Hikari: *soon breaks the kiss with a huff to regain herself.* "And so our agreement is sealed. Please assist us through these tunnels."
*Hikari turns back to the porcelain goth girl with a rose colored face.*
"A noble must learn to be a bit more diplomatic, Mrs. Iona. You can't assume that everyone is an enemy if they aren't under your charge or work for you. Everyone has their own needs and desires, especially those with little more than a cave to live in. How can we ask her to help us without offering something meaningful in return? A bit of benevolence here and there could go a long way, you never know. Besides, I'm doing this to help you and everyone here. I feel no shame or dishonor in that."
*she smiles softly with a blush, pleased that she could assist the group and stave off a potential rape attempt upon the seemingly clueless Iona.*
