Sakura did indeed enjoy rough copulation, she found that to be more the case when magic wasn't involved, but in the spirit of being human she couldn't say she disliked the idea of it continuing long after she was back to full magical interactions. "Yes, that is accurate. And that's good for me, I can understand why consideration is often necessary though," she commented. The women she'd seen in sexual situations in this world weren't at all awakened. She had no doubts that womb penetration would count as a massive injury for someone unprepared for it. Hiruko's sizable package was so far among the best on this planet as far as Sakura was concerned. Definitely worth experiencing without human sensibilities.

Apparently, Sakura wasn't the only one known to put people out of their misery. Considering what Kaguya came back like the previous day, she could say that Hiruko was definitely at least a stamina filled monster. Perhaps... she'd actually get to experience fucking all night as a human. "Yes really. It gets boring considering I don't sleep..." she said. Expressing herself in the time before sexual activities took place was seemingly a good way to get out everything before it was time, she'd learned this in her time with Reiji. "It isn't all bad though, even if someone goes out, if they've put in a great enough effort, I tend to respect it," she explained of another truth she'd learned of herself earlier today. "Kayan does seem to be very submissive in front of certain domineering people," Sakura observed happily. That friendship was one of her favorite things to observe, but that wasn't a necessary bit of commentary. "As for me, it is my preference to be more submissive, but I can't bend to weak individuals. I come out a bit more bitchy than submissive in those cases," she said seeming to have a fairly good understanding of her own psyche. Still, if their ideations were lining up then she had little to worry about it. All clean and washed, she looked at that tub and gave consideration to a warm soaking bath while she thought things over. There were a few more things to consider after all.

[Bloodedge]

Hiruko doubted Sakura needed any warnings before they began. Based on his earlier experience with her two friends, and how ridiculous they were, he assumed anyone who fell into the group was ready to receive his ridiculous proportions. Considering she and the others had ridiculous proportions of their own, Hiruko couldn't even be baffled ─ only pleasantly surprised each time one of them appeared. Strange though, was the notion that Sakura didn't sleep. As a resident of the non-magical world, he figured she meant 'rarely' as opposed to never. With that alone in mind, he could commiserate. "I get that. That's why I like being in this city recently. It has so much more activity late night than I'm used to. Well... it's good sometimes," he said, knowing his job only became more difficult with more potential witnesses active.

Sakura respected effort. If nothing else, she'd surely be getting effort from Hiruko, even if she happened to get the best of him. With her apparent submissive nature, though, he doubted that could be the case even if she thwarted Miko and Kaguya combined. Ah, but he did like the idea of some bitchiness as well. Hiruko would have to do a bit of experimenting at some point. "I'll have to see that side too. We've got some free days in common, so... maybe~" he said with a shrug. Now then, Sakura was finally moving on to the tub. Hiruko would avoid joining, lest he lose a one-time opportunity. Certain images had to be taken before anything else was done; post-sex images could never be the same. Even so, it wasn't as if he didn't consider abandoning that entire plan. Simply watching Sakura move to the tub was enough to rile him up. "It's funny. You're not even doing anything, but I still want to jump in there. I'm usually a little more composed," he admitted.

[Apollymi]

Ready and willing were those capable of receiving Hiruko. Sakura didn't need any warnings, but was still more than a little surprised when viewing this man. He was beyond the norm in a way which was surprising and unlike others seemed well versed in how to use it. Fun could be had, regardless of the way he enjoyed sex himself, she understood this given her own adventures over the last few days. Hiruko seemed to understand Sakura's lack of sleep, she doubted anyone living as a human didn't sleep to the same extent, but if he was more used to the night life, he would at least be a great deal of fun for her... not just a single hour of bravado followed by an equivalent amount of recuperation. "There is definitely a lot more going on after dark than I would have expected..." she said of this particular area. Even her approach from the beach had seen a great number of people moving around near sunset.

As their conversation progressed and Sakura enjoyed her tub soak she seemed to just be happily appreciating the warm water. She'd be found eventually leaned over one end of the tub, content to converse with Hiruko while making no efforts but resting her face against the palm of her right hand. "It's very possible. Though I can't say for certain, I am not prone to reactions inorganic to my own moods..." she explained of herself. Always honest, Sakura wouldn't be letting anyone believe her reactions were anything but genuine, in both frequency and intensity. There was also something admitted by Hiruko, she wasn't doing anything but he still really wanted to jump in with her, "Sou ka, that's a fairly normal reaction to me. I've been told I am tempting," she explained. Still a slightly eerie smile appeared on her face, "Still, you look rather composed to me. Very few resist even a little~" she mused in a teasing manner. 'Actually, this probably part of what makes the extra effort worthwhile,' she thought understanding completely her more forceful desires when they arose around specific individuals. All credit was to be given to Hiruko as one of the few entities who didn't immediately flounder because of her existence alone. That combine with his attitude would make their continued progress very fun.

