[Unsurprisingly, he leans into that movement and maybe someday Tamamo might catch on that despite his brusqueness in a manner of things he's also somewhat starved for affection of any kind. It's been a very long year, after all.]
If you're sure. [But he sounds relieved. ] Then...we'll use each other to stay in the game. Everyone else will be a bonus for benefits, information, and protection. Can we agree on that?
[Her hand stills, then remains where it is, half-cupped against his cheek. Some of her gentleness seeps back through the cracks of her discontent. It annoys her a little now, that he has that effect on her, but she supposes she never would have agreed to the pact if he could not reach her core in some way.]
-- Though I warn you, Master~ if you're that bad in bed, I might ditch you for someone else. ♥
[Likewise he doesn't push her away, but he doesn't take more than she's willing to give him either. It's a partnership, and even though he's still learning about her, he knows enough to accept things for how they are. It's probably easier that way anyway.
But there's a nervous laugh because, haha, fuck.]
So what you're saying is no pressure at all. Got it.
[And then she just. Lunges at him. Which sounds a lot more sexy than it actually is, given she practically bodyslams this poor fool into the mattress for a second time. Her tails are wagging behind her. It's unfortunate.]
Mikon! How lucky you are to partake in the bodily pleasures with someone like me~!
[Oh my god. He's immediately knocked over again and there are fox tails and everything is a lot?! But like. His hand goes to her waist to hold her steady as he blinks up at her.]
I can hardly believe it myself. [It's like kind of sarcastic but he's grinning a little anyway because it's Tamamo. This is endearing and also terrifying all at once.] ...I trust you with this. So...stay with me. Okay?
[A week into their contract and he's still trying to make sure she won't smash Betray. Maybe he has issues, it's fine.]
[If he will stay with her remains to be seen -- no, she doesn't want to think on the inevitable and sour her mood again, instead opting to lean her weight on top of him and rest her chin on his clavicle. A moment's trust is still trust, isn't it?
[Promises are such a weird thing. But she can settle on him and when she's close enough he'll turn his head just enough to kind of bump his mouth into the side of her head. It's not quite a kiss, but it's...something.]

[The blade's edge in her voice disappears.]
You are my Master, and I am duty bound to protect and serve you, in any way that will be productive.
[Finally glancing back to him, and staring for a moment. She reaches out and draws a finger against his jaw, eyebrow arching]
If anything, the matter is made much simpler for me. I have a clear way to keep you from harm.

Of course I will, Master. I promised, didn't I?

It'll be alright... Maybe.]

Just making sure.
