Mariastopheles kept the smirk she felt coming on from showing up on her face as the goddess pointed at her. She couldn't help but feel good knowing her teases had gotten to the goody goody goddess. Pulling up her elbow length gloves and affixing the loop around each of her middle fingers she shot a look back at Caressa that implied being undaunted by her accusations. “Can't a girl have a little fun?” She grinned. “If you must know, I was being flirty for a reason. I thought it would be a bit of a confidence booster for Mike to have a cute and sexy girl flirt with him. That way he's feeling good and confident when we introduce our respective would be girlfriends to him.” Maria wondered if the goddess would buy her line. It seemed like a reasonable enough response even if it was an outright fabrication.<br/><br/>To help sell it she took up Mike's clothes that she had intended to take to him. Stepping closer to Caressa she held them out. “Here, why don't you take him his clothes. I know you don't fully trust me, we are enemies after all and I am a demoness. I assure you I intend to win this challenge fair and square however.” Internally she cackled at the thought of doing anything fair and square. If she could wrap him around her little finger with her wiles then she planned on doing it, goddess or no.
