“Thank you, my lord. I just need to ask her something.” Midori gave Shintaro a grateful smile, then looked at the woman and shook her head. “Thank you for the offer, but I will pass. I don't want to take any more of the lord's time, plus I don't want to miss Kyouka – if I take too long she might go out before I get there. Perhaps some other time.”
"Very well." Shintaro nods, and scribbles the address for her. "Oh, before you go, I'll need ya both to drink this."
Jian smiled at the little spider. He didn't know if he should use his sword against her, he didn't want to hurt her too badly. He opted for hand-to-hand for now. With a flourish Jian took a Tai Chi stance, gathering his Qi and the strength granted to him by Priya, 'I promise you will see the sun again today if I become your master. Let's be quick about it then before your master catches wind of it.'
Two vines spring out of the words, headed for his arms, as Koko jumps at him, claws outstretched for a swipe.
"Good, eat, drink. Now you're strangers, but when the time comes. The stranger in front of you may just save your life!" Kyouka exclaimed, before walking to Santo. "Good job with the renovations. If you can think of a way to add a bath in this place, I'll double your pay for the month." She said with grin, "Anyway, Ujo! Grugga! Take some men with you to our new temple. Have them relieve the people there, and send them here so they can rest. Search the place, clean it up, and see if those idiots left anything good." She ordered with a grin, "Do a good job, and we'll have a dojo all to ourselves. Oh, and don't touch the barrels in the zen garden, unless you want a closer look at what happened in that factory." She then looks at Manuel, "So, want to join them, or shall we discuss business. Privately?"
Jian danced out of the way of Koko's leap. He grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder across the chamber, before he attempted to cut through the vines with his Qi-infused palms.
Midori raised an eyebrow. “I mean no disrespect, my lord, but I get very suspicious when I hear someone say 'you need to drink this' and similar things. Nine times out of ten the drink turns out to be drugged, much to the dismay of the pretty young woman foolish enough to fall for such a trick.” She pointed out. “Ah, but I'm sure a respectable lord such as yourself is better than that and I am just being paranoid. Right?” She gave Shintaro and the woman questioning looks, not moving to drink anything just yet.
Santo smirks, Ujo nods, Grugga groans, and Manuel gives a lascivious grin. "That's up to you, my dear, though I think you can guess which I prefer."
Koko gives a shriek as she slams against the wall. Jian slices through one, and sends the other reeling back. Getting into the fight, Koko gives an eager smirk, rushing forwards to atttack with an incredibly fast flurry of claw strikes.
Jian stepped backwards, avoiding Koko's strikes as he tried to find a pattern in her strikes. His hands snapped forward to grab her wrists, his foot stepping forward behind hers, sweeping her legs out from under her and wrestling her to the ground.
The young woman nods. "Of course, we understand the concern, but I assure you that this won't harm you. In fact, it's for your own safety, though more for Kyouka's." She takes the flask from Shintaro's hand and takes a swig, her beautiful face contracting into an expression of distrust. "Oh my... I lied, it will harm you. It's disgusting." Shintaro chuckles, and the woman hands the flask to him. "Your turn, father." Shintaro takes a long gulp, before holding it out to Midori. "Well? I swear it isn't drugged. Drinking is the price for Kyouka's address."
"Very well." Kyouka grins, leading Manuel up to her room. She enters first, taking off her breastplate as she waits for him to follow.
She falls, with him on top of her. "Eeeek!" He sees that she's blushing furiously, before the vine wraps around his leg and begins pulling him back.
Jian let go of Koko for a moment, as he swung around to the vine. He grabbed it and snapped it before it could drag him further. He turned around to Koko again, ready to defend against her attack.
"Mmh." Kyouka moans as his hands touch her soft body, "Indeed it is. I do hope you can satisfy me. I'd hate to lose someone so skilled in battle." She whispered into his ear as she lays down her bed.
Jian held Koko down with his enhanced strength, chuckling but his expression a bit pained from her attack on his arm, 'What counts as defeating you? Do I need to knock you out?'
“And you can't just tell me what's inside the flask, because...?” Midori asked as she took the flask, a little annoyed by the pair's game. He said I have to drink, but did not specify how much, so... She mentally shrugged and brought the flask to her lips, then pretended to take a swig, but in reality drank only a little bit. Then she returned the flask to the lord.
He moves atop her, unzipping and pulling away her bodysuit. "Oh, that won't be a problem, my dear." He pins her down, licking and biting at her nipples.
