar, not a thief. Anyway, Bambi's got a good point. But Niki's never gonna do anything that bad, I swear. Trust me, I've known him for years, and he's never caused me any trouble. I don't wanna give him more grief more than I already have.
[Then, a shy smile.]
Besides, I don't wanna waste my time in jail when I gotta spend it having fun with you.
I just figured if I called you guys, I'd be exercising my responsibility to let you know what the fuck is happening to me!
I mean, it's my fault. I had to repay a debt again, so I got carried away. Now I'm stuck in the same situation you warned me about. Thank god Bambi's a good person. She had real notes on everything. She's amazing... My luck's been pretty good today. I'll add her to the work chat.
[ wow.......... she got added to their chat....... she's official now, right? accepted beyond a doubt? she should be more grateful, and she will be in time, but for now--
malkuth's tossing rinne's washed shirt at the back of his head, waving off the apology she'd returned to. at least it smells generically clean... when she has her own place she can have her own detergent. ]
To be honest, I like trouble. [ maybe that's odd. especially since she seems like such a good girl, but... it's true. she does. ] So cause as much as you want, as long as everyone's smiling at the end of it -- I promise, I'll always have your backs no matter what hell you raise in whoever's direction.
[ even if her natural soul is so against it, that doesn't matter. malkuth is determined. ]
