The girls would be kept waiting for about fifteen minutes or so before the door opens, and Madame Naoki steps into the room. On this occasion, she would seem to be wearing a relatively simple sort of pinkish red blouse with peplum, and black trousers. After making sure that the door closes firmly behind her, Naoki saunters her way over to the seating area and seats herself across from the other women. “Hello Jun, hello Arya. I apologize for the delay, I was in a meeting. How are you both doing?”

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun's light constructs disappeared. The results of which construct won were inconclusive.
She didn't sit up instantaneously. There was a flash of intensity in her eyes. However, it was very brief and there was little resulting change in the rest of her countenance. She lazily got up and sat straight, and folded her arms.
"I'm alright. Arya has a proposition for you and I'd like to join her with it."
That was all she said. She didn't feel like saying anything else. Instead she just looked at Arya expectantly with a face lacking any warmth.

Age: 21
Physical Description: *Physical Description*
Arya stands at about 5'10, with an athletic build composed of lean yet strong muscle due to rigorous training in plate armor most of the time. Arya has pure white hair that tumbles down to just above the small of her back in flowing waves.
Her face holds soft features, which seem welcoming to any who look upon them. Her eyes, which are a ruby red color, always seem to hold a friendly, welcoming glint.
***
Clothes and Equipment: *Clothes and Equipment*
In combat, Arya will almost always be wearing a high quality plate armor made of white plate accented in black. The armor was made to fit the user and is more form fitting than plate armor of a lower quality, which makes it hug her features a bit, while also allowing a freer range of movement. On top of this, the armor is also enchanted, which lends it additional strength in the form of various wards placed upon it. With the armor, Arya also usually has a dark navy blue cape that is enchanted to protect her from the elements that may affect a user wearing full plate normally.
Arya's sword, which she carries at all times, appears to be made out of pure gold and is ornately crafted, though in truth it is only golden in color. The blade seems to always gleam with holy energy. The source of the blade's holy energy seems to flow directly from Arya's soul, the blade and its wielder's soul linked by a powerful bond. The golden metal sword is so much a part of Arya that she can easily cast holy magic or light magic through it as she fights with it, and if one were to hold the blade, it would surrender everything of Arya's being to that person, including every memory, thought, and emotion she had ever experienced and is experiencing at the time. If the sword, which is nigh indestructible, is destroyed, however, Arya would die.
At other times, she wears more mundane clothing, though it typically consists of a cloak that is a dark navy blue, similar to her cape while she is wearing her armor that is also enchanted to protect it's wearer a bit. For the most part, she summons most of her equipment through the use of light magic, except for her sword.

Arya would spend the fifteen minutes thinking about what exactly she was going to say. After all, she had just formulated this idea when war was declared less than an hour ago. She did have some ideas, though.
Once Arya heard Naoki coming in through the door, her eyes would slide open, previously closed as she was in a meditative state in the silence that fell upon the room, a silence that the Paladin welcomed in these troubling times.
"I have been doing fine, for the most part," Arya began, "Though I didn't expect to come back to Isra right as you were declaring war on Goraia. I trust that you attempted the diplomatic route first... and that this was the last option. Still, it is unfortunate that things have come to this," Arya said a bit sadly.
"I know I probably can't change things, forces much bigger than I am have already been set into motion, but I want to do something at least. So I plan to organize and lead a sort of humanitarian organization, tasked with reducing the number of casualties sustained by both sides as much as possible."

Listening, Naoki raises an eyebrow in Jun’s direction but does nothing further. She’s doing that bit where she’s being melodramatic, and Naoki feels it better to leave her be than to bring it up and possibly initiate a conflict.
Turning her attention to Arya, Naoki nods solemnly in agreement- it is a shame, yes, certainly- she doesn't need to be told that. However, as Arya's plan is mentioned, Naoki quirks one eyebrow upward and tilts her head to one side- apparently somewhat puzzled.
“Alright.” Naoki gives Arya the benefit of the doubt, “… And how do you intend to do that?”

Arya would nod slightly, "Well to do this I am gonna need some help, some personnel skilled in magical healing, along with those skilled in more conventional methods. I do not think even then there would be enough people who can use healing magic to heal all of the injured immediately as those are quite rare, and they will need to spread out their energy across a lot of the injured. This would mean that most wouldn't be able to be healed completely - only enough to where they could survive. So we would also need to be supplied resources to sustain natural healing and to set up some field hospitals preferably as close to the fighting as possible while remaining safe."
Arya would pause for a moment, hopefully that was good enough, though she realized she sort of went off on a tangent a bit, "I also would like to extend this service to soldiers of Goraia who are injured, should they be left behind by their own healers. So to wrap things up before I get too carried away, I just need the backing of someone with more resources than me to set this up. If that is not you, then perhaps you could direct me in the right direction towards someone who can."

