...never underestimate his ability to be childish. Also he's busy surreptitiously stalking again, just to make sure she doesn't trip or anything on her way up the stairs. ]
[ Moe and Shiho go together like windshield wipers and a duck-billed platypus, or something. Anyway, by the time she arrives, Hyoubu is innocently perched on somebody's skylight, lit dramatically from below. ]
I was beginning to think you weren't interested, Empress.
Playing hard to get works only up to a point. A man might change his mind, while you're keeping him waiting.
[ At the same time he speaks, he transmits a thought to her, telepathically: I want to talk to you about information that's come to light regarding the recent CERES tours. ]
[ There's an image in his mind of the Empress surrounded by thicket of thorns, of her own making. Being able to overhear thoughts, that people didn't realize they were thinking out loud... it's a curse, as much as it is a power, particularly for a child.
He yanks that thought down beneath the surface as soon as he realizes he's having it, but his expression does soften. ]
You must want something really badly, to be meeting me like this. What is it?
[....his expression softens as he looks at her, and she reflexively takes a step back.]
It doesn't matter what it is! [The majority of the money would go towards her bear. The rest of it....would go to Jaune since she still hadn't paid that poor guy. So she's definitely not telling him that and pushes the thought down and away.
I couldn't find anything when I looked. Nothing. Why? Did you find something?]]
[ He's momentarily surprised when she steps back. Then he realizes what's happened, and immediately rearranges his features into a moue of annoyance. ]
I'm only asking. There's no need to be rude.
[ People who put barriers up, find it disconcerting when someone start to step past them. He's careful to transmit only this precise thought:
I didn't. However, we might be able to amplify each other's abilities. ]
What are you, Santa Claus, or something? Do you want me to sit in your lap next? You lolicon. [She even comes closer with a raise of her eyebrow, though she doesn't intend to follow through. (Kaoru would probably smash him for that.)
Besides, lately all she's been doing is helping people she actually really liked and she didn't need him stalking them too.]
that actually comes across as being faintly flirtatious, and while he doesn't physically move from where he's standing, he can't quite hide the feeling of being flustered, and wanting to step back. ]
That's not a requirement! Besides, I'm... I'm not sitting down.

And then he's irritated because she'd made him worry. ]
Careful, Empress. When you overuse an insult, it loses its effectiveness.

how do you feel now
better?
worse?
no subject
I feel that I should point out that you're not a loli anymore.
Also, I'm feeling that if you want money, you'd better come get it in person. I'm on the roof. I'm sure you can figure out how to get there.
no subject
what so im out of your strike zone now?

[ ordinarily he'd say "unless you're inviting me in," but he's significantly annoyed. ]

[Thankfully for all of them, she's not the kind of character that trips while walking up stairs and she makes her way up there just fine.]

She takes one look at him, dramatically lit from above and quirks an eyebrow, unimpressed.]
Since you were being petty, I thought it would be better to take my time and let you calm down up here.

When the man in question is a lolicon, isn't it better if he changes his mind?
[Talk, then.]
no subject
That said, he also knew she'd keep pushing the lolicon thing. Goddammit. ]
Oh well, if you don't need money...
[ He smiles (it's more than a little forced) and stands, his hands in his pockets.
There are rumors that CERES might have altered us in some way. Our eyes, in particular. ]
no subject
[She couldn't stop being awful, it's just impossible with him standing there.
You're not going senile, are you? Oh, oops. I totally didn't mean to think that out loud. Sorry~
What I meant was: I've heard of those too. So?]

How is that rude?
[Not rude at all.
Wait. Do I have to touch you to do this?]
no subject
I generally make the kids at PANDRA earn their own spending money. They only get presents for special occasions.
[ There are a lot of special occasions on the Catastrophe however, shh.
Don't worry, Empress. I won't let you see anything you shouldn't. Even with your limiter released. ]
no subject
Can't you just think of this like a special occasion, then? [That's not how special occasions work, Shiho.
I'm thinking more that I just don't want to touch you, but yeah, sure. Just so you know though, I don't have all day to do this.
Because her limiter was on a timer.]

I'll reward them sometimes for special achievements. Have you done anything noteworthy lately? Something you're proud of?
[ You'll be the one in control, Empress. Come here. ]

Eh~? Really? Then what if I shoot you in the kneecaps?

Ha....haha. You win, Empress.
[ He pulls out his wallet. Palmed under it is a homemade limiter-releaser that he cobbled together. He activates it... ]
