“Are you really only a genin Rin? If so then I suppose Kohana doesn’t have a good eye for talent.” said Alkaid trying to fluff his ego a bit. “Maybe you should move to Kiri instead, I’m sure you’d make Jounin in no time.” she said half jokingly. The idea of actually adding him to family for real and creating a reverse harem with her at the center was amusing but impractical.
“When did I become so twisted?” Alkaid thought to herself wondering where the pure girl of the past had gone. The hot to trot ploy she often employed was supposed to be nothing but an act. Yet while she had never actually slept with anyone other then her cousin and lover Tsubaki she found herself gradually becoming genuinely attracted to some of her marks. Kiri ninja where known for their bloodlust but it was almost like the emphasis was on lust itself rather then the blood when it came to her.
For a moment as Rin talked about her needing to speak with the council to set up shop in his town she was worried her flirting had flown straight over his head. She’d been about as subtle as a bag of hammers, trying to suggest she more out looking for a marriage partner then a one time fling. She wanted to make it seem at least on the surface that she was actually serious about him and that this wasn’t just some practical joke at his expense.
Thankfully he had gotten the memo after all as he basically replied that he too was in the market for a wive and that she was a prime candidate. Now the long con had truly begun. She’d start small by trading silly missions stories with him, something that they could relate and bond over.
“Well at least with a technicality failure you at least accomplished part of your goal. I’ve outright botched at least a couple of missions in my time.” Alkaid admitted wondering which one she could tell him about. Certainly not one of the two murder mysteries she’s tired and failed to completely solve . She’d have to come up with something more humorous.
Taking the arm that had been offered, Alkaid thought briefly about pressing it to her chest so that Rin could get a more direct feel of what she had to offer but decided against it. If she was too forward it might come off as desperate. “After you.” She said with a warm grim as he lead them towards the gardens.
