She tried to calm herself by not looking into his eyes directly. Saru tried desperately to look everywhere else, but it was to no avail. The sight of the few greys that dappled his dark hair, the way his hands moved when he spoke. All of these things were enough to drive her to distraction. She could feel a tug towards him that she had not felt with any other. She knew he was different. His scent alone told her that, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different about him.<br/><br/>Shaking her head slightly again, she reached towards a hidden fold in her dress and extracted the small black device from within. Despite the fact that her clothes were rather form fitting, she always managed a hidden pocket or two. Looking at the small item rather disdainfully, an item any other person might mistake for something else entirely, she handed it over to Drake. Her breath catching slightly as their fingers made contact. The electricity from that brief touch sent a small shiver down her spine.<br/><br/>Madame did her best to shift into business mode, explaining yet another function that had ceased to work.<br/><br/>“Now, after failing to locate my staff member, I then tried to bring the item directly to you. You know how quickly I like to travel, and getting it fixed was of the utmost importance. But, when I tried…nothing. I couldn’t summon your shop’s location, couldn’t bring myself to you….” She paused at this, then cleared her throat and continued.<br/><br/>“I couldn’t go anywhere! Not even from one room to the next. Finally, and this is what disturbs me the most, I cannot seem to get certain areas of my Carnival to work properly, since so much is controlled by the device. Some rides have had to be closed for “repairs” and you know that means loss of business.” Giving him a meaningful look, “I know you can relate to the seriousness of that!”<br/><br/>Smiling slightly, she leaned forward to see what Drake was doing with the item, unaware of how her scent drifted towards him as she did so.
