"See, that depends on how much you're expecting." Of course, Kairi was only teasing. But then again, if it was what he wanted, she really doubted she could say no, despite all of that guilt she was shoving into a triple-locked safe and away from the surface.
That had been one of her problems before. Even with the advice that Ani had given her about 'if they have conditions you're uncomfortable enough, you have every right to decline their receiving of your services', she found herself unable to quite do that. Of course, she was wary at first about what she got herself involved in, but eventually it got to the point where she'd try anything, just for the sake of trying.
It couldn't have hurt, right?
Okay, so maybe it did a little. But Kairi had had a few gracious clients who paid attention to her when she voiced her discomfort. It was those clients that had always managed to come back for more later, and she hadn't minded.
Still smiling a little, she placed the unnamed kitten on the floor and ushered him to go play with Reine, and he obeyed, cautiously making his way over to the female kitten and batting at her head gently. Kairi looked back at Aloy and grinned. "There. That's taken care of."

And, for once, it was true. It was rare that he visit a girl's place without intending to sleep with her, but coming here, X wasn't even sure he was going to kiss her. It wasn't about what he wanted, not tonight. It was about what she wanted, about what she needed.
Smiling fondly as she handled the cat, he waited patiently, only moving from his kneeling position on the floor back to her side on the couch, face turned towards her and hand reaching up to gently stroke her hair. He murmured quietly again, his voice soft and his tone light, though the meaning behind them serious..
"Your wish is my command, milady."

Kairi found herself wondering why she even questioned that. Had it been anyone else, she would've been surprised. But Aloy... No, she didn't even care what happened or didn't happen. Things wouldn't change much for them; they would still feel the same about each other, maybe a little more, but there probably wasn't much of a chance of them being together. Not with the way things were going. But neither of them could be sure about that direction, not even Ulquiorra.
She leaned into his touch, much like an affectionate cat would, a genuine smile on her face at his words. "Giving me that kind of power over you might not be such a good idea," she teased with a grin.
"Who knows what sort of things I could get you to do. Steal straight from the Vescovo family, go out and severely injure any old clients that did so much as put a bruise on me, get you to stay for a few more hours..." Kairi's voice grew softer, quieter as she continued, a hand reaching up to thread her fingers with his, and she turned her head to kiss his palm. And as much as she might not have wanted to admit it, for Ulquiorra's sake, that last suggestion didn't really sound to bad. Even then, there was no guarantee just what could happen if he did stay. So there wouldn't be any harm, right?
