[Oh dear, should she reach over to rub his back!]

Ah, I mean, I'm touched, truly. [That he was that responsible. That even when they literally had a marathon (hmm), he took care of her throughout.] I'm not so easily owned, but I allowed it at the time.

[She straightens up and folds her hands in front of her.]

You can go first. [She has this feeling he has a lot to say too, from how he leapt up onto his feet. She's a patient woman.]

[coasts]

Lookin' back now, I said a lotta shit that doesn't sit well with me now.

[ Just like how he said he owned her and how possessive he was. He's glad the two of them have the chance to clear the air and she's not actively avoiding him. She did allow it, she consented, but it bothers him now that he's in a better state of mind. ]

But, uh, it looks like you're fine, but I just wanted to know if I hurt you then or somethin'. Last thing I wanna do is hurt a woman. I promised that to myself. I gotta treat you right, you know, for sex an' outside of it an' all.

[ who let samatoki talk he's not making sense ]

[hoasen]

Well, a lot of the time we were driven by...heat of the moment?

[Was it just heat of the moment? She felt a lot more angry at times back then. Like she was the Incredible H*** or something. Still, time to listen. He's also rambling which she could understand. She does the same when she starts to panic.]

No it's...it's fine. You didn't hurt me. I'm quite strong, even normally. And I heal fast too. The bites didn't last a day. [Sorry...] Anyway, you did treat me right, truly. You let me into your home, let me use the shower, clothed me. We just...got i-intimate along the way. [Okay, now she's losing her calm.] A-and I know! Since you're the type to take care of others, and even with all your claims, you don't have to be responsible for me. If you thought that by saying such things then, you'd have to. I understand.

[coasts]

[ More like it was just heat.

With Vietnam rambling too, he can't help but let out a laugh. It's not at her he's laughing at, but with the huge wave of relief off his shoulders from talking like this, he's pretty happy. ]

So you're fine with everything?

[ By which he means if she's not mad at him. ]

[hoasen]

[HEAT.

She can't help it! But his laugh sounds lovely, so now she fiddles with the tips of her hair.]

Yes. Strange thing to admit, but despite it all, I really enjoyed myself.

[Mental AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.]

HELP

[coasts]

[ Oh my god he's so bold. Samatoki's cheeks flush pink JUST A LITTLE at her comment. ]

Yeah, me too.

[ WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CONVERSATION ALDJALFJAL ]

You wanna do it again some time?

NO HELP ME!!!

[hoasen]

[No he is for asking such a question.

She splutters, for a moment, before her hands reach her lap, gripping onto the fabric of her clothes. GOD.]

Well...I don't mind. Even outside of the moon phases.

[Her voice was quieter, for once, and she did imply they can get dirty any time. Wow.]

[coasts]

[ oh. Well. He only asked that because he wanted to know that she was fully okay with it all. That she'd want to have sex with him even if she wasn't under the spell of Sanguis. But her saying more is... ]

Yeah, I— [ ... not expected. ] Yeah.

Same.

[ He's gonna die. She's killing him. ]

[hoasen]

[And it turns out she was, because if they had already had an actual sex marathon, then why stop something they already started?

Even if it was very wild. She blushes deeply when he reciprocates the idea. Especially since it's not during the moonphases.

She stands up.]

Then can I try something? Don't worry, it won't lead to anything today.

[coasts]

[ Samatoki arches a brow at that, curious. Then he leans back, head high. What's she doing? ]

Yeah? What is it?

[hoasen]

[She walks over to him now, while he's still seated, and bends, taking his chin by her fingers.]

Please excuse my forwardness.

[It's a test, but she kisses the corner of his lips, chaste and soft. It's not quite a full kiss, but she's trying to see how he reactions.]

[coasts]

[ Samatoki is definitely not minding the forwardness, but the only reaction he gives her when she kisses him is a hand on her arm in case she falls over or something. He doesn't return the kiss because she said she wants to test something, and he doesn't know what. He doesn't want to be the one who's too forward, even though there's nothing awkward between the two of them and there's also the mutual sexual attraction... agreement? ]

[hoasen]

[There, it was nice and soft and he never flinched. So she turns again, this time, to press her lips to his. Once more, it's soft, gentle, and she only lingers a little before she pulls back.]

How did you feel?

[They have their agreement that they is mutual sexual attraction. It might just be all physical, but was it something that carried over when the moon moved away?]

