— than anticipated..."

The Tiger shuts his eye, reaching into his inner pocket, just over his breast.

"...Could I ask you to close your eyes for a moment?"
"Mmh.... Something else."

He seemed to catch on rather quick, the Beast's expression changing as though he expected this moment to arrive.

"That shouldn't be an issue, after all...I had planned to offer this up to you eventually. It seems like things might just have progressed faster —
Slams down a stack of bills without a shred of hesitation.

"Too old? That's nonsense. You're more beautiful than ever."

He expressed with a bit of a pout.

"We're still spry...no gray hairs at least. Yet."
-- under the care of the Tiger Clan?"
-- outmatch your parent's home."

He added with a smile. He offered it up as a suggestion, but he was more than willing to simply snatch her away without a second thought.

"...And, if you need an excuse, we can figure out some arrangement. Surely the Feline Clan wouldn't mind their daughter being--
--
"Your parents seem really adamant about bringing you back home...and if they truly think it's what's best for the family..."

His hands quickly gripped hers, squeezing with a soft firmness.

"...Then you'll simply have to make your home here. There's plenty of room, I'd say we might even --
He listened to every word while keeping his eye focused on that reddened face, so clearly wrought with anguish over having to choose between family and her own wishes.

Of course...the thought that first surfaced in his head was something along the lines of 'Take Kiri away? Unacceptable.'

The Tiger leans forward, using that impressive height to now cast shadow over the woman.

"You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"
"I believe that you can."

He replies quite quickly. The Tiger gives her a small glance.

His eye shuts quickly, a twinge of his nose takes in the air...

"Lupine...Canine...something along those lines. It's being carried in the air, the scent of a werewolf...or something along those lines."

"It's hard pretending to be civil."
--

"Or is that perhaps too callous a response, and far too direct for a maiden?"
"What else could possibly bring me here, but to see you yourself?"

He expressed with a glint in his eye. Sizing up quietly, seeing beyond mere surface, down to the soul...

"Namely...I want to know more about what it is that you are, your strengths and limitations."

--
Hey, wait—
Kneading his chest.

"Kiri....?!"

Of course he's immediately concerned for her, a hand on her shoulder as he leaned down to get a better look at her. Brows knitted with concern.

"What happened...?"
—"No one has a stamina like yours. And, once we optimize its energy consumption, we can mass produce it and give the world a miracle of mysticism and science." She concluded.

"So long as it doesn't end up being just another weapon." He gave his addendum, rare for him to be opposite of the optimist.
— a nasty burn like a brand.

"It's completely draining."

He spoke once he was capable of catching his breath. The woman observing him sat at her computer console, observing the fluctuating numbers on the screen.

"Which is why you're the best person to test it on." Dr. Lecia replied.

The rather expensive prototype suit falls like heavy steel onto the ground without much consideration from the man who had just been wearing it.

The steam rises off his body like he's a living nuclear silo. Though the armor itself is a sleek matte black, to touch it would guarantee —
// time to post a starter call I'll never send out starters for.
"Concentrated power created folly and, with it, paranoia.

Realizing your vulnerabilities, becoming distrustful and weary of everyone. Freezing your heart, keeping you awake no matter the time of day or how many days it's been since you've slept...

Until someone takes all those worries away."

-- and yet it was the only time where the two could meet.

'Well...' Takii began to think...

'If I need to grovel, at least the floor is carpeted.'
