[ He probably isn't helping much with the increasingly frequent verbal feedback. Sighs and groans escape every time she digs into a particularly tight knot, and despite his usual attention to emotions, it seems like he isn't quite as aware as usual. ]
There are plenty of cheaper places, yeah... Mm... But I like this place. It's quiet. I don't have to worry about neighbors waking me up at odd hours.
[ He doesn't have to worry about neighbors at all. When she asks how he knew, he cracks a smirk and peeks up at her again. ]
I'm keeping an eye on how much you drink. If you get drunk again and start licking up and down my back, I don't think that would be very productive...
[ Oh he DEFINITELY wasn't helping, but to her credit she's doing a pretty good job (she thinks) of keeping more risque thoughts from encroaching on the conversation. For now. ... she is revisiting a few areas that she'd already worked on though and not necessarily for pure reasons. *cough* ]
Hmm, that *is* a benefit... although with as nice as this place is I'm kind of surprised there aren't any neighbors around.
[ Moving back to his tensed up shoulders because she IS trying to behave, her hands ..pause slightly at mention of "licking up and down his back". That .. she flushed a bright pink, sputtering for a moment. What a sneak! Uh.. how to respond...
1. Kaito, what a thing to say! I am shocked and apalled! 2. Ahahahahahahaha. 3. I don't think you'd mind it that much if I did though, would you? <- Selection Made. 4. How do you know that's not my end goal? ]
..I don't think you'd mind it that much if I did though, would you?
[ Then again, he might~! But...Don't think about it don't think about it don't think about it. She's.. she's gonna go back to massaging his shoulders. Though that blush was being pretty persistent. ]
[ She's making a valiant effort to keep from voicing any possibly inappropriate thoughts, yes... Alas, the fact that they're coming to mind at all means that the intent will eventually bleed into her emotions. Dulled as his empathic abilities are starting to become, he can still clearly feel her aura. And he's quite alright with that. ]
This apartment complex—mmn...—is apparently haunted by ghosts, so the neighbors have been scared off. The number 4 is—[ He bites back the urge to let a needier noise slip, sighing instead. ]—it's also a symbol of ill omens around here, so combined with the ghost reports, no one wants to rent an apartment on this floor.
[ His muscles are pretty worked up so he can understand Nilou rounding back on some spots, but Kaito has the distinct feeling she might be trying to rouse a reaction out of him now. That suspicion is confirmed when she sasses back with her reply. Turning to glance up again, this time he offers a knowing smile. ]
[ That caught her off guard, and she unconsciously glanced around. Not that she actually expected to see a ghost, it was just a habit. Also Kaito.. Kaito those noises. It's getting hard to concentrate on what she's doing. ]
Really? Have you ever seen one?
[ Who her? Intentionally trying to get a reaction out of him? Neeeeeeeever. Well... Maybe. Could be. Probably was. ]
I didn't know that.. I guess that does explain why a lot of people don't stay here.
[ He must get some odd glances from people that live nearby though. That blush brightens again at the glance and knowing smile. Boy he probably had her number from the moment she had that third glass of soju. Or second. It does give her pause for a second. ]
Ah. I.. I guess it does...
[ She chuckles a little weakly, taking a moment to work on a particularly difficult knot. ]
Ha... you know, actually... its kind of funny you mention that.
[ Hmmm...fess up or keep that to herself. She would probably get teased a lot. ]
[ ...Must he make those noises? It was really distracting - though she had to be glad he DIDN'T have neighbors because .. he was getting louder than when she first started. ]
Huh? Ahah, n-no way, it's too embarrassing!
[ Cough. ]
How are you feeling now? [ Judging on the way he was letting out those groans, she would have to guess she was successful in dealing with a lot of those knots. How did one man get so many anyway? ]
[ He is actually contractually obligated to make those noises.
That's a joke.
Or is it? ]
Don't worry. The only ones listening are me and the few dozen spirits possessing my furniture. [ Kaito turns his head again, smiling impishly up at the redhead. ]
I'm... Mm. Better, I think? It's been a long time since I last got a massage, but you can probably feel that well enough. [ This is what happens when you're a raging workaholic, Nilou. Don't be like Kaito. At the very least, she's making good progress on his shoulders. ]
How about you? Are you sure you can make it through all this without getting too flustered, huh?
[ Dang fine print! Nilou raised her hands, waving them back and forth in protest. ]
Haha, e-even if that's the case I -- [ A pause. ] Possessing your furniture..? [ So like.. there's a ghost in his bed...a nd she's sitting on it? ... she mentally shook her head. He's messing with her there, right? ]
Oh - I'm glad that you're feeling better. I've lost count on how many knots I've had to work through already. [ Oh she's already a workaholic - though a different sort than Kaito. She doesn't take multiple jobs, she just works 300% on the one she does has, from missing out on sleep to skipping the occasional meal. It's fiiiine. ]
M-me? I'm fine..! I promised you I'd give you a massage and I'm going to see it through! [ She'll .. she'll manage somehow..! ]

[ He IS the one who asked the ghosts to drive off all his neighbors, after all.
Kaito closes his eyes for a moment, groaning his appreciation again. ...Is he starting to get a little louder? ]
