<div style="text-align: justify;">Marissa also felt pretty happy being in there with Nanook and being able to treat him the way she was without him getting upset. She had often been told that she was too ‘touchy-feely’, and it was good to spend time with someone who didn’t mind that side of her. And of course, just like Nanook, she hadn’t been involved in a romantic relationship yet. Their reasons were probably different, of course. While Nanook had needed to hold out for the one person he would be with forever, Marissa had held back from relationships because she didn’t consider herself worthy of being with someone when she could at a moment’s notice change into someone else. Now, that part of her life was gone, though.<br/><br/>Turning her attention back to Nanook, Marissa smiled gently when he started talking about getting her some jewelry. She wasn’t the kind of girl for expensive things, but it was nice to know that Nanook wanted to give her something. It felt like a kindness on his part, the kind of which she had never gotten from anyone else.<br/><br/>When Nanook said that he still had the costume from the night he had been in the club, Marissa smiled curiously. “Now that you mention that, I’m starting to wonder what kind of clothes you might still have”, she confessed with a smile. “I’m sorry, I’m too curious”, Marissa completed with a shy smile.<br/><br/>Focusing on Nanook’s next words, Marissa wondered for a moment when he mentioned the idea of her seeing herself in her other form. It sounded like an idea she would enjoy. But she was still curious. <br/><br/>When he spoke about her hair color, Marissa nodded. She closed her eyes and stopped to try and imagine what she would look like. Still, there was too much she couldn’t really figure out. She would have to see to know. <br/><br/>Nanook’s comment about her fangs made Marissa smile. It was nice to hear him say that. Widening her smile, she leaned closer to Nanook and shook her head. “Don’t you like my smile like this?”, she asked, obviously joking with him. It was clear in her blue eyes that she was not upset at all. It was her somewhat shy attempt of flirting, and that was all.</div>
