"Well, I didn't say all of that.." the Kitsune joked, but she could see how her words could be taken as such. Her desire for things which were simple, meant that she had a great many desires which went unsatisfied by her normal life. Her former life was full of things but not necessary the sort of things she wanted, because of this, she began to value more, things which simply couldn't be bought. Time, patience, intimacy, friendship... these things were worth having, more so to the lass than the material or frivolous things she could acquire all on her own. It was a hard thing to explain, but it seemed, she wouldn't need to do that at all...
Akashi's hand was soon removed from her own, but it didn't return to his own body. As they rose up above Ryozanpaku and then began their descent, he set a gentle warm hand to her face. She couldn't help but curl into the touch, to enjoy the moment. She was elated by this affection, so freely offered, so she found it easy to accept. He even claimed that regardless of what she desired, he'd make sure she was fulfilled. Surely, he couldn't know what such a thing would mean to this girl? He wouldn't have offered it so easily if he did. It was most certainly a bargaining chip he should have held much closer to his chest. A trump card he could have revealed at any point in the future to gain an advantage over the lass, one with a lasting effect. Too bad he chose now... too bad she was still at her core a greedy person, one who hoarded all she treasured. "You know I'll hold you to that right?" she asked him, her tone was light but as those glowing eyes of hers settled they were all too serious. She'd been very honest when she'd admitted that she'd settled herself on the idea of him quite a while ago, and she intended to keep him. Soon enough though, he fell back into his previous face, that of the serious Oni whose emotions were well hidden behind still blue eyes. She didn't mind this at all. She enjoyed that he had to offer, even this less expressive face. "Hoh? Not stuck as a Dragon this time... how interesting~" the lass mused, but everything was fine. She wondered if this lad remembered his time as a Dragon this time, unlike times previous.