Nodding a bit in acknowledgment, Naoki listens and contemplates her response for a moment before speaking.
“Well. … Isra has those resources. Healing magic isn’t quite as rare as all that, among mages. I think that in reading a report last month, about seventy percent of all the mages of The Conjunction are competent in some form of healing magic, and a fair number have specialized into it. I’ve heard that basic healing magic a fairly easy and practical thing, so I can see why.”
“But the thing about that is that I’m already trying to minimize loss of life.”
Here, she pauses, fixing Arya with a somewhat flat look before continuing, “This war has been in the making for months. I’ve already scoured Isra for any and all who are willing to utilize their skills of healing- magical or not, to assist the wounded. Some were willing to go directly into battle, and are actually enlisted with some of the legions. They wear green armbands to distinguish themselves. Other individuals were not willing to risk their own lives, and have joined the Medical Brigade, which is part of the greater Logistical Sustainment Corps.”
“So, you’re going to have some difficulties if you intend to run around Isra to recruit for your organization, and I’m not willing to reallocate any of the Medical Brigade to your command. Most of them wouldn’t be exceptionally thrilled to be ordered to heal soldiers that- after being healed, fully intend to get back up and go run an Isran soldier through. Some of whom may be friends of relatives of the healers in question.”
“Beyond that, it also seems somewhat counterintuitive to me… If you hypothetically have enough resources to heal both parties in an engagement and allow each of them to get up and go stab the other party until they end up back in your hospital, you would just be prolonging the engagement. … I could see it if you were going to charge the soldiers- because that would be business, but then that sort of defeats the purpose of a humanitarian organization.”
“As another thing… if you do do that- heal Goraian soldiers and allow them to get back up and continue fighting, you would become a target.” Tilting her head downward, Naoki fixes Arya with a sober, humorless look, intending to convey that she is not being facetious at all.
“However!” she cuts in before a response can begin, “Allow me to state this, to clue you in, as it were. … This isn’t a war against Goraia or the people in it. It isn’t a war against the people of Medan or even the Goraian army. You may call me a politician for saying this, but this is liberation. Ideally, the only individuals who would even be so much as captured are the high-ranking figures of the Goraian government- those who have ordered the atrocities to happen.”
“Because the people- they’re not bad people. It hasn’t been very long. Most of the people, most of their soldiers, don’t believe in it- believe in the state. They don’t have any loyalty to the government or their superiors. They’re fighting because if they don’t fight, they’ll be imprisoned, tortured, killed, or whatever else.”
“As such, this war, this liberation, this endeavor won’t be nearly as difficult as it would be otherwise. The soldier to fear is the one who defends their homeland to their last breath, because if they don’t, their wives, families, and daughters- the things he cares about, will be taken away.”
“Also to be feared is the he who seeks vengeance against those who have already taken what he cares about away, such as the Medanese refugee, but that’s beside the point. What I’m working my way around to is that in orchestrating this war, I’ve given very specific, nonstandard orders. For example, before every battle begins, we will be announcing something to the effect of ‘If you surrender, we will treat you properly.’ And then we will. We will take captives wherever and whenever possible, and will heal them all, regardless. We will make it very easy for defectors, and difficult for their commanding officers. Ideally, this would be a bloodless liberation, but I’m not idealistic enough to believe that. I have done what I can do and will continue to do what can be done to minimize loss of life and damage to Medan, but when one’s opponent makes use of mind magics and threatens their soldiers into fighting, there’s only so much that can be done.”
“So I’ll offer this feedback, and then give you a few suggestions. First of all, I think it would be exceptionally foolish for you to travel into Goraia alone or unarmed, regardless of your intentions, and even more so to take a bunch of non-combatant healers with you. Odds are, based on what I’ve heard, you’ll be enslaved and forced to do as they bid- healing, or comforting the soldiers in other ways.” This is offered in the most serious tone, with a cautioning and concerned look. Even though Naoki isn’t particularly close to Arya, she still wouldn’t like to see her among the rescued sex slaves.
“And, even on the off chance that they allow you to do what you intend without molesting you, you’ll be working in indirect opposition to the goals of my legions, and that’s simply not wise.”
“Furthermore, I don’t think you’ll have much luck trying to organize the sort of thing you’re describing, mostly because all of my human resources are already in play. You’re not really going to find many qualified and willing individuals in Isra. However, if you can assemble the sort of thing you’re suggesting, perhaps by enlisting the aid of Gauldin or The Land Tillers where I have been unable to, I am willing to support you financially out of my own pocket- under the understanding that you’re not going to needlessly prolong the hostilities.”
“Beyond that… It’s a little bit late for this sort of thing. As we speak, scouts have entered Goraia and have begun to relay data. The First Legion and Second Legions have already been deployed, and are en route to their respective destinations. I myself will be departing via teleportation tomorrow morning, and I expect the invasion to begin properly later that day.”
Offering a small sort of shrug, she continues, “So, I think you’ve got a few options. Firstly, you could go try to petition some other nation or a private organization to provide the healers you need. If you do, I’ll see to it that you get the other things you need, and are assisted however possible. Secondly, you could simply come with me tomorrow, and practice your healing individually, on the spot, with the healers I already have. Doing that would probably offer you the most opportunities to save lives, including those of the captives we take. Thirdly, you could also go join up with the Medical Brigade as they come along behind the legions, and fix up soldiers that are sent back, and see to it that the captives we take are treated well and kept in good health. To be completely frank with you, the current manager of the Medical Brigade is a bit of an idiot, and I don’t need to justify staffing decisions to anyone.” A not-particularly-subtle offer.
With this monolog delivered, Naoki supposes that she should probably stop, and does, leaning back somewhat in her seat, and crossing her arms under her chest.

