Kital briefly considered firing a jet of water back at her friend, just to make a point, but she couldn't quite see how to manage that without soaking the man whose hand she was perched upon. That'd doubtless lead to another round of demands and apologies, and the Matsuba couldn't stomach the thought of having to do that a second time. She settled for just screwing up her nose and wiggling her face back at her friend's taunting.<br/><br/>As the teasing turned more towards praise and gratitude, however, Kital's expression became uncharacteristically bashful. She glanced away from the pair for a moment, before loudly proclaiming, "<i>Well, of course! I wasn't <i>just </i>going to let some weird human carry you off!</i>"<br/><br/>She didn't say anything else, but she did turn her attention towards the man's tome once she looked back. Like her friend, she was quite curious to see what he had planned. While she vaguely understood what contracts entailed, in truth she didn't really know anything about the actual process, and was eager to see how it worked.
