I didn't exactly recall having ever used the word 'adorable' while speaking with her, but I resisted the urge to bring up that particular fact.  She had probably just misheard me, or something.  After all, she did seem to be pretty flustered.<br/><br/>"Oh, I don't know.  I'm at least as cute as you, and I daresay I find it to be a blessing, more often than a curse."  Actually, I thought I was quite a bit cuter, but of course I wasn't going to bring that up, either.  Your average mortal can't compete with Succubus blood, after all.  "If you know how to take advantage of your looks, you can get quite a bit from people who let their libidos do the thinking for them.  Of course, it's generally a little easier when you have somebody to watch your back, since they can provide a convenient escape if men start getting a little<em>too</em>interested..."<br/><br/>And then, of course, there are people like my mother, who causes jaws to start hitting the floor, simply by walking into the room.  If she'd been there, Mikuru could probably have stripped naked, and nobody would have spared her a second glance.<br/><br/>I swear, that woman's fiendishly-good charisma can get annoying, at times...
