[Oh my god.

Ren is the first person to get this icon in this game, because Red is absolutely losing her shit at that.]

[le_mat]

[From his place on the floor, in classic Yamcha Pose:]

I'll have you know, in my head I nailed that. You were very impressed.

[backspacing]

Was I now?

[God you're such a fucking charmer Red. You're quickly becoming her favorite.]

[le_mat]

Mhmm, you clapped and everything.

[backspacing]

It certainly was a stirring performance.

Do you need to borrow some of my perfume now?

[le_mat]

Ugh, I might need to. I smell weird- I've showered twice already and it just keeps coming back.

[he stands up with a groan and comes over.]

No wonder Natsume hid this, it's nasty.

[backspacing]

Come take your pick.

[She's bringing out her perfumes from behind her Secret Screen.

Spoilers they're all fancy lady perfumes, so like. Chanel and shit like that. Red has expensive tastes.]

You might have better luck if you try not using your powers too.

[le_mat]

Holy shit, some of these probably cost more than my phone!

[he picks out something subtle. And gives Red a sly look]

Were some of these special deliveries?

[backspacing]

You would be surprised how far your paycheck goes when you're not paying for room, board, or utilities.

[:)]

But yes, some of them were special delivery gifts.

[le_mat]

Heh. Well, I can't judge. Being able to buy a girl nice things is the best.

[He lightly dabs the perfume on his wrists, then rubs his pulse points with said wrists]

There. Do I smell slightly less like a sweaty first year that just finished getting a feel in a cheap popcorn filled movie theatre?

[backspacing]

You smell like a sweaty first year who worked the late shift at the concert hall and got to meet the star singer backstage when he was finishing up his cleaning duties.

[le_mat]

...I'll call that an upgrade.

[backspacing]

It is very much an upgrade, especially after you snuck into the concert hall when you weren't supposed to be there.

[She still remembers that, fucko.]

[le_mat]

Hmm~ But the struggle makes the reward all the sweeter, right?

[backspacing]

[God you little shit.

It's a good thing you're so high on her CR chart or else she'd just laugh.]

Oh, so it's a reward you're after?

[le_mat]

I'm always after Treasure.

[he laughs]

Don't worry, I know when someone's out of my pay grade. Plus a certain someone already shot one sword at me.

[backspacing]

He is a bit protective like that. After a certain incident a few years ago, he's been a bit testy about me being around campers. Especially ones like you.

[That said, she'll motion for him to come closer.]

[le_mat]

[Something tense flickers over his eyes - he's not ready to talk about Akechi yet. But he knows, now. Still, he steps closer, too curious not to]

[backspacing]

[For being a brave shithead who is daring enough to flirt with an older lady when she's clearly taken by someone who will kick Ren's ass 10 ways from Sunday, Ren has earned a kiss on the cheek.]

Don't let the reward go to your head too much.

[le_mat]

[Ren turns bright pink and touches the spot. Ah...]

Ah... I'll try not to?

But-! I... I actually- I came down here for a reason-!

[backspacing]

You mean besides sliding around on the floor and making a mess?

[Because that sure did happen.]

What can I do for you, then?

[le_mat]

Hush.

[He takes out Natsume's deck and puts it on her desk.]

I did readings for a few people already. Want one?

[backspacing]

[Oh! She's seen tarot before.]

If you would like to, sure.

[le_mat]

[He settles in, shuffling the deck, and then cutting it.]

I'm gonna do a Past, Present and Future spread. Pretty simple.

[backspacing]

Sounds simple enough.

[She doesn't expect it to be particularly meaningful, she's a bit of a skeptic. But she'll still humor Ren's attempts.]
