<div style="text-align: justify;">Shadow Mari moved her gaze to Cheshire when he grinned at her. She would have replied to his observation about her lying skills, but Dumas - for her amusement - did it for her. Showing that slightly maniac smile, she looked at Dumas and then back at Cheshire. "Oh, yes, it has. I would say I am almost a professional by now. Am I right, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Baby</span></span>?"<br/><br/>The man Dumas held captive was too scared to argue at the moment. Of course, he would drop dead before he ever admitted that. But for the time being, he was very near to a man who could easily kill him. So, fuck his pride, right? His life meant a lot more. With this reasoning, he nodded hastily and stepped away from Dumas. "I... I will tell the boss."<br/><br/>Mari looked at Dumas' hand on her arm and nodded. "Just a little more gently than earlier this morning, please, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Baby</span></span>."<br/><br/>Laughing, Shadow Mari allowed Dumas to lead her to whatever they would go. Only once they had stopped at a place he considered safe, she would speak again. "Did he tell you the great morning we had? I can't wait to go back home for round 2, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Baby</span></span>. It's a shame dummy won't remember a thing, isn't it?" Shadow Mari chuckled softly. "She would have loved it. Oh, wait... no, I don't think she would. She has those old fashioned ideas about saving herself for her true love. Too bad she won't get to wait now..."</div>
