>"Well what else do you call someone so valuable and beautiful?"

>A curious transformation washes over Kyouko. Her laughter trails off and the bashful grin upon her face slowly gives way to... uncertainty? Astonishment? Her soft green eyes rise to meet your own and seize them, searching for... something.
>You feel your breath catch in your throat. Did those words really come out of your mouth? For a moment, neither of you say anything, then a gentle smile spreads across her face. You think she's blushing a little. You're certain you are.
>"You... really mean that, don't you?" Her voice is uncharacteristically quiet.

>...Oh crap, got carried away there.
>"...Yeah."

>Despite your throat starting to seize up, you manage to squeeze out a reply. Kyouko's eyes never waver from your own, deep and bright and vivid; you would feel defenseless beneath them, were her gaze not so gentle and warm. The smile which spreads across her face is gentler still, but somehow that just makes her glow even brighter.
>"That's one of the sweetest things anyone's ever said to me."

>"I cannot believe that..."

>"It's true!" she says. "It means more coming from you, because I know you don't just say that kind of stuff. That makes it special."

>"I'm just some mouse, but I'm glad you said so."

>"You're not 'just some mouse'!" she cries, sounding offended on your behalf. "You're the bravest and cleverest mouse I've ever met! You've stared down giant spiders and sky pirates and crazy flower youkai, found ancient treasures and impossible plants, and you only just graduated a month ago! I think that's pretty amazing! And you're funny and sweet and always have so many great stories to tell; I'm sure I haven't heard half of them."
>"And, most importantly, you've got a big heart." She levels a finger at you. "Don't try to argue otherwise!"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #402 on:** February 17, 2016, 10:46:05 PM »

>This time Kyouko can't suppress her laughter. "So if I said anything now, you'd have to agree to it?"

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #406 on:** February 17, 2016, 11:43:26 PM »

>Kyouko rubs her hands together gleefully as she contemplates this newfound power.
>"Well, in that case," she says, grinning ominously. "Close your eyes. And don't move a muscle!"

>Kyouko laughs again as you close your eyes and hold very still. You hear her move towards you, and then stop; your ears are sharp enough that you're almost certain she isn't doing anything, though you can nearly feel her breath upon you. More seconds pass. Uh.... is she just going to have you-
>And then, without warning, all ten fingers start vigorously tickling your ribs.

>The promise is beyond keeping, but let's try not to flail into Kyouko, it'll be a nice compromise.

>You do your level best not to squirm - honest! - but there's only so much you can manage while she applies herself with such diligence. At least she doesn't seem to mind.
>She is still snickering under her breath by the time she stops. "Well, you were an awfully good sport about that."
