Suzume again attempted a brief struggle as the Captain came at her, though once more the effort proved futile.  Trapped between the man and the wall as she was, she was unable to slip past him and get out of his reach, and she lacked the strength and muscle mass to break her wrists free of his hold on them.  The strong, heady scent that being so close to him brought down upon her was starting to cloud her mind, making it difficult to think of other options, as well, and before long, her lips were caught up in a kiss...<br/><br/>There was a surprised yelp, muffled by the lips pressing against her own, of course, when she felt that knee coming up between her legs, and she still continued trying weakly to pull away for a few seconds after that, but at this point...  Well, he basically had her.  By the time her struggles stopped, she had begun to actively kiss the man back, pressing her body back against his, and eventually, whenever he saw fit to release her arms, she would end up pressing her hands against his chest, spreading his shirt open to feel the warm skin underneath, rather than trying to push him off and escape.<br/><br/>"C-Cap'n..."  And whenever she had a chance to speak, he would also hear that she had dropped the 'prim, proper' way of speaking that she had been using and fallen back on the old nautical accent that she had once commonly spoken with...  It was as clear a sign as any that, at the moment, Suzume de Bedeau had left the building.  For now, at least, Kuno was back.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>((Nah. ^^; If I were going to make it a combat, Kuno would be using her Married Woman of High Social Standing (1) cliche to defend, and probably would have already lost by this point.  I'm more than happy to leave this up to roleplaying, though.))
