I know it isn't my best memory... To be honest, neither was waking up bound to my bed like it was a wild house party, but I understand the circumstances more." Albion shook his head, before he frowned. "Hey, what do you take me for, plain vanilla? I like a little excitement as much as the next guy." He grinned with delight, reminding Nerissa of what they had done and where. There was something so comforting about Nerissa leaning against him. "I'm not sure you want to do that, a lot can happen to you stuck with just me outside of civilization."<br/><br/>Though he spoke those words, there was an undeniable sense of interest in thinking about a day or two away from responsibility and just enjoying nature. Ih, perhaps they could even visit hot springs like they talked about months back? A nice, mixed gender bath for just the two of them would be amazing... Of course, they would still need to locate a place that allowed that in the first place.<br/><br/>It was, however, encouraging to hear he had been changing for the better. "I mean... This has to be an improvement over near-emotionless, suicidal assassin. It did take a very long time... Around a year or less to remember how to genuinely laugh and smile instead of fake it for company, and then... All of that time after to experience your feelings and kindness and try to figure out how I wanted to reply to them. I feel like this is after common thing for us strictly-trained guys." Albion sighed, realizing Kevin was probably in the same boat. Maybe... He would have to give him a nudge in the right direction.<br/><br/>He couldn't blame Nerissa for her awkwardness... She was worried about whether it should be public or a secret. He did not mind public, but his fears were a different story. If it were public, others would know they could use her to get to hin, or vice versa. "I... Would like for us to be public. I've discovered what makes me happy, and although I am afraid to show it openly, I would rather you know I was proud to show us together than hide us and make you think I do so for other reasons." He did, after all, rent hookers before... As well as the situation earlier today with the ring making him sound like a player (in a way, it had come true...).<br/><br/>It made him... Oddly happy to know she didn't mind being bitten, to which he smiled. "Well, if you don't mind, then maybe I'll have to do more than give you friendly licks from time to time .." He trailed off, flashing her a toothy smile. In truth, any mark he left on her was not as pronounced as it could have been. He enjoyed lovebites, and knowing she was okay with them was especially comforting... As well as knowing her shoulder was fair game too.<em>'I don't think you realize how much you're spoiling me, Neri...'</em><br/><br/>However, she stopped him dead when she mentioned the thing about him being a player. "About that... That's a special situation which I might need to be clothed to explain to you properly about... And you might need to be a little cooperative. The Lily thing, though... Yeah, it's going to be rough, no matter what." He frowned, before his eyes widened. "Neri... I know you don't like getting yelled at, but are you sure? I can just... Take all the blame. If I can at least preserve your friendship with her, I don't mind taking the bullet. But if it's what you're sure of... Well, I at least hope you don't take the brunt of it. You are right, though, that it would be best to do it sometime after the mission." Any kind of distraction would not be a good thing here... Especially when they were already going in functionally blind, so to speak.<br/><br/>However, the doom and gloom could wait, it was time to get dressed... Or at least test the dress. He snorted when she made sure the kiss landed on her lips, before he moved a hand to pet her head. "I really think I could get used to this... In any event, I... Don't think I've ever bought anything but I... Might have something back in the house that could work. Don't ask... Actually, just incase, let's get what we need while we're here, because if it doesn't fit, we'll be wasting time." He sighed, slipping into the bra with relative ease. He'd expected it to be more complicated than that, considering he was more used to taking them off than putting them on, but Nerissa certainly proved him wrong.<br/><br/>"This is still embarrassing no matter how I try to look at this... But I guess this will work just fine with the dress. Wait, should I also put on panties for this too? I mean, I know I'll have to later, but..."<br/><br/>I'll take 'Things Alby Never Expected To Say In His Life' for 500, Alex.
