Albion gave a playful shrug, though maybe Nerissa had him figured out that she had nothing to worry about... Or so she thought. In his time of watching other girls, he became aware of just what kind of outfits tended to tickle his fancy, especially of the swimsuit variety. There were a great many he liked, but he wanted to make sure something especially fitting was donned by the foxgirl. It seemed Nerissa was curious about his proclivities... Look but not touch, huh? Well, she was sort of right.<br/><br/>"Well, I guess if you're just going to ask so out in the open like that... Yes, I have voyeuristic tendencies." He laughed gently  finding no shame in admitting it. It was something others could guess given how often he seemed to go to clubs, the best place to exercise said tendencies. Hkwever, he hadn't been expecting Nerissa to just come out and try to emulate such a sexy pose, as he cleared his throat. "*AHEM* Save some of that for when you're washing my car." He coughed out quickly, trying to sound serious but also mask the fact that she looked really cute doing that.<br/><br/>Of course that distraction was all it took before the balloons filled his vision, like a birthday party gone horribly wrong as he swung out to try and brush aside the ballons, only to find them imaging out of existence. "... Illusions...!" He cursed his choice of words in 'within your power', as Nerissa had taken him literally and weaved her power into the game. However, there was still one advantage he had over Nerissa when it came to her power: Without sound, the fading and 'popping' of the balloons could not mask the footfalls of Nerissa's hasty approach to end this decisively, and with narrowed eyes, he crouched and waited for her to approach before he rolled forward and over her sweeping leg<br/><br/>"I'm going to give you props for that one... Using my words against me very nearly caught me off guard... But!" He began, bringing his cushioned hand down on the back of her head to thwap it like a teacher getting a students attention... Or reprimanding them. He could have made a grab, but it seemed he wanted to play a little bit, evident by the smile on his face. "Very nearly isn't enough."
