<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/nvQJUqt.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Albion<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>June 15th, 2021, 11:00 AM<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>City Streets<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Nerissa, Open | Toshiro and Ryusei mentioned<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong>Well, this is embarassing.<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Sharp style<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Yeah well, try explaining that to the soccer moms. It's their own fault for bringing their kids around shared neighborhoods like this... What, you worried about me? Hah, don't be, it'll take more than a few words to really bring my mood down! Otherwise I'm pretty sure I would've quit working already." Albion shrugged. Nerissa continued to he something of a conundrum; Ever playful and mischevious, and yet supportive when she wanted to be. It was no wonder she was so well-liked in SOPHE.<br/><br/>"I kind of envy you for that. I can't really get away with less clothes, societal expectations and all that." He spoke, all the while trying to out aside the mental image of how Nerissa would look like with less clothes than she already had. Damm it, why did she make this so easy!? This would have been the perfect sensation were he back at base relaxing, but right now it was the most uncomfortable feeling to try to wall around with a pitched tent barely hidden by a hanging grocery nag infront.<br/><br/>"... Huh? I think you're misunderstanding a bit, Neri. It's just easier to not have to worry about commitments and just focus on the fun, hahah!" Albion laughed... Though he knew it was a bold-faced lie. He couldn't have been that easy to read to her, could he? Still, she caught on to the fact he certainly had hangups, all of which dated back to the turbulent times before he joined SOPHE. If he needed anything to help take his mind off of what was happening now, those memories certainly worked, even if they were painful.<br/><br/>... Yet even they paled in comparison to the full-force hug from a cute, small foxgirl. By the time Albion realized how she was hugging him, he had already choked back the wince of realization that he had poked Nerissa against her belly, leaving him to twitch down below and hope she didnt notice it... But she did. Yet... Rather than tease him and play with it, she was.. Understanding. Breathing a quiet sigh, he almost wanted to continue petting the little vixen for her maturity.<br/><br/><em>'I'm turned on and I'm getting consoled by Nerissa. What bizarre world did I wake up in? Maybe this is the work of an enemy demon...'</em>the male thought with a hint of sarcasm, but he could tell the kind warmth Nerissa was giving him was genuine.<br/><br/>"Hey, hey, you make me sound like I don't have any friends. I've already got you, Lily, Toshiro counts, Mallory... I'm actually not sure, I think she'd rather befriend books. But yeah... I have enough friends Neri, but thanks." He nodded, raising a hand to pet her head gently. "As for the<em>rest</em>if that... Well, I'm not sure if I'm ready to commit to a relationship again yet. But whether I'm ready or not, thanks to you I have a date with Lily to work out and I have to try my best to not screw that one up." He chuckled, before blinking as she reached up and kissed him on the cheek. From teasing to caring to affectionate... The vixen was all over the place. Maybe it was her Calder charm?<br/><br/>But the story that followed was... Definitely not one he expected. He stopped walking, turning to face Nerissa as this had perhaps been the first time he heard her talk about something so personal. So used to the mischief-maker was he that he didn't quite know what to say or make of her story. He just looked skyward for the moment, sighing quietly and realizing he had someone similar to him right next to him. He resented everything he had to go through, only to watch it amount to nothing... But maybe like Nerissa, maybe it happened for a reason, and maybe it was worthe enduring it to become what he was now... Though he clearly could have been better. "I-"<br/><br/>And just like that, she was back to her usual self, joking with him about using protection. "Hey, I ALWAYS come ready with protection! ... Well, sometimes, bareback and raw dog can be preeetty fun as long as you're prepared." Well, if she was going to return to her mischevious self, then Albion certainly wasn't going to let her leave him behind. "I can't say I'm surprised to find out you fool around too... Nothing wrong with that, though. That being said, I uh, do more than kissing, but you could probably already guess that." He gave a sheepish shrug. Well, he was already out in the open as far already his illicit activities were concerned, detailing the specifics didn't really bother him.<br/><br/>Upon being asked what his preferences were like, he laughed. "What, I'm supposed to pick? I like both, thank you... Buuuuut, if I DID have to pick..." Albion grinned, turning around and reaching his free hand out toward Nerissa's chest, seemingly about to cop a feel... Before his hand darted under her arm and went behind her, poking her in her round backside. "I'm an ass man."<br/><br/>Pulling back with a laugh, he turned around and all but skipped along with a laugh as Neri followed close behind. "Who knows? Probably think we had a quickie, maybe? I'm just hoping Lily doesn't think too badly of that... Gonna have to try and make it up to her if she assumes the worst." He sighed, squinting and looking ahead. Further up, he could at least see Toshiro sitting among a food court, and what looked like Ryusei standing near one of the clothing stores. Had Lily and the others not made it yet? "I'm gonna be shocked if we wasted all that time and we're still kind of early..."
