<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/nvQJUqt.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Albion<br/><strong>DAY:</strong>June 15th, 2021, Morning<br/><strong>LOCATION:</strong>Beauty Salon<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Nerissa, Lily,<br/><strong>EXTRA:</strong>There's a light at the end of this tunnel, right?<br/><strong>WEARING:</strong>Dressy pants, thankfully.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Hah hah hah, laugh it up while you can, you little gremlin, this is what you have to date." Albion narrowed his eyes and looked close to blowing a raspberry at her. Treating it like humor would, at least, keep her from discovering the true things Albion wanted no one to see. The things he felt Nerissa had peeked in on. "Heh, bold of you to assume you're taking me away from anything, who's the one getting a little head of themselves now? Remember, it's just<em>one date</em>..." He parroted the tech-junkies' words right back at her with a rather Cheshire Cat-grin.<br/><br/>With a quiet sigh, he looked down at his chest, before he looked back to Lily, folding his arms. "Between you and me, if this is something ladies have to go through with on a daily basis just to stay appealing, I'd rather they just go all natural and let the chips fall where they may." the male sighed. Honestly he was pretty sure more than half the girls he rented for those lonely evenings didn't go through anywhere near as much trouble to ready themselves for said evenings. Maybe they were just sure people would take them as-is.<br/><br/>Maybe they were right.<br/><br/>There was no doubt the ladies here could work their magic, given they were willing to work on a disaster like Albion. The only troublesome part was trying to work that magic through the innumerable distractions provided by Nerissa and him. Lily was probably a saint compared to the two of them, as she did a very good job of just keeping herself away to watch the mayhem unfold. You could tell that the two of them had been through hell so much that this just seemed like another routine to them. Lily was happy to make sure Albion had the most chaotic afternoon being prettified, but he had other concerns to resolve with Nerissa first.<br/><br/>Cocking his head, he sighed. "I'm not used to<em>those</em>kind of comments. Especially in public.: Sometimes dealing with Nerissa had been quite the handful. She still did not seem to get societal norms at times, and she had very different views on public displays compared to others. "But, thank you... I think. I'm not sure what biting and my backside has anything to do with it, but maybe I don't want to know."<br/><br/>The secrets concerning that fateful night had so far been kept between the two of them and even as the little disaster fox playfully tied his tie around her neck (she happened to look quite cute with it), she pretended to not know what he meant, that she only had warm feelings for him... Warm as the fiery spectacle that evening turned out to be, but Albion couldn't say anymore lest other people (especially a certain nosey tech junkie) try to dig deeper into what happened and how it involved two of the most problematic people in SOPHE. "Warm, right...  Let's just keep it that way. Now, the other thing..." He needed to make sure she didn't forget.<br/><br/>... Instead she did she saw everything... And liked it. Albion's brows could only quirk as Nerissa leaned in, fingers running along his chest, tracing the several scars upon his chest, some deeper than others. Yet he had to minting his composure even as his friend tried to tease him (was she? He couldn't tell but she couldn't possibly be enjoying herself). Though those thoughts quickly went as Nerissa didn't let her hand stop roaming, to which Albion sighed. "Neri, could you try being a little more serious...?"<br/><br/>Serious indeed. He got it in spades when Nerissa dropped the tone of her voice and leaned in, go the point where her scent was esily discerned even within the Beauty Salon. The sentence was short, quiet, but the weight was felt as she mentioned 'the singular object', to which his eyes narrowed. It could have been the picture... But maybe she meant the bullet. As serious as she was... That was what it had to be. His frown was obvious, but he gave a quiet nod... Only for that frown to turn upside down as his brow raised when she licked him... Only to sour at the taste of wax. "With your<em>tongue</em>? Come on, Neri, don't do that to yourself, at least use a tissue..." He groaned, pointing to his bag. "I bought snacks and soft drinks earlier, go wash the taste out... Or you can just order something alcoholic..." He pulled back from Nerissa with a sigh, though his chest rose and fell from the sudden move; He was pacing his breathing now so he didn't get excited.<br/><br/>"You should just let the ladies do their jobs, Neri. Either that, or I'm starting to think we need to get you a part-time job here." the white-haired male sighed, as the next few moments were spent with Nerissa deciding beauty setups for both him and Lily. It was almost frightening how the mischievous foxgirl knew so much about this when she usually did not show much interest in such things. Maybe she cared more about her beauty than he first realized? She had been more successful in her dating endeavors over the few years he'd known her... Even if none of them ended on favorable terms.<br/><br/>At least she didnt give up like he did.<br/><br/>"This is going to be one long morning..." He lamented quietly.<br/>