Arya would listen intently as Naoki spoke, nodding occasionally to indicate she was listening as it was quite a long dialogue. Arya frowned slightly as she realized perhaps her plan was not the greatest. Perhaps this was to be expected, though, she hadn't really had much time to put thought into this and it was quite a knee-jerk reaction. However... she still had options from what Naoki was telling her.
It seemed like joining what was already established seemed like the best way Arya could help people after all, rather than trying to throw together something haphazardly. Also, she did not think about what would happen after she healed Goraian soldiers, perhaps she did give them too much credit.
She did trust Naoki though, so she would listen to her advice, "Ok... if that is how I will help the most I will come with you tomorrow then."
There, the decision was made by Arya, and when she decided on something she stuck to it.

Well that was fast.
Jun surmised that High Lady Naoki, practical as she was, would successfully talk Arya out of anything that didn't fit into her master plan. Of course, Naoki wasn't wrong. If the Isranian forces did as Naoki said they would, then siding with her own medical corp was the logical choice. With that however, Jun's hopes of even pretending to be neutral were dashed to pieces.
She listened carefully to Naoki, counting the seconds until Arya changed her mind. She sighed. She was still a little disappointed.
"I am not gonna lie. I was really looking forward to being a part of a humanitarian organization. I'm positive I could have convinced my government to lend Arya the support she would need. However, you brought up a lot of good points. The best way to save lives is to make sure the war progresses as quickly and smoothly as possible. And the truth is, I can't pretend to be neutral. Lady Camilla is my friend, and she and her people deserve justice. Lady Naoki, I've known you long enough to know you already have a position in mind for me. I want to help end this war as quickly as possible with minimum lives lost. Is there any way I can be part of the final attack on their government?"
Her voice was solemn, not fiery at all. She sounded like she was asking to help with the logistics of a funeral.

In response to Arya, Naoki nods but raises a finger with the intention to imply that Arya should hold on for just a moment as Naoki rounds on Jun, a question forming on her lips, “Hold on there, Jun. Let me ask you for just a moment… Why are you at all concerned with maintaining neutrality in this situation?”
Though the look in her eyes states very plainly that Naoki has a lot of thoughts on the subject, Naoki does not continue, instead, waiting to see what Jun has to say in defense.

The nearly sharp tone of Naoki's voice roused the critter that had been napping in her cleavage up till now, and when he came fully awake, Fornilan became fully aware of two things: Naoki's emotions were potently unstable, and he could sense two other people nearby. Jun and Arya might notice movement within the bosom of Naoki's blouse moments before two small red-and-white tentacles hooked over the edge of the neckline, allowing the tiny demon to pull himself upward so he could peer at the two unknown females with big black eyes. As soon as he was noticed, a third tentacle appeared, waving to the pair in a friendly manner. Nothing was said, however, as he was waiting to see whether or not he'd need to beat a hasty retreat from two terrified and/or upset women. He could feel the holy energy radiating from them, which made him nervous.

