[her eyes glint a little as she doesn't break eye contact at that, taking the invitation to rake her skin harder]

Oh...? You don't mind a little pain either?

[heirbrained]

[no!! this can't be happening!!!

his grip on Nio's arm tightens—with enough force that it's also a little painful, really, although it's incidental—and his eyes narrow, calculating]

[rusemaster]

Just a little, anyway.

[smiling over at Togami, problem????]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

That's to your advantage as well...

[She says, as if making a mental tally, and glances sideways at Togami herself]

[heirbrained]

...

[after a beat, he just puts an arm around Erika's waist, yanking her into his lap, before letting go of Nio and shifting his arms to restrain Erika more fully, covering her mouth with his hand]

Nevertheless, I don't intend to allow you to win the competition.

[rusemaster]

[making a small surprised sound as it happens, before frowning, looking a little put out]

You're awfully rough with your master, Togami-san...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[she also squeaks a little as she's pulled over, eyes widening, though after she realizes what he's doing she just giggles, muffled into his hand]

[heirbrained]

Perhaps if she wasn't going out of her way to indulge in my competition I wouldn't find it necessary. You can do whatever you want when the time limit expires. So what will you do now...?

[he still isn't relaxing his grip on Erika yet.]

[rusemaster]

... What should I do, indeed...

[after a moment's thought, slipping over the bed towards Togami's bed where he left his clothes, picking his tie from the pile]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[raises her eyebrows, and shifts to grip Togami's wrist, though she doesn't try to pull his hand away at the moment]

[heirbrained]

[he loosens his grip, but also doesn't try to pull his hand away at the moment.

more importantly, he is distracted by what are you doing over there Nio I'm keeping a close watch on you]

[rusemaster]

[comes back to the other bed, just setting it down next to where she sits. ~who knows ~]

So, not feelin' like sharing, huh?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[smiles a little, against his hand]

[heirbrained]

I didn't say that...

[well. it's not untrue. but:]

I'm the one who proposed we do this in the first place.

[rusemaster]

You say that, but you're holding on pretty tightly there.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[touches Togami's arm around her waist too, to demonstrate]

[heirbrained]

[...ROLLING HIS EYES!! and relaxing his grip so he's only loosely holding onto her, dropping his hand from her mouth]

It was only temporary.

[rusemaster]

Then you don't mind if I do whatever I want?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I might have objections on this end, but I'm interested to see what you'll do, first.

[heirbrained]

Of course I'm not going to let you do whatever you want! But I will not completely prevent you from taking action.

[rusemaster]

[to Erika]

Well, naturally. You're the boss~.

[and then to Togami]

Wow, that's generous of you.

[and trying to pull Erika out of his lap]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[squeaks a little in surprise again, but actually helps out with that, tugging Togami's arm off her and moving with her]

[heirbrained]

[HISS. but. ok. he crosses his arms again once she's dragged off of his lap, just reflexively, keeping an eye on them]

[rusemaster]

[her hands go to the back of Erika's dress, trying to unfasten it from the top]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[helpfully leans forward to allow that, tracing the tattoo on Nio's bare chest with her hands again]
