While he felt bad for having to subject Nerissa to that kind of treatment, both of them knew she'd been through far worst in the past. He couldn't take it too easy on her, or else her enemies would simply run roughshod all over her. This was going to be for her own good, and hopefully she would be able to learn something from this little bout, even if it was more fun and games than actual training... No, the actual training would have probably been worse, there was no room for fun and games there.<br/><br/><em>'They can't honestly expect everyone, old and new, to become jaded like me. Let them hold onto the happier moments and memories. You gave this world a chance, Ner... While I'm not sure if you like it better than your old home  hopefully we can make it more fun.'</em>He internalized his thoughts as he laid atop Nerissa, smiling softly .. Which was interrupted moments later by a leg sensually brushing against his thigh and even his pelvis.<br/><br/>"N-Nerissa!?" He asked awkwardly, eyes opening asked realizing her hand was now under his shirt, fingers roaming his scarred chest and even nibbling on his ear! Was he waking up some sort of animalistic battle-lust in h- No, wait! Calder Demon... And one that knew his vices, knew his weaknesses. This was a bold-faced attempt to make him leap off of her because she knew exactly how he would react! So all he had to do was subvert her expectations and her plan would fall flat! Closing his eyes, he swallowed gently and tipped his head up, breathing softly.<br/><br/>"M-me too, Neri..." He whispered quietly, warmly against her ear as he muzzled against the side of her head. He was feeling extremely awkward about feigning something like that but... Anything goes, and it was only ten seconds he had to hold her down. It would take much more than ten seconds for anything meaningful to happen.<em>'Hmhm... Sorry, Neri, but the first point is mine.'</em>
