In all honesty, Mei-Li wasn't *sure*. If she really, really thought about it - Both choices were equally as likely/equally as risky! Not just in whether they were true, or not...But in how it'd affect their progress-!<br/><br/>"...The same place~?" she echoed - Yes, that was possible! It was entirely possible...She glanced at Suzaku, seeking confirmation - But if she hadn't thought about it, neither did he.<br/><br/>"I -<em>Hmmmm.</em>" A soft<em>tsk</em>purred from Mei-Li's lips, as she cupped her chin in slim fingers. "I think - We might have to chance it. Everyone will be heading for the Vault by the conventional route...There's little chance we'll beat them to it. But if what he says is right..."<br/><br/>Her slim shoulders lifted in a little shrug!<br/><br/>"...Our odds are better, all things considered. Besides - He's paying us. We won't have to compete with the other players that way...Especially not when we're just starting out."<br/><br/>They were good reasons.<em>Sound</em>reasons - They made sense to Mei-Li when she said it! She told herself that the way Zetaz was looking at her had nothing to do with it...Never mind that he *was* pretty charming for a halfling, as she moistened her full lips. The emerald-eyed Asian vixen drew a deep breath, exhaling s-l-o-w-l-y...Yes, it had<em>nothing</em>to do with it at all. (Right~?)<br/><br/>"Well, Mister Zetaz~" she breathed - Her slim fingers splaying against the table, as she glanced back at Suzaku...With a quick nod, as if to say that this was the right thing to do! "-It looks like you've got yourself a pair of bodyguards." The subtle shift of Mei-Li's stance made her cheongsam shimmer, made the scarlet silk *cling*...So sheer, it outlined her enticing curves - No, she wasn't going to do that again!<br/><br/>"So, I suppose our question is..."<br/><br/>"-When do we leave~?"
