"Clothes eh? You know, I'm always a bit more partial to the no clothes aspect... even though you might now be."

"Well, I follow, not lead. Take the lead."

Ciridia looked at Miv.

"Can I?" Without waiting for an answer, she began walking with Jessica following.

Miv shrugged and followed her.

"C'mon."

D'Artigo gave a small bow as the women took the lead. "Lead on my lady's. Know that I am behind you."

Ciridia snorted.

"Keep your eyes on our BACKS. No lower."

D'Artigo laughs. "What if I am observing the ground on which you walk? Looking for tracks and that? I am not permitted to look at the ground?"

"Ground. I suppose."

"Lyca, you overestimate me in my... habits. That must be said. Also, some of this I believe is a bit undeserved. When we stayed with the witch, there was a whole night where I could've take advantage of you. A whole night. And what did I do? Nothing."

"Don't remind me about being so close to you. I'll make SURE to never do that again."

She frowned.

"And I'll make sure never to take that mask off again. Not because you don't look amazing, but because I don't feel like being bitten again." She said to him.

"Being close is not what's dangerous darling. Removing the mask without my permission is what's dangerous. I'm glad you learned something from that experience, as much as it was my displeasure of putting you through that. But some lessons are accepted, some are learned through difficult means."

Ciridia snorted.

"I bet you enjoyed hurting me. And you're STILL hurting me."

She moved her hand to her neck: the burning she'd felt since the bite had happened was still there. Full force.

"I believe that was uncalled for. I have never enjoyed inflicting pain on others, it's just a mere inconvenience which gets in the way sometimes. If you truly believe I enjoyed it, then I would have to ask for justification in your reasoning."

"You took ALOT of blood." Ciridia shivered.

"It hurts. It still hurts. Do you even know if the pain goes away?"

"I know I took a lot of blood. Maybe too much. Trust me though, the physical pain will fade... psychological, if you have any, maybe not. But physical pain does leave after a while."

Ciridia put her head down.

"Don't do that whole 'I'm sorry' deal. You shouldn't care, we're supposed to be enemies. Besides, you nearly KILLED me."
