[quote=Ditzy Stoneclub]"Why don't bird lady just get Nero to dinner? Then strip naked, dance on his lap, and get him to bed?"[/quote]

"[color=peru]You don't think I already tried to do that?[/color]" The Kikimora retorted to [u]Ditzy's[/u] suggestion. "[color=peru]It didn't work! He's stubborn![/color]"

[quote=Yang Bethlehem]"But, Sir Nero. It's up to you. I shall not ask you to repay us by giving your life for a fight that you wish to not participate again, If you refuse then I shan't force or bind you to our agreement. The choice is yours."[/quote]

[quote=Ozzy Skyway][color=gold]"Well whatever.  Sir Nero, you see how much this girl is willing to go for you.  Either accept those feelings or not.  Put an end to it once and for all."[/color][/quote]

Nero, still bound and gagged, managed to remove the cloth on his mouth and gave his answer while still tied up on the ground. "[color=navajowhite]Look, I am flattered that she likes me but... I'm a warrior that has taken an oath to serve justice and protect the innocent. My life is forfeit ever since I took that oath with the Black Wolves, even if they have turned to evil and madness. For me to take a lover will only distract me from my duty.[/color]"

He turned his head as best he could to the Kikimora. "[color=navajowhite]Rayya, it's not that I don't like you. Perhaps in another life we can be together, but not in this one. I'm already a dead man, Rayya. Sooner or later, I will die fighting the enemy, whoever that may be. It would be best for both of us that you look for someone else. Someone better than me. You deserve that much, Rayya.[/color]"

Rayya, the Kikimora, had tears rolling down her red cheeks. She was fuming in abject anger. "[color=peru]Don't you people have anything to say about that?![/color]"

Meanwhile, Neil arrived with the [u]Altissima sisters[/u] just in time to hear everything.
