*Has had another idea regarding Shuuei's isolation thing* And one she's far more likely to accept, too.

>You know that she is a youkai that lives underground and runs one of the many many taverns in the Ancient City. You vaguely that she was sealed away for being a pain to humans in the bad old days, and that she is able to change shapes to some degree.

I will place my arms and hands in the proper positions behind you, and when I nudge you with them, you should relax backward into them. I will scoop them toward you while swinging them so your legs will be brought upward and you will be sort of lying on your back, held in front of me. does this sound acceptable?"

>You pick her up. She stiffens a bit at first, then relaxes as you instructed her to; at least enough that she can be scooped up. She then tenses again, you're not sure how much of that is just from being touched and how much is from anticipation of being lifted into the air.

Stop flirting with Shuuei, this is an Iku x Tenshi fic!

True affection is not bound by such foolish notions as monogamy.

Damn, I really need to catch up: I was thinking this was still a Iku x Petite adventure.

It's actually still Iku x Sanae. What short-term memories you all have.
