As the moonlight shone onto Xoxi, Yuki went from finding her cute, to finding her stunning. Her features were brought out in ways that Yuki wasn't expecting, and her beauty was something that reminded her a lot of Hecate. The blue aura that surrounded Xoxi's body did nothing but compliment the demigoddess' looks. Yuki was speechless, and remained that way until Xoxi picked her and her sister up over her shoulders. Though it was unnecessary, Yuki felt that it was strangely...romantic.

Then Xoxi asked where they were headed. Truth be told, Yuki was just going to bring Claire and Cia -as well as the then unconscious Xoxi- back to her own dimension to rest. She didn't quite know if Xoxi wanted to go somewhere in particular, so she had to ask.

[i][color=f7941a]You know, I've seen deals like these before[/color][/i] thought Claire. [i][color=f7941a]Yeah, first the evil dude forces someone into a deal, then the sucker reluctantly agrees, the sucker fulfills their end of the deal, and the evil dude finds a loophole! ...Yeah, we're not doing that.[/color][/i]

Claire snickered a bit at her personal joke. In actuality, he did somewhat have a point. If Yuki was in love with Xoxi, then Xoxi's death or injury would probably give him just enough of an opening to get a hit in...Then again even if he did hit her, their contingency plan would come into action, and things would spell out badly for the dude. Claire hoped it wouldn't have to come to that.

[i][color=f7941a]Sorry, dude. You want to find Miriam? Do some research and think on it a bit. Maybe then you'll find a way to find her...or not. Nyeh.[/color][/i]

If Claire could stick her tongue out at him, she would...but she wasn't entire sure, so she had to make a sound that indicated she was doing so.