Jun stood up and glared at Lady Naoki. "I'm not neutral! My feelings are just... complicated..." Her voice trailed off as her eyes settled on the octopus-like creature emerging from Naoki's cleavage. She immediately sensed a peculiar, but familiar energy, which reminded her of an old friend.
Sensing its trepidation, she waved back and smiled gently. "Uh, it's ok... we're not going to hurt you... Are you an associate of the Demonlord Maelik?"

Physical Description: *Physical Description*
Arya stands at about 5'10, with an athletic build composed of lean yet strong muscle due to rigorous training in plate armor most of the time. Arya has pure white hair that tumbles down to just above the small of her back in flowing waves.
Her face holds soft features, which seem welcoming to any who look upon them. Her eyes, which are a ruby red color, always seem to hold a friendly, welcoming glint.
***
Clothes and Equipment: *Clothes and Equipment*
In combat, Arya will almost always be wearing a high quality plate armor made of white plate accented in black. The armor was made to fit the user and is more form fitting than plate armor of a lower quality, which makes it hug her features a bit, while also allowing a freer range of movement. On top of this, the armor is also enchanted, which lends it additional strength in the form of various wards placed upon it. With the armor, Arya also usually has a dark navy blue cape that is enchanted to protect her from the elements that may affect a user wearing full plate normally.
Arya's sword, which she carries at all times, appears to be made out of pure gold and is ornately crafted, though in truth it is only golden in color. The blade seems to always gleam with holy energy. The source of the blade's holy energy seems to flow directly from Arya's soul, the blade and its wielder's soul linked by a powerful bond. The golden metal sword is so much a part of Arya that she can easily cast holy magic or light magic through it as she fights with it, and if one were to hold the blade, it would surrender everything of Arya's being to that person, including every memory, thought, and emotion she had ever experienced and is experiencing at the time. If the sword, which is nigh indestructible, is destroyed, however, Arya would die.
At other times, she wears more mundane clothing, though it typically consists of a cloak that is a dark navy blue, similar to her cape while she is wearing her armor that is also enchanted to protect it's wearer a bit. For the most part, she summons most of her equipment through the use of light magic, except for her sword.

Arya's eyebrows raised slightly in surprise when she spotted Fornilian emerging from Naoki's shirt. Arya could immediately sense the presence of a demonic being, now that she was paying attention to it. This aura was not very evil feeling per se, instead, it felt like an entirely different emotion one she had felt only once before when she was at the Chalet. Those memories suddenly reminded her, she didn't see Artemis around anywhere, and she was always with Naoki.
For now, Arya would wave at Fornilian offering a small smile, "Hello, you're a cute lil bugger aren't ya?"
He was surprisingly cute for a demon, Arya mused. She didn't instantly think all demons were evil when she first met them now, a lesson taught to her by Maelik.

Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.

Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Realizing that she woke Forni, Naoki takes a half moment as Jun and Arya are addressing him to calm herself and collect her thoughts before responding to Jun, “I’ll just offer this, and leave this matter at that. … If your friends don’t take kindly to you taking up arms against things that you find condemnable, perhaps they’re not the right friends to have.”
As stated, Naoki leaves it at that, folding her hands in her lap and leaning back a bit in her seat, offering Forni a better vantage from which to peer. There’s no need to convince Jun, and Naoki would rather not escalate the situation needlessly. Besides, she’d much rather discuss Forni. He’s an excellent topic.

Oh, good. It seemed they weren't going to try and smite him. This encouraged little Fornilan, who pushed himself a little further up from the comfy valley of Naoki's bosom, revealing the entirety of his cute little face, which was smiling at the pair of women. He loved the ladies! And these two were pretty cute. He blinked owlishly at Jun, then chirped in his nearly-androgynous voice.
"Nope! I've never met Lord Maelik, though I've heard about him. I'm actually a subject of the Demonlady of Lust."
His attention shifted to Arya as she called him cute, and the little tentacle demon puffed up visibly, uttering a quiet trill of delight.
"I suppose I am! Who are you two? My name's Fornilan, but you can call me Forni!"
His little body twisted about a bit, allowing him to look up at Naoki with a seemingly pleased expression.
"Mistress, your friends are so nice! And very pretty!"

