Saru kisses him back softly, blushing and smiling warmly at his words. Dropping her gaze from his as he speaks, she looks up into his eyes at the mention of her yipping. She grins brightly and laughs, returning his wink quickly. “Yes, I think that is a wonderful plan, Drake. Let’s get this mystery solved quickly and…enjoy each other afterward.” Smirking slightly, she leans in to whisper into his ear, “You weren’t exactly quiet either, my dear. And I’m sure you have more abilities to show me, just as I have more talents to show you.” Brushing her face alongside his, cheek to cheek, she slides her lips across his, nipping lightly at his lower lip before getting up from his lap.<br/><br/>Turning away from him slightly, trying to compose herself, she conjures up two drinks. Her standard mojito & his special Port; handing him the glass of Port, she sits down next to him this time and takes a sip of her own drink. “Now, as for this employee…His name is Khross, though he used to go by another name at some point. He is one of my best employees, always there for me, which is why his disappearance has been even more traumatic. He is good with computers and takes care of the computer that runs a lot of the rides.” Looking him in the eyes, once more, she smiles softly, unable to resist reaching out to push an errant hair behind his ear. Blushing once more, she takes another sip of her drink before setting it down on the table before them.<br/><br/>“I don’t know if there’s any connection there between this spirit and my employee. To be honest, I don’t know enough of his background to make any sort of connection. But, anything is certainly possible, my dear Drake.” Sighing quietly, a look of concern crosses her face. “I really hope we find him, and that he is unharmed. As I said, he is one of my best employees. One might even say, my favourite, really. I am so worried about him…” Her hand reaches out for Drake’s, clasping it tightly. “I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are here to help me. It really does mean the world to me.”<br/><br/>Sighing wearily once more, she leans against Drake, resting her head on his shoulder. Despite her need for comfort, she can feel her body react each time she makes contact with his. Feeling a burning need for him welling up inside her, she tries to push it from her mind and ignore her body. Priorities, woman, she thought. “We must locate this spirit. We must find Khross. Hopefully, if we find one, we will find the other. And then we can see about getting my device to work again.”<br/><br/>Smiling up at him, she cannot help but have warm feelings for Drake. She admired his strength, his resolve, and his knowledge very much. If things had been different, if she had not been born kitsune…Well, she wasn’t about to indulge those thoughts. Still, she was so happy to have him here, helping her. Trying hard not to let the thought of him leaving cross her mind, she leaned in once more to kiss his cheek, blushing yet again. “So, where do we go from here? I’m ready to follow wherever you lead, my dear.”
