But that's not really my place to ponder, I'm only here to teach you how to defend yourself." Albion mused, before he gave an indifferent shrug. "Sorry... I've never really pet a fox before, so a dog is the closest thing I can compare it too. Your... Fox form was cute." Perhaps the easiest way to his heart was probably going to be running circles around him with that form... Now if only he could show a little more emotion...<br/><br/>"If you can like me after how I treated you earlier... You might not be right in the head... But yeah, that's what I mean about you having friends and people just waiting to take advantage of you. Some might act nice, some might say things to flatter you, but most just intend to have their way with you if you let them... Inside of SOPHE and out." Maybe she already knew this and their oil advantage of it. At the end of it all, it was her choice.<br/><br/>So the licking... Was just a way to try and get him to feel better. Maybe it was a demon thing, specifically between the fox demons? "I've never heard of that, but... I suppose it makes sense. Still, if you really want to do something like that..." He trailed off, frowning she had already cut him off from choosing he'd rather be left alone. "A shoulder to lean  on is comforting enough, in private or public. Though with any luck, I won't need it." He admitted flat out. She would at least have the option to offer it if he ever needed it, though.<br/><br/>Once more, his hand came up to gently pat her head. "As long as you're aware of the risks and this is what you want to do, then I can't say anything to stop you. It'll simply be our job at SOPHE to try and keep you safe, either through training you or maintaining security over you." He nodded, appreciating her resolve in sticking to what she did best. All he needed to do was stick to what<em>he</em>did best now.<br/><br/>His eyes narrowed as she joked about him doing bad things to her if she didn't move... But she had read him like a book in that she knew he wouldn't. It wasn't entirely true, but he had controlled himself enough that the only place he could let out that kind of behavior was when he wasn't working. "Am I that easy for you to read? Perhaps I'm just predictable or boring then... Not that this is a problem for me." He looked about as he waited for hee to stand up... Only to sigh when she didn't. "It depends... I'll go to a tavern to hang out sometimes, wander Tokyo, rent company for an evening, go eat at a fast food place... What's the curiosity for?"
