Draiss finally pulled her into his chest, murmured softly to her. "Then we will wait. However long it takes, though I need to find your mother, I promised to help find her lost daughters. And you are more lost than most. My promise to her is more important than finding my lover."<br/><br/>He grinned as she stiffened with outrage, apparently having finally said something no illusion ever had. He passed the time telling her how he had met Ama, his fight with the male kitsune god, and Ama training him, though he left out the more risque parts. He finally stopped talking after getting to the part where he discovered that Ama had been using his reports on her lost daughters without telling him, and while he did mention that she had picked up the report before last, he stopped before he told her that Ama hadn't shown up for the most recent one.
