[center][h3]Kuroda Daichi[/h3][/center] [hr] [color=f49ac2]"Hey, Cat Man."[/color] As Daichi stood up from his flashy performance, the clicking of high-heeled boots echoed over the steady chatter that filled the hall. The Nocturne turned his head towards the noise only to make eye contact with a creature he wasn't particularly fond of. His expression chilled immediately, his ears standing on end in preparation for whatever Nuna had in store. The expression he wore resembled one of a predator stalking its prey; fierce and ready to strike. [color=ed1c24]"Keep your distance."[/color] Kuroda's eyes flashed white in an intstant before they returned to their original tone. The succubus maintained their respective distance and resumed her soliloquy with sincerity; at least, that's what it sounded like to the over-trusting cat. However, he was not fully convinced that she was making such an offer to [i]"mend their friendship-"[/i] she could have been aiming to lower his defenses again. [color=f49ac2]"...But before you accept anything I would like to offer you back your energy. Please."[/color] What she said sounded genuine, of course. But to undo something as tedious as energy absorption seemed unfeasible to him. Besides, he had not the slightest idea about what methods this succubus would use for such a task. Familiarizing himself with one of these creatures was a big mistake on his part, and he had no intention on messing up twice on the first day. [color=ed1c24]"-'s not possible. How could you give back something like that?"[/color] Daichi crossed his arms over his chest, observing the feminine creature closely for any hints of deception. [color=ed1c24]"I'm not falling for your tricks again, Nuna."[/color] He stated his position firmly, drumming his fingers along his upper arm impatiently.
