"Ah?" Ariiko turned her head, confused as to the sudden change in Noriakis demeanor. She felt the hand on her shoulder and turned to the woman. She heard her words... what was all this about begging? Ah, Ida had probably said something. Inwardly, she cursed her demon. However, Starlight... was indeed beautiful, and she had tended Ariikos wounds. Would it be so bad to allow this woman to ease her more?
"Is it true, what you say about allowing travel with each other's company?" She decided to allow Ida's lead on this to fall through, and she took Noriakis hands in hers. Perhaps this wouldn't be a bad idea to achieve her end goal. "I am in no need of protection but am willing to share blades with someone as fair and kind a maiden you are." Her dark eyes looked into the womans, a deep anger behind her eyes, buried beneath the compassion she showed now. Yet her thoughts mingled, tying in to the thought process Ida may have had. Yes... A night with her. That would grant her what she needed. She leaned forward, her hand on Noriaki's cheek.
"Say you wish me to stay, and I will." Her lips were mere inches from Noriakis.