[Bloodedge]

Hiruko's camera remained at the ready, even as Sakura merely relaxed in the bathtub. Actually, he managed a couple of pictures from his seated position. It seemed they were both content to converse while the girl soaked, as opposed to starting anything that would ruin part of the plan. Of course, a great many deviant things were right there on the horizon... and the horizon was being approached with surprising rapidity. Sakura warned the blonde that she didn't fake reactions; that was fine. As it happened, he was very good at managing that sort of thing. "That's alright. I'm not what one would call a good person, you know? I'm pretty good when it comes to... coaxing people naturally in the direction I want ─ if I want. In this case, though... I want to see what's natural," he stated with a hint of intrigue.

Sakura was indeed a tempting individual. Hiruko could attest that her mere existence and a bit of nudity were enough to make him desirous, but that was something he considered a side-effect of sheer, ridiculous attractiveness. His composure as viewed by another or compared to others was one thing, but for Hiruko... he was far from tame. "Tempting doesn't begin to cover it. It's not normal for me to even bat an eye," he admitted while rising from the stool again. Hiruko did approach Sakura, but he resisted temptation once more. He did, however, take advantage of current positioning with a few additional pictures. He rather enjoyed the angle that led down Sakura's back to show the full curve of her rear. "But, lucky us. I'm still composed enough to make sure the moment doesn't come too early~" he said in spite of the raging erection trying to burst through his pants leg.

In the meantime, a notification was arriving to Sakura's phone. Well... it wasn't just one. "Tohcchi, are you back yet?" asked the first of multiple texts from Shota. "I went out to the shop for some food," the second read. "My cousin should be there waiting," was the third to appear. "Want anything specific for dinner?" read the fourth. Finally, there was a fifth message sent. It read: "Besides me, I mean♥" By the time that final message appeared, Hiruko had taken note of the notification count. He knew that texting pattern all too well. "... Shocchi wants you," he said, struggling to avoid laughter.

[Apollymi]

Sakura found it rather easy to be honest with the man in front of her. She was having a good time just chatting and studying the man before her. It would seem that he didn't classify himself as a good person, and that was fine as well. Sakura didn't classify him as a bad man either. Even if he was a killer or swindler he was morally not reprehensible. In fact, she'd call him one of the more balance individuals she'd looked at in her time in this world. He also seemed to understand his onw nature, claiming he was used to making people react the way he wanted, but wanted to see something natural. "Sou ka, those aren't bad things... pretty good skills actually," she said. "Though I'm glad... people occasionally find me very unnerving," she admitted and gave the reasoning behind her earlier admission.

Just the same Hiruko standing and getting more pictures allowed her a view of the bulge in his pants and his line of sight. She'd find it easy to extend the arch in her back and help the man see a bit extra her hips gently swaying in the water as they conversed casually. "That's quite the bit of fortitude. I do like hearing that though... " she said about the tempting nature of her body. "In all honesty you're quite something yourself. I really was being honest earlier when I said you were interesting to look at... in more ways that I can even explain~" she flirted. Of course all the while she was looking up his body. Her line of sight traveling from his erection, up his torso, up and up until reaching those very magical eyes. In truth this man should probably be taken over to the other world just because it was obvious he was almost at the summit of this world's allowances. Whatever the case, she didn't get the time to keep her considerations as they played across her face, so did something else. A series of pings that happened in such rapid succession they could have only come from one person.

Kakihara Shota, was the only person in Sakura's life to text her with that amount of frequency. She'd noticed that everyone had different habits when it came to messages but something about his, managed to annoy her even through the filter of technology. Perhaps it was because, now that she had a decent understanding of his motivations, that annoyance he caused within her person only swelled. Perhaps it was karmic in nature... her powers related to that seemed to be quite underutilized. She'd only done a bit of karmic good the previous night when plucking the bonding strings attached to Akaba Reiji and her punishment to rapists. Perhaps it was a good time to punish? Hiruko also knew who was trying to contact her, and seemed on the verge of laughter. "I know. I'm going to ignore him," she said honestly. "It's odd though, I haven't had my phone for that long, and I've noticed everyone has different habits when texting, and his specifically annoys me. It changes my mood. I don't like it," she commented as if observing herself was something to do. Still, she wondered what he was saying, and she'd realized given how short his messages where that she could read them from the hot bar without opening them. She used this knowledge she'd picked up from teens earlier today to read a series of messages which made her face shift from annoyance to digust.

