Maya smiled up at him, nodding her head and wrapping her arm around his own once his arm was free of the device. "I can live with that! But I'm at least paying for anything afterwards!" She said, putting a finger to his lips once he tried to speak again. "No, I insist no matter what! Unless you weren't trying to protest...... Then what were you going to ask?" She asked, bringing her down from his lips with a smirk now on her salmon pink lips. "But if your paying for dinner, I don't want to do something too expensive....... So what about that new restaurant that has delicious sea food? I hear it's absolutely devine!" She said, leaning up against him a bit so they were close to each other, her curvaceous body pressed against his own.

"That's fine Icarus! Where would you like to go?" Crystal asked, getting undressed in front of him but not minding one bit. "I mean, there's no problem with it being too expensive! After all, I am rich!" She said happily, pulling out a beautiful silk dress that was made in the style of a Japanese short-sleeved kimono that had beautiful designs sewn into it with golden embroidery thread. She quickly put it on and it was tight fitting, but honestly that's how all of her clothes were except for her pajamas. She put on matching heels and put on a turquoise necklace that was the shade of the dress, turning to Icarus with a smile. "So, where to?" She asked, her eyes gleaming in the setting light.

Rosalinda looked sad when he pulled his hand away, staring down at the ground until the ride was over. She quietly got off, walking out of the carousel establishment while not watching where she was going. [i]Did I do something wrong? Did he not like holding my hand? Maybe that's what it is..... Why do I screw everything up?! I try to make him happy, yet all I do is make him upset! Maybe..... Maybe he just doesn't like happiness..... Does that mean I'll have to become like him to make him happy? God, I just don't know......[/i] She thought to herself, kicking a rock on the ground as she tried to think about something else. The flowers on the bushes started to wilt wherever she walked, and she didn't know if Kazuki was following her or not. But she started to think about changing, doing something to please her master...... She just didn't know what.

Eris blinked as Nina hugged her, her words sinking into her head as she slowly hugged Nina back. "Don't you ever, make me go into that dark place again...... It always scares the living crap out of me......" Eris explained, hugging Nina tighter before she literally picked her up and slung her over her shoulder. Despite having weakened strength from that glorious show of power she had given, Nina was light, and Eris knew they would have to get out of there fast. "Better hand on tight!" She told Nina before blotting off down the tunnel, going at speeds only a doll could go. She soon saw a dull glow up ahead, pushing herself to the max before they burst out of the tunnel and into the backyard of Nina's house. "Huh...... That it would be father than that." Eris said before she set Nina down and collapsed onto her back, her body aching for a rest even though she had been resting just hours before.
