>Perhaps she thinks she'd need reminding, if our positions were reversed?
>"I'll do my best."
>Give Rin another quick kiss. It's... kind of fun, making her blush, actually.
>Then let's head off for the Iron Rings. We do still have business to take care of, after all.
>Reisen shoots you a quiet grin.
I'd buy that.>So this is why Marissa teases folks so often, you muse as you kiss your Rin once again. Perhaps because she was prepared this time, she does not, somewhat disappointingly, blush deeper. She does, however, return you a look of pure adoration in her deep red eyes, a look that threatens to steal your breath away.
>Right, right. Can't get distracted. Fun distractions or no.
>Taking Rin's hand in yours, the two of you part ways from your friends, Reisen heading back up the road, Lily heading up into the air, and you and Rin heading north, towards the home and business of Kanako and Suwako.
>After about a minute or so, you see the cause of the sirens. A motorcyclist clad in black and gold leather is weaving his way through the traffic on the streets, being pursued by a pair of bike cops, who themselves are being followed by a couple of police cars. The larger vehicles are having obvious difficulty maintaining the chase in the city traffic, but the two bikers chasing the lead have no such difficulty.
>Briefly, you ponder the merits of aiding the officers in taking down the biker, and although morally you want to come to their aid, there are plenty more reasons not to. This seems to be an entirely mundane pursuit, and your powers are geared towards dealing with matters supernatural. Too, there's too great a possibility that you might end up doing more harm than good. If the driver reacts to one of your spells with an injudicious turn, he could crash through a storefront, or run down any number of pedestrians. You're not trained to handle these sorts of problems, and you know it. Maybe one day.... But not today. Terrestrial law enforcement can handle terrestrial matters. The problems you're trying to solve lie elsewhere.
>Rin, ever loyal, doesn't ask why you don't try to do anything about the police chase. She simply notes that you seem content to led the cops handle things as they are trained to do, and continues on with you. She does, however, say, "Ever wonder, Mistress, what we could do with these gifts o'ours once the, uh, hard part's over?"