[coasts]

[ Samatoki kisses her back this time, soft and sweet. It's nothing like the hungry and powerful kisses he has so graciously provided her a few moons ago. He chases after her when she pulls away, but realises this act of his immediately that he heels right away. ]

Nice. [ ... ] Was that what you were testing out?

[hoasen]

[His kiss was so soft that she was almost tempted to continue it. But she had to speak first, her eyes gazing at his.]

Nice...I felt so too. [She shrugs lightly.] It was. I wanted to know if we would feel the same way after. Like this.

[She presses her lips to his again. Deeper but slow, just to taste him a little before they settle down again.]

[coasts]

Hm.

[ He hums an acknowledgement while she sits back down, then he moves back to eat some of the pie. ]

What would happen if it wasn't the same?

[hoasen]

[She reaches for her food again, readying herself for a bite--]

Well...I guess I would say you don't have to feel pressured if you don't feel attracted to me.

[She knows that to get sexually intimate, there has to be some level of attraction. Even if they're fine with it because of how much time they spent being so close, it's different if it wasn't the same when they're lucid.]

[coasts]

[ Ah, that makes sense. It's also good to know that neither of them have the intention of sleeping around with just about anyone. Vietnam has standards and it's comforting to know he's able to attract her in some way.

He leans forward, one arm resting on the table. ]

We're pretty much like idols, back in my Japan. You're with a celebrity right now, pretty much.

[ What a smug asshole. Maybe he just wants to impress her. ]

[hoasen]

[What was that? She leans forward as he does, and he looks so smug with that grin on his face and very bold claim. If she was guessing right, it seemed like he was trying to impress her. Was this something boys do?

If it is, then perhaps the feeling is reciprocated that there was some kind of attraction, whether or not there were others in their lives, just that it worked for them. Now she feels like this is a little like a Tinder date, except she's never actually used Tinder.]

Oh? Should I ask for an autograph? Then again, I was curious about how you rap, rap god. [Oh she remembers.]

[coasts]

[ He's not ashamed. Vietnam called him that first. It's not a title he's willingly calling himself. She started it. :) ]

What do you know?

[ He's speaking to her comfortably. It's nice. He'll try to tone it down at least if she says anything about his ego. ]

[hoasen]

[Look! She's just teasing--he took in stride, that's for certain.]

Let's see, I don't know in much detail other than what Riou told me. Something about Hypnosis Microphones, a change of government. And rap battles! And that you're the leader, of course. But when it comes to hearing you all rap...

[Hint hint. She wants to hear!]

[coasts]

Rap isn't just music. It's how we fight.

[ His demeanour changes just a little. He's a bit more serious now, and there's a little bite in his tone. ]

We rap for pride, we rap for territory, we rap to stay alive. It's not meant for entertainment, but the government's using us like dogs just so they can have fun.

Mad Trigger Crew lost to Matenrou, they rep the Shinjuku Division, but we'll be back eventually. It's not the end.

[hoasen]

[So that was what Riou was implying before, she understands now.]


So you are another group's entertainment. [The government's.] But you're still famous? Because with talent you would be able to win? [But she wonders, what happens if they don't win?]

Mad Trigger Crew, are you doing this because you have to, or because you enjoy it? [She asks this because she wonders what Samatoki was before, since it seemed like Riou would want to go back to the military.]

[coasts]

The women vote on who gets to win. [ He shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly. ] Even if I'm like this, we still have some fans.

Though I wouldn't have gotten this far without Jyuto and Riou. They're powerful on their own.

I rap because I know it makes a difference. [ He takes another bite of the pie. This is a lot more chat about himself than he expected. He's serious, he's calm, he's not at all angry. ] When the time comes, I'm gonna change how the shitty system works.

[ There's a small grin on his face now, confident as it is passionate. Perhaps his ideals may be the same as Ichiro's, but he certainly has a more violent way of imagining how things will be. ]

[hoasen]

Oh...understood. So that's why you said you have fans. You have...groupies? [Or are they afraid of women in a way? Not that she minded a world where women have more power, but in the way Riou described, and not how Samatoki is saying either.]

I think so. Riou has a very strong voice, just like yours. So, Jyuto is another member of your team...

Anyway, this...it makes sense to me. It's a tool, a weapon, a voice. [She fiddles with the ends of her ponytail.] I understand, you know who I am. [She is Vietnam, and she have fought many wars before on the quest to change "shitty systems".] So if you're going to make a difference, I believe in the idea.
