Black Bull Headquarters

"I figured you'd say something like that. Save some for me, though," he said about the adversity they were sure to face if they pursued one another beyond this very moment. As things were, Leonis fully intended to do exactly that. He'd never been one for romance, especially considering the fact that he'd been training constantly since obtaining his grimoire four years ago. In this specific case, he doubted 'romance' covered the details the way it normally would. No, he certainly couldn't apply such a descriptor to anything he'd seen of this girl thus far. In a matter of moments, she had moved herself into the lap of Leonis, and he couldn't tell if he would more easily call it romance or prey marking. Perhaps these things were one and the same for such a person. "I told you, though. I'm going straight to the top. If you're going to help, don't get rusty. Climb to the top with me."

"Iie." This simple answer about saving potential targets for him wasn't at all something she was willing to do. If he wanted to beat someone before her, he'd have to reach them first. "If you want them, you get to them first... or they're mine," she said, and it was the type of attitude the girl had been shown to have all along. Beyond this she had indeed moved into his lap, but it was a matter of simple 'romance' as most would see it. It was a matter of marking him as belonging to her. Though she wouldn't admit to having any great understanding of this entire thing, what she'd observed of it, told her the person on top was winning the fight, and as such she aimed to be this person. "I won't get rusty. If my climbing up to the top helps... I'll do that too," she said, seeming to miss the fact that the statement was ironic considering her current positioning atop this boy. Her goal of fighting others would be benefited by such an arrangement and as such she had no problem with it. The lad beneath her was her primary target in all things, so making sure to keep up with him was her primary goal. This would of course, require her to catch up just a little as he had more finite an trained skills than she possessed. No matter what she wouldn't let him win without the fight. To this point, the green haired lass removed her cape and her shirt in a single deft movement. This would reveal her bare chest, complete with a single snake tattoo over her left breast, the filigree style snake tattoo on her left hip visible by virtue of how low her jeans were.

Leonis probably should have anticipated the answer Hikage produced. Only after the words were spoken did he realize how unsurprising it was that she intended to take on any challengers he didn't wipe out first. She also went on to claim she would be climbing to the top of the proverbial food chain if it would help, interestingly after taking a very literal position on top of him. What came next was something which absolutely took Leonis by surprise. Hikage's movement led to the removal of her squad cape. This would have been normal, as Leonis was of the opinion that they would not be returning for some time and would benefit from becoming more comfortable, but... what little shirt the green-haired girl wore came off with it. Leonis' eyes traveled down to her exposed torso, then widened immensely. "Y-you... uhh..." he started as blood began dripping from his nose. "Your shirt came off with that cape, you know?"

Hikage had done something which managed to surprise the lad's whose lap she now occupied. The shock on his face was visible as was his immediate reaction of spouting a nose bleed. He even went on to struggle through the statement about the fact that her shirt had come off as well. "Hai, I took it off on purpose..." the green haired girl seemed to have a blank expression but it stopped nothing of her actions. She looked directly at the lad and aside from his eyes, noticed the state of his nose, after he witnessed her unclothed torso. "You have a nosebleed." She mentioned in the same absent way she noted everything, still her glare was rather intense even though it seemed to be backed by nothing. "You want to touch me right? Clothes would be in the way then..." she said in a matter of fact manner. This girl's innocence combined with her ability to follow her instincts could very well lead her to being able to copulate with this lad, whether it had been his starting intention or not.

"Oh... On purpose, yeah. Why wouldn't it be on purpose?" he said as if he were asking himself. After she pointed out his nosebleed, he turned his head entirely toward that side, as if to hide it from view. Even then, his eyes remained fixated on the surprising bosom of Hikage. Hikage's glare was caught by Leonis via the latter's periphery, which brought his gaze up to meet it. He wasn't sure how she'd interpreted his original groping, or if it had anything to do with her current query, but... she was technically correct with her later statement regardless. Clothes were an obstruction in a very literal way. Even with that being the case though, interpreting this behavior from Hikage was difficult. "Well, I uhh..." With some hesitation, Leonis found his right hand rising again to Hikage's chest, where he found her left bosom unobstructed by the tattered shirt she'd been wearing before now. This was immediately proven to be a very, very different sensation which Leonis could not compare to anything else. "Oi, Hikage. Do you actually know why people do this sort of thing without clothes?"

