Miki sighed.  Taking up the collar and manacles, before she replaced them, she looked into Mana's eyes.  "I do look forward to the day when I don't have to do this.  I'd like to have YOU dance here.  As yourself.  Not as a tool of the Slave Collar," she said, and then slipped the manacles back on, leaning in to replace the collar.  But something happened as she did so.  Before the collar actually closed, and exerted its influence once more, Miki's lips met Mana's, and then the collar closed as Miki pulled the young Dragon-Blooded close.