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun's gaze blankly shifted towards Naoki. "Yah... we'll leave it at that."
Truthfully Jun was happy to put the tension behind them. She smirked and folded her arms.
"Of course Lady Naoki would be associated with the Demonlady of Lust." This absolutely did not surprise her in the least. She stepped forward and, with considerable amusement, reached precariously close to Naoki's cleavage to shake the little creature's front tentacle. "My name is Jun. I'm a friend of Lady Naoki's. Don't be scared. I know you can sense holy energy around me but I'm not gonna hurt you. In fact, I earned my virtue of kindness by showing compassion towards Lord Maelik. One of my best friends is a giant crow from the demon realm."
Jun's hand slipped and she gave a very odd look to both Fornilan and Naoki. It was a mix of trepidation, kindness, and audacity, an almost stupid, gaping grin if not for a certain purposefulness to it.
"My uh... ability to show kindness to those I'm supposed to hate is a point of pride... actually."

"Forni, eh?" Arya smirked a bit, "Well I can't say that name is anything but appropriate." And she would leave that implication at that.
"I'm Arya! Nice to meet you Forni," Arya herself would follow Jun's lead as far as introductory handshakes went, or in this case tentacle shake?
"I am also friends with Maelik... though we started off on the wrong foot a bit. Things are just fine between us now," Arya would at this point remember her previous question, and now focus back upon Naoki,
"Oh... I've been meaning to ask, where is Artemis? She is usually always with you," there was a slight hint of concern in Arya's voice as she asked, Artemis almost never left Naoki's side.

Listening to Jun and Arya’s comments, Naoki smirks slightly. She finds it somewhat amusing that these two, the original holy duo, what with all of their chastity seals, affinities with heavenly powers and whatnot, have nothing but compliments, handshakes, and implicative comments for Forni.
She wonders whether this says more about the girls or Forni.
After the pair of them have finished with what they have to say and with shaking Forni’s tentacle, Naoki glances downward, smirking slightly and somewhat pleased with how things are proceeding. However, before she can offer a comment of her own, to applaud Forni for his apparent skill in regards to women, Arya launches a question, and it has the effect of pulling a metaphorical curtain over Naoki’s demeanor. The smirk fades instantly and her gaze glazes over, becoming somewhat blank.
After a moment like this in silence, Naoki drags her head back up to level that blank sort of gaze at Arya, eyeing her with the sort of look one gives a distant friend or relative when you’ve not spoken with them in a while and they ask about your pet, which died three years previously, or about a family member that has been exceptionally sick and you’re trying not to consider the matter because thinking about it is painful, but there they go, asking about it.
“She’s not well. … Hasn’t been well. Bedridden. Staying at the Chalet.” This, Naoki offers in her blandest, most monotone voice, and her expression matches. Beyond this, she does not elaborate further, instead simply sitting there, looking back at Arya.

Forni uttered another delighted trill as Jun and Arya both offered greetings, and a tiny tentacle curled around their fingers to return the 'handshake'. It amazed him that such beings of holy power could be so nice to him! Before he could embark on further conversation with the two ladies, however, Arya asked a question that made Naoki quite unhappy. As a being sensitive to the emotions of those around him (mostly so that he could find a way to turn them toward lustful pursuits and get himself fed), this impacted Forni quite hard. His eyes rounded, making it look like his face was mostly eyes, and he began to nuzzle into Naoki's chest with a quiet purr-like noise that was meant to be comforting. He was also subtly groping her beneath the fabric of her top, because that was usually a sure-fire way to cheer her up.

Arya only had to watch Naoki's current content demeanor drain from her face to know the answer to her question. Something had happened to Artemis and this would only make Arya worry even more, to the point where she had thought for a couple brief moments that the bodyguard had actually died or something. She knew how close Naoki and Artemis were. The answer Naoki gave did not relieve too much of this worry either.
Arya also did not want to broach any further into the subject, given how upset it seemed to make Naoki, also something she did not want to do, so instead of inquiring further she resolved to perhaps visit Artemis sometime soon.
"I am sorry to hear that..." Arya murmured, somewhat unsure what to do or say at that exact moment with Naoki staring her down awkwardly. She had almost tacked on the usual 'hope they get better soon' to the end of that statement, though she figured this would only make matters worse. What if she wasn't getting better? Arya would also fall silent, not sure how to start up conversation again after that blunder.

"I see." Jun said sympathetically concerning Artemis. Even though they had only briefly met in the past, Jun understood the bond between the pair. Indeed, she hoped Artemis would recover from whatever was ailing her.
That was assuming what Naoki had said about her was accurate.
In any case the appropriate response was likely to drop the subject, and so once again Jun turned her attention to the octopus-like creature currently groping her boss' cleavage.
"So, Forni..." She leaned in to pet the back of the creature's head with one finger (once again bringing her precariously within range of Naoki's bosom), "What exactly do you do, exactly?" She was tempted to say something about living in an aquarium but decided against it.