Leonis was questioning why Hikage's actions wouldn't have been on purpose. Of course, she didn't understand this question at all, as it was obviously done to provide him easier access to her person. Regardless he eventually made eye contact with her as well, and even went on to touch her as she'd assumed he wanted to, albeit with some hesitation. "You shouldn't hesitate," she said with a smile. The sensation of his right hand making contact with her left bosom once more, gave the girl tingles. This time was a bit of a different experience, and she figured it was because of the lack of barrier between the two different kinds of flesh. "Ah~" that small noise along with the blushing of her face both reactions she couldn't control. "I assume it is done naked because it feels better, and so you can make sure the other person isn't armed," she murmured. This kind of thought pattern made it obvious the girl had grown up in rather strange conditions, even so she seemed to have some sort of innate understanding of what should be going on.

"I wasn't hesitating!" he reacted quickly. "I was just... having trouble picking one!" Frankly, Leonis was still in shock over this whole situation. He didn't expect to even make time for dealing with girls until his goals were met, and he didn't expect it to end up like this at all. Regardless of this, it was happening here and now apparently, and Leonis found his own arousal to be something destined to come about whether he wanted it to or not. Perhaps Hikage's voice escaping her proved to be the final nail in the coffin, if Leonis had even been resisting in the first place. "Well... yeah, I guess because it feels better. I don't think weapons have anything to do with it, though. It's... usually more of a pleasure-seeking thing, exclusively."

"Then don't pick, have both..." she mentioned seeming to find this to be the easiest solution to the young man's problems. After all she wasn't topless in his lap just to be there, if he wanted to touch her she'd allow that to happen. Of course, there was now Leonis' arousal to deal with properly which seemed to poke at the lass as she straddled his lap. She might have found this strange, and as such commented on it in her own way. "You're poking me," she said with her normal amount of candor. Irrespective of this, the words of Leonis made her brow raise, "Pleasure-seeking?" she questioned the word, it's meaning somewhat lost on her because of the idea she had in her mind about how this worked. "I thought it was a fight, and the person on top was the winner." Still as the lass fidgeted in his lap, she tried to figure out what the next step was and what Leonis meant by pleasure-seeking.

What were these impossible words Leonis was hearing? He'd been making up a random excuse for his hesitation earlier, but what came from Hikage's mouth afterwards was unheard of. Not one or the other, left or right, but both? Had he been earlier in his adolescence, he'd have blacked out from the thought alone. Now though, he took a deep gulp of nothing and raised his left hand to match his right's position on the other side of Hikage's chest. It was then that he decided to begin actually moving his hands to rub, squeeze, and generally grope the girl. "Of course I'm poking you. I mean... you're not ugly or anything, so this is what happens, I guess." Ever the 'smooth operator' was Leonis. At least, those would be the words of a certain sarcastic sibling of his when he dealt with women. It likely didn't matter though, especially considering Hikage showed time and time again that she had no clue what the things they were doing actually meant. "No, it's not a fight. People... people do this kind of thing to make each other feel good when they care about each other a lot. It's supposed to be fun. I mean... some people prefer being on top, some people prefer being on the bottom, but it's not a win or lose thing... unless maybe somebody ends up having a bad time, but then it's probably a loss for everybody."

The offering of Hikage seemed to be taken up by Leonis though he seemed to have a bit of a problem concerning it. Whatever mental hangup he had he was soon holding, rubbing, and squeezing the entirety of Hikage's ample bosom. She didn't mind this at all either, in fact, the feeling of it was rather pleasant and spreading from the center of her being. A moan slipped from this young girl's mouth, "Ah~ So that happens because you like looking at me..." she mused. This entire thing was a strange but she didn't dislike it, more over as the lad explained what this situation was leaning towards. It apparently wasn't a fight and the only supposed loss to be taken was if both people didn't enjoy themselves. "Sou ka, then let's make sure you have fun too," the girl said as she situated herself to keep them in physical contact and kiss this lad's lips. She wasn't sure what to make of this completely but she definitely wished to continue. After all, Hikage liked Leonis more than she'd ever been known to like anyone, and by his logic it meant they could continue this here and now for each other.
