A third time

[divinitysoiled]

Characters: Catarina and YOU!
Setting: October 15th, floor 38
Format: Start action, will match prose
Summary: It was easy to find candy at first, but now it's getting a little hard to breathe...
Warnings: Sexual suggestiveness (lol succubus)

[It was easy at first. The outfit was ridiculous, but it wasn't as if she was against the cut and height of the skirt. She hadn't quite understood what was going on at first, but when she got it, it was easy to find candy.]

[At first.]

[She hadn't thought much of it at first. It was already tight, what was a little extra tightness? But now it was too much. And now she was on her hands and knees, searching around the chairs for anything. One little piece of candy]

Comments

[puppy_lancer]

That would be great.

[Unless Ayaka got scared or something.]

[Throughout the entire conversation, he's been sniffing at the air, trying to see if any areas smell more like blood or monsters than the rest. To his consternation, all the places smelled exactly the same.]

Tch. Monsters. Never around when you need them.

[divinitysoiled]

It seems they have become as scarce as the candy. [She took a shallow breath, concerned]

[puppy_lancer]

Fucking admins. Always making things difficult.

[For him, collecting candy wasn't just about avoiding a humiliating death. It was about staying alive to fulfill his duty to Ayaka.]

[divinitysoiled]

We should continue onward. It does us no good to stay here and talk.

[puppy_lancer]

How fast can you go?

[Time, and therefore speed, would be crucial here.]

[divinitysoiled]

[She smiled] Ready to find out?

[puppy_lancer]

...I'll come back for you if can't catch up.

[He starts running, at speeds that are relatively slow for him.]

[divinitysoiled]

[And off she goes, easily keeping up with him]

[puppy_lancer]

[He throws a look behind him. When he finds her easily following, he increases his speed.]

[divinitysoiled]

[She laughed breathily and kept up, easily increasing her speed]

[puppy_lancer]

[Well, it seems she can keep up easily enough. He continues running at that speed until he comes to floor 37.]

Not bad.

[divinitysoiled]

[She smiled at him, looking proud] Of course. Did you forget I'm not human?

[puppy_lancer]

Nah.

[He just takes way too much pride in his speed.]

Just not too sure what you can do.

[divinitysoiled]

What a human can do? I can do better. You're quite quick yourself.

[puppy_lancer]

Remember I'm not exactly human at the moment.

[He wonders how much better Catarina would be able to do compared to a human, or even a reinforced magus.]

[divinitysoiled]

That is true. I would like to test your... limits at some point. [Smile.]

[puppy_lancer]

Hey now. Go too fast and we won't have a chance to enjoy it.

[divinitysoiled]

Who said I wanted it to go by fast? I have to wonder how many days your endurance would last.

[puppy_lancer]

It's C, so a few days.

[His expression turns somber again.]

But you know, obligations.

[divinitysoiled]

[She smiled wider at the admittance of his endurance, then froze as he turned serious] Of course? Obligations.

[puppy_lancer]

It's mostly that girl. Have to watch her at nights, until this costume fiasco is over, at least.

[divinitysoiled]

Is she truly unable to watch over herself?

[puppy_lancer]

It's a matter of honor.

[He swore to look over her and by hell he'll do it.]

[divinitysoiled]

Honor, huh? Such a loaded word.

[Not to mention it made her feel strange, the idea of protecting someone like that]

[puppy_lancer]

It might be weird by some other peoples' standards, but yeah, I've got my own way of doing things.

[He might not have Saber's courtesy; as he said, he wasn't that sort of knight. But loyalty he had in spades.]