[Bloodedge]

He could see how the masses found Sakura unnerving. On the other hand, Hiruko couldn't think such a thing while knowing the types of people he did. "You're not unnerving; not to me. I see worse every day," he claimed. With people like Kusanagi walking the streets, he certainly couldn't call Sakura's demeanor bothersome. If anything, she reminded him of... one of the Hoshimi siblings, though a great deal more logic-focused. He enjoyed it, actually.

As he drew closer, Hiruko was given the immediate reward of a shifted position from Sakura. He got quite the good image from that, but also caught wind of where Sakura's gaze primarily lingered. By the time she looked into his eyes, Sakura was on the receiving end of a cheeky wink. It seemed they both had something to look forward to in the physical sense. "Well it's not easy to explain everything. But, don't let that stop you from trying. Looks like you found something to appraise~" he teased. Hiruko was considering a leap, something that may allow a bit of satisfaction on both ends without ruining the plan. Alas, that series of texts from Shota ruined his thought process.

Sakura intended to ignore those texts, however. He'd recommend doing as much ─ especially given the likelihood of someone like Shota sending twelve additional texts before a response was delivered. "Bad habit of his. I know a lot of people who send multiple texts back-to-back like they're in an online chatroom, but his are... weird somehow. Oh... but that reminds me, I have a thing to call someone about. What do you say to one more good one in this tub before I step out for a minute?"

[Apollymi]

Hiruko was apparently used to dealing with some very strange individuals. He claimed that he didn't find Sakura to be unnerving and even said he dealt with worse regularly. "Oh? That sounds interesting, still it's good... I don't mean to be unnerving," she explained of herself. She was having a good time knowing that at least after getting to know her a bit people didn't seem to mind her oddities. Her emotional range was growing as she interacted with others, but she didn't know if this was a successful transition or not.

That being said, something that was definitely successful was her flirting with Hiruko. That extension of her back was something for him to capture more images of, beyond that though it seemed her eyes movements were at least noticed. By the time she finished looking at him he was winking at him playfully. "Is that what that's like, I might like it~" she claimed after witnessing such a show of confidence from someone who had reason to be such. "You are quite worthy of appraisal in an overall sense," she said with a smile. "Still, some things require further study~" she said playfully. Both of these individuals were falling into their mood until a certain string of text messages broke their concentrations.

Hiruko claimed that something called chatrooms were the start of multiple texters but that even he found something weird about the way it was done by Kakihara Shota. "I have received a few multiple texts since getting these phones. But in those cases it seems like something forgotten and added afterwards, which seems more acceptable than thoughts spread across multiple messages which..." she paused her words thinking about it earnestly she came to an odd conclusion. "Sou ka, I understand why it annoys me," she stated, willing to share since Hiruko also called it weird she figured he might enjoy her thoughts. "Whether it is done on purpose or not, he messages like that and it feels like he's forcing your attention. You pick up your phone and because he doesn't send everything he means at once, even if he's already thought about it, you have to keep your phone in your hand... it feels manipulative," she clarified her own thoughts. All the while she stood in the tub stretching and showing her body with water falling from it. Her hands running through her hair and her body gently turning so she could reach for a towel as well. When she bent she'd show him the fullness of her ass before looking back over her shoulder to wink at the man in trun. "I also have to make a call, so take your time... I'll pick out something fun to wear~" she claimed seemingly amused by the thought of picking out lingerie for the purpose of showing it to Hiruko. She understood the draw of underwear though they weren't normal to her initially.

