“Watch what I say—” Colonello is not even sure what he had said to inflict her. Was it because he had done stupid things and asked for a large sum from her? But he is pretty sure that he had done worse things than this in the past, and they certainly did not deem such reaction from her. If anything, she would just plant his head in the ground.

But he nods anyway, glad that she was allowing him to help, and even offered to explain. Right, where no one would take advantage — he would not want that to happen at all. Nor would he want to take advantage of it either, since she seems to trust him enough.

“I’ll just…keep my mouth shut first, kora,” he offers himself, as he gets on one knee and tugs her arm over his shoulders, resting a hand on her side to pull her up to her feet. He is glad that they are not far from her place too, since his plan had been to visit her there, so they would arrive in no time with him supporting her all the way.

And all the while, he thinks about what he is going to do once they are alone in her house, because…he is not sure how long he can restrain himself for.

 —— ;;  She was glad that it seemed like he was
slowly understanding this more and more. Good.
It meant that she didn’t have to – well have this
be more complicated. Lal knew she could of avoided
him, simply turned around and left the scene after
telling him – but part of her was kinda glad that she
didn’t. One, it’d bring more suspicion and two – she
had a feeling he’d sneak into her house regardless
of what she did or not. He was prone to that.

The words that came out of his mouth next surprised
her a little. He … was willing to keep his mouth shut?
Really? On a normal day she couldn’t get him to shut
up but now – now he decided he would do so on his own?
This weirded her out just a little, but given her circumstance
she really appreciated it as well. Within moments she feels
her arm be wrapped around his shoulder and his hand resting
on her side — the action itself earned a shiver due to her body
feeling sensitive because of what had happened.

His touch be it through the clothing didn’t feel bad, it felt nice
as far as her body was concerned. Her mind on the other hand
was quite embarrassed. Soon enough the two of them headed
towards her place in silence as well even if she wanted to say
something she .. really didn’t know what to say. Tell him about
it? They were still in public. Ask him about his day? Seemed odd
of her to do. So she remained silent aside from a small,

       ” I’m sorry for making you help me. I must be heavy“.

  As the ravenette did not find herself as light as a feather.
She had muscle from years of training so she was sure that
contributed into having to hold her up. The walk itself took
shorter time then she expected upon seeing the door in view
then glanced over towards him, then made a move to move
her arm from his hold, her legs having some sort of balance
to them. Despite her probably going to walk a little funny but
she merely made an,

    ” I’ll be okay for now, thanks“.

Before fishing her keys out of her pocket and unlocking the door.
Turning and opening she slowly made her way towards the living
room – her legs doing this awkward sort of walk to them to show
they really weren’t fully there in feeling. Then sat herself down
onto the couch and looked at him. She could change panties
later, as she was sure he wanted to know what was wrong asap.

    ” Alright. I am going to make this brief and to the point“.

She started, as really most of her manner of speaking was
like this, but he needed to know and this was the best way.

     ” I get a reaction ever time a trigger word is used. I
am sure you know what sort of reaction it is..“.

Cue a flush, but continued.

    ” The word happens to be..“.

She wasn’t going to say it, yet instead she took a pen off
the coffee table and wrote the word ’ N O ’ in large letters
then showed him.

    ” That is the word, and if you tell a soul about this.
I will make sure your brain forgets this and me“.

Lal threatened, you know just in case he thought telling
anyone else was a good idea.</sub>
