[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Arial calling the literally foxy woman Reiner's boyfriend, though...that caused the strange, emphermeral, yet so positively right flutterings in her heart to intensify with triple the impact, causing her to faintly blush in a doopy sort of way. His euthusatic encouragement for her to 'Go for it!' only embolden those feeling within her, causing her to start seriously ponder this warm and fuzzy positivity she felt for her Master. The fox woman didn't quite comprehend what the madman ment by 'boyfriend' , but she had the feeling that it was a romantic, loving sort of relationship, given how suggestive everyone has described her bond with Reiner. There was also the sense of something....deeper within resonating with that notion of her, a smoldering desire within that seemed to reignite every time she was paired up with the draconic man....

'What is that feeling? That warm, cosey, loving.........wait. Could it...could this be love that I hold for my master?' Kyubi though, the eureka moment coming to her in a flaming blast, and knew that this was the answer that she sought. '...Yes, it is. We've only been together for such a short time, and I hardly know a thing about him, but he's done SO much for me, and has always been so kind and caring for me....I feel so STRONGLY for him, like...like we were meant to be together. Like...like he complete me, the other half to my own. But...does he hold the same desires as I do...? How can I find out...? Oh...'

When the eccentric bodyguard left the room and her Master posed that question for her, the fire fox decided then to act on her newly defined feeling, before the moment passed and she loses the chance forever. With deft and gentle hands, Kyubi spins Reiner around, looks deep into his eyes with tender affection, before she lightly presses her lips against yours.

The feeling...it was indescribable.

Kyubi held the kiss for a few seconds, before she timidly draws away and looks bashful for her bold actions. Still, they found it within themselves to muster a response to you, despite how...fluster she was. "I...I do not know, Master. I find myself lacking so many answers, for many, many things. Everything seems so...uncertain and frightening, and I feel I'd be lost without someone their to guide me, to care and...and...mmm. Like you, Reiner. ...Can I ask you something? Do...do...do you love me? Are you my...boyfriend?"

It was startling, but it was also...pleasant.  The last time he'd done this...well, it was one time only.  He didn't talk about it, period.  He didn't even think about it, barely even remembered it before Kyubi managed to bring that memory to the attention of his subconscious, as his time in Blackthorn felt like it had been ages ago...and also...that first kiss hadn't been so pleasant because of what had happened immediately afterwards.  He'd had to bribe Sneasel to not tell Seadra about what had happened, as the feline had been the sole witness, and the whole thing was just downright embarrassing for him to recall...

...as comfortable as this moment was, Reiner just couldn't fully invest himself in it, but he didn't want to spoil it either...

He sighs once Kyubi poses her question.  "Ya see, that's one of the things I need to talk to you about.  I have a few...reservations about using those terms, particularly with actually making good on them.  And it partially has to do with those answers I promised you.  You're a VERY nice woman, Kyubi.  Any man would be lucky to have you.  And one was.  Remember when I said someone cared enough for you to sacrifice himself to bring you back?  It was a rather deep bond you two shared.  Enough for...well, this."

Reiner pulls out Archie's ring and shows it to her.

"Rings are quite the powerful symbols of bonds among humans, if you don't remember.  They're often used to represent the strongest ones.  The engraving on the inside of the band of that ring is a big reason why I'm reluctant to openly intrude, even if you don't entirely remember what that ring symbolizes.  While he and I didn't get along all that well, we both agreed you didn't deserve to die.  I promised him that I would protect and help you as best as I can, and I will honor that promise since it was very easy to tell he genuinely cared for you a great deal.  I didn't need my empathic gift from Mew to figure that out."