[Bloodedge]

"Ho? Well, I've got some other things you might like too. I can't wait to see if I'm right," Hiruko flirted openly. Apparently, Sakura thought he was worth appraisal as a more general fact ─ whatever she meant by that specific wording. Whatever the case, she claimed further study may be necessary. How interesting. "Well, I'm an open book. Study at your leisure~"

Sadly, their conversation shifted right back to Shota. The younger male had a habit of intervening when he had no business doing so, even unintentionally ─ especially unintentionally. That thought actually went hand-in-hand with Sakura's realization that Shota consumed attention by strange act of force. He supposed that did classify as manipulation, regardless of intent or lack thereof... though Hiruko took personal issue with giving Shota the credit. "We should really come up with a better word for that. Calling it manipulative makes it sound more skillful than I think it is," he asserted. Hiruko himself was a manipulative individual. To think Shota was even considered as being in the same realm, well... it was almost a slight against his career. Quick to move on from that, Hiruko gained another short series of photographs of Sakura's rise, from her first shift all the way to that wink delivered as she looked over her shoulder. They each had a phone call to make, so he'd soon be on his way... shortly after an appreciative whistle. "You do that. When you're done, I've got something to study too. We'll call it a case study on which side of you I prefer looking at. You're one of one, but you might look even better from behind~" With that said, Hiruko winked once more and took his leave of the bathroom. He had a couple of phone calls to make ─ the first of which was to an informant.

[Apollymi]

Open flirtation between Hiruko and Sakura would continue. He claimed he might have a lot of things she might like and she couldn't wait to find out. "Oh? That does sound quite interesting, I hope you're right~" she flirted right back. Beyond this point, Hiruko claimed to be an open book, which was something that Sakura quite enjoyed. If he wanted to be such and used in such a way, she would take advantage. "Hai hai!~" she said seemingly pleased. Just as easily as they flirted however, the conversation would shift just a bit. Apparently, talks of Shota being manipulative didn't hit the ear of Hiruko correctly. Sakura could understand this, as it was a slight for someone to copy someone else in such an inferior manner. "Hm, I understand your meaning. I am sure someone has a word that works better, when I find it... I'll share it with you~" she said in good humor. And true enough she would do exactly that. Still there was a gentle parting to be taking place, and it would be Sakura who got to enjoy an appreciative whistle and another compliment she could enjoy. "Oh? Well, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to decide. Or don't~" she said with a smirk.

While he left her for his phone call she picked up her own phone and dialed one of the newer added numbers, belonging to one Shinomiya Kaguya who would be answering while Sakura dried off and got picked out clothes. "Ara? Day one at the beach go well? I wasn't expecting a call, though I'm quite happy~" Kaguya asked immediately which gained a small smile onto Sakura's face. "Hai, I did a lot of things you suggested and it was quite fun. But I wasn't calling about that, I could use some advice," she prefaced as she searched through clothes. "Oh? Well, I can tell you a lot of things, as long as they aren't tech related. You don't need like big help though right? You aren't like in trouble or anything," Kaguya asked. Though she was willing to let the other girl live her best life, she wouldn't want anything bad to be happening to her. "Iia, it's nothing like that, I would have just come back if I were in big trouble. I'm with Hirrun so that isn't really an issue," Sakura clarified which made a sigh of relief take place. "Sou ka, that's good. He's great... but then what can I help you with?" she asked of the other girl, more than willing to help out in any way she could. "I feel the need to dish out a karmic punishment to a person who likes to steal people's girlfriends by manipulating them and thinks he's much better than he is. I know you've dealt with a similar situation before so I figured you could help me figure out the appropriate way to do it," Sakura clarified. "Well, I can help with that, but I need to point out how ridiculous it is that you've found a fuckboy so early in your girl journey," Kaguya said.

[Bloodedge]

While Sakura began her conversation with Kaguya, Hiruko was reaching another male at the end of his line. "Make it quick; I have the worst hangover," said the man who answered his phone. Hiruko laughed, gently as to avoid aggravating the obvious headache his contact was suffering. "Water is the answer, Kaicchi~" he replied. "Well... I guess it's too late now. It's also late in the day, but have a coffee and something bready. You'll feel better," he suggested thereafter. In response, the other male could only groan. "Ugh! I don't even want to get out of bed. Was I even at the meeting? I can't remember..."

"You were at the meeting, and now you're definitely getting out of bed. I need the information from that contract sent to this number," Hiruko demanded. There were quite a few things that needed to be addressed in the pecking order of contracts, but he intended to make quick work of the transfer. "I need it on a cipher for Ericchi; I'm transferring this one." That specification gave the other man all the information he needed. A few more groans passed his lips, but Hiruko also heard movement. "Fine. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I know those Hoshimi really like their grunt work though, so whatever. Wish I could get out there and see some real action from time to time... or get some action," he griped. "Two minutes," was the timeframe given before Hiruko's contact ended the call. With that out of the way, Hiruko dialed the number of one Hoshimi Emi as he walked downstairs toward the living room.

