That was the first time Felice had recognised her friend's playful, or rather mischievous, nature since they'd entered the oppulent bedroom.<br/><br/>"Yes, Ma'am," the girl responded with a grin, "Never let it be said that Felice shies away from research!"<br/><br/>Felice began to peel off her gloves, making a show of folding them neatly and placing each one beside the bed. Then, once she was sure they and her concealed blade were safely out of the way, she unbuckled her belt, before dropping it nochalently to the floor. Next, she slid her dress open to expose a set of functional but hardly enticing underwear. The tinkerer blushed, glancing away from her friend for a moment, though making no attempt to escape those clever fingers.<br/><br/>Her cheeks felt as though they were ablaze, as she reached up, unpinning her hair and letting the fiery locks tumble down over her bare shoulders. Felice bit her lip, sucking on the warm flesh, while she watched Gerdi, searching her face for signs of approval.<br/>
