Kanbaru Otoko
As confusing a conclusion as it was at least the Tower floor was more or less cleared, throwing the two groups back to their inn. A perfect time for Kanbaru to release a sigh from the day's trials and promptly stiffen as a wash of electricity shot up her arm and did it's level best to make her heavy hair shoot out like a silver sea urchin. Far from a lethal shock and done more as a protest to still possessing her, the Serei card seemed keen to make her displeasure known in spite of all threats made against it.
"Guh, what a headache I've picked. And don't think I didn't notice you trying to jump ship." Kanbaru grumbled, a intensely baleful eye turned her spectral companion, the faint curdle of disgust brewing in her gut at it's moment of telling cowardice. She dismissed the feeling and the nun with a grunt, instead plastering on a wan smile as Annabel marched up to ask for her card back.
"Hmm, you want the card back. Somehow I don't think you'd be returning anything if the situations were reversed, and frankly, you owe me for poaching Riku like that. I had her dead to rights and you freed her from me. So I'mma sit on this card for a bit and think on it more in the morning." With a careless shrug the whale made to move past her, pausing briefly to whisper in her ear, "Unless you have something to make me feel more....generous~"
With an airy laugh to the room and a wave to Ami and company she mounted the stairs to the private rooms with a stride unbroken by Castle rising from her shadow to deliver a message. Curious but not entirely not unexpected given who weird Akiko was about it. "Sure, sure. I'll be waiting for your call, kitty."
By that she meant she'd be waiting outside Akiko's door, eyes dancing merrily as she heard the raunchy dealings of a knightly Serei and her cat girl summoner. And I thought I was the horny one here!