[Apollymi]

Sakura heard out the words of Kaguya while slipping on a little thong with a small heart shaped opening over her rear. "It's quite odd, but I met him in the card shop. Before yesterday he only seemed fairly normal, I didn't know he thought he was taking advantage of me until recently. I also don't really enjoy him compared to others so I am not interested in continuing. Though I also need him realize how wrong he is for his actions and for trying to take advantage of me, and anyone else..." Sakura confirmed her desires. "Sou sou, one of those entitled types. Who puts forth what you want to see until he feels comfortable enough... or until he can't hold it anymore. Treats women like objects he's entitled to use the way he wants," Kaguya gathered. "Hai, his entire personality and mannerisms are poor imitations of Hirrun as well... the difference between them is massive and the copy is just sad and annoying," Sakura explained. "Alright then what you need is for him to understand the comparison," Kaguya said. "He was annoying to me, always saying things that seemed to be aimed to get me to act in certain ways or do certain things. I didn't for the most part aside from stuff I felt like doing but thinking about it after, I am surprised I didn't notice he was trying to influence me," Sakura explained. "Well, don't blame yourself. He was the one who betrayed your trust, who put himself out like he was something else and then changed up on you. That's all on him. You've already banged him and can't undo that... I mean you probably could but I assume that'd be pretty complicated. So, instead use that information~" Kaguya said her voice delightfully menacing. "Make sure he knows you're choosing someone else. Make sure knows he's the trash here. Everything he tried to get you to do, every thing he did that annoyed you or that you felt dumb realizing after the fact, try it on with someone better and enjoy the fuck out of it. Bonus points if he has to watch but make sure you gag him cause people getting cucked can be super annoying. You can use his own actions against him and show him what it's like to truly receive what he's been trying to dish out. You don't even have to pretend or do anything weird. Just your observational ability will destroy him, and having already experienced Hi-niisama myself I can say for certain you'll be able to show how much better he is," she said offering her the way of punishing that kind of attitude. By the time this conversation went so far, Sakura was sliding into a tank with sheer flaps and a little bra fully showing off her thick form.

Meawhile, Hiruko's dialed number would receive a cheerful answer on the other side as a girl walked around a rather expensive looking hotel room placing her rather long hair up in a ponytail while she answered. "Hikki! Enjoying the beach?" she asked as a normal way of having a conversation, using the shortened form of his name that she tended to when they spoke. Though she didn't seem receptive to his flirts she was still just a very friendly person at her base, and Hoshimi Emi wasn't at all the type to answer her phone aggressively, even for work related calls.

[Bloodedge]

Hiruko was in for an interesting time. Already deep into a state of arousal, the second answered phone call was fated to cause a noteworthy throb from the sound of Hoshimi Emi's voice alone. Adding to that her choice of address for him, he nearly swooned. "I'm not going to keep warning you about calling me that, Emicchi. You're really abusing that angelic voice of yours, and I'm not sure you know the consequences~" he chimed with maximum flirtatious intent. "The beach is... more interesting than I thought it would be; let's put it that way. You're free to come visit later if you like~" he added.

As always, Hiruko doubted she would take his advances; that wasn't going to stop him from making them. Onto business though, there was information he needed... lest he have to make a third call to a third person before occupying himself for the foreseeable future. "Before you give me a soul-shattering rejection, I'm calling on business this time~" he said in strangely high spirits. "Anything on the clearance for that contract swap, or do I have to call her now?"

[Apollymi]

Kaguya was very free-flowing with information and with her own experiences added into the mix, Sakura was sure she could properly give out a karmic punishment. "Sou ka, that is great information. Arigatou gouzaimasu, Kayan!~" Sakura managed happily. Kaguya heard this one on the phone and chuckled. "Hai hai, I'm all for doing spiteful things to shitty guys. I hope it goes well... also don't forget to just have fun... that guy isn't worth the extra attention, just remember to stick it to him, whenever the mood strikes. My only regret in my own situation is that I didn't have more ammunition while I was upset, it isn't the kind of thing you want to hang on to, but while meting out karma, feeling a little bit of spite is satisfying," Kaguya mentioned. "Sou sou, I don't know if I've ever felt that... I did feel angry earlier in finding out what he wanted to do. I didn't know how I'd react, I'm glad I called though," Sakura managed which only to hear a little giggle from the other side. "Kufufufu~ Don't worry about that part. In truth I am just sort of surprised you weren't asking me how to get rid of a dead body. This kind of thing is way more manageable..." Kaguya mentioned happily. "Iia, Kazzun said killing shouldn't be the first answer. I try to keep what he says in mind," said Sakura. "Hai hai, sometimes, leaving bits of yourself in other people's care is the right choice. Morals are hard to manage so I get why you let someone else decide. I let Mi-chan decide certain things for me too~" she said so the girl wouldn't feel odd about her behavior though it was a bit extreme. "Hai hai, now that I understand I'm going to run it past Hirrun and make sure he's fine with being part of my torture plan. Thanks again ja ne!~" she offered Kaguya. "Hai hai, hope the karma ends up sweet, have a good time Saku-chan!~" she offered before they both hung up. Sakura then spent a moment examining herself in a mirror before she wandered off.

Meanwhile, Hiruko was given a throb by the voice of one Hoshimi Emi and she was having none of his sass. "Yes, you've warned me, but when I asked if you wanted me to change it you said no. Also it's not abuse to use the natural state of your own voice, even if someone says its angelic," she said. She knew he was flirting with her, but as it was simply his nature as a person she wasn't holding it against him. He even asked if she wanted to visit him at the beach and called it more interesting than he thought. That put some odd images in her head, but she'd not be upset with him. "I'm glad you're having a good time, it's good to get out sometimes~" she offered almost happily. Still she was getting ready to give him another firm turn down but it ended up unnecessary. he was apparently calling for business and wishing to know if he needed to call 'her'. "Ah, that's why you called. I've been waiting for word, but Kyo hasn't texted me or anything. Should I check in with him first... he seemed like he might have gotten busy and I didn't want to interrupt," Emi mentioned her shift in tone implying she assumed something she wasn't going to discuss was happening with Kyo.

[Bloodedge]

Emi claimed the use of her voice wasn't abusive at all, but Hiruko would never agree to that. "It is abuse. You just opening your mouth could cause an international incident... or put a stop to one. You're selling yourself short~" he flirted further. Hoshimi Emi may not have been one of low self-esteem, but she definitely didn't know the full brunt of her own worth. Hiruko would gladly show her if given the opportunity. Ah, but he doubted that would ever actually happen; she never showed an inkling of interest, unlike her eldest sister. Much the same could be said of his offer to join the beach trip. She gave no affirmative answer, nor did she reject it... but he could assume the would-be results of that.

Whatever the case, there was business to handle. Emi hadn't heard a thing from the one called Kyo. Hiruko sighed upon hearing that; he knew that meant the job hadn't been done. "If he hasn't said anything to you, he hasn't done it. The Wardens are really finicky about checking in like that. I guess that puts me one more favor in the hole, as I'll have to make the call myself. Just tell that sister of yours I'll be sending the contract by cipher. Arigatou♥~" With that, if Emi had no need of him, Hiruko would then be ending the call from his end... right before calling the woman called Makima.

[Apollymi]

Hoshimi Emi, was indeed not a person lacking in confidence. If nothing else her family made sure she understood her worth in the world and she couldn't feel anything but loved and appreciated on a regular basis. Even so, there were limits to how much any individual could accomplish and feel about themselves. But somehow every time flirty words of encouragement passed Hiruko's lips, she felt like he meant them and like she might be capable of the random things he said. "Yare yare, you don't have to say things like that you know. A teen girl isn't about to change the world or anything. Though it's still really nice to hear for some reason. You might be the one abusing your voice, Hikki~" she mentioned almost playfully. She wasn't flirting with him but she would at least, give cursory acknowledgement to how his words made her feel, even if she had no intention of involving herself with him.

Beyond that point there was the matter of what he was actually calling her for. Since Kyo hadn't been in contact with her, Hiruko made the assumption that what he was after hadn't been done. This logic was because of the way the 'Wardens' as they were known typically behaved. "They are kind of weird, I've noticed..." Emi said about the Wardens. As for the call he had to make, she could only say one thing, "I'll let Eri-nee know. I'm sure she'll be happy... well as close to it as she normally gets. Good Luck, Hikki~" she offered the man the only thing she could, her well-wishes as he undertook a new problem. And since that call had ended, there was another starting. And somewhere in a dark room lit by candles was a woman with brilliant red hair and golden eyes with concentric circles marring their irises. She was dressed in a suit, perfectly pressed, in heels without creases and a tie perfectly in the middle of an expansive bosom. She was sitting with her back straight and her phone directly left of her hand with her screen lighting up to an image of Hiruko's face with his neck turned to the side, and the tattoo there completely visible and nothing else. She'd press the green button and as she was alone left it on speaker so she didn't have to move it from its place. "Speak."
