"When have I ever punished you for affection? I'm drawing something of a blank on that scenario. Furthermore, what would happen, I wonder? I think you'd get a chance to sit astride me for a while and enjoy my reactions for once. It doesn't eliminate your femininity, we're both girls, it's only natural that such a role would temporarily be taken up by one side or the other. Someone has to do some work, after all," her stance relaxed a bit, and she looked into the hallway once more.

"Nevermind, Tojiko, stand down for now. The order is rescinded."

She turned back to Futo, closing the door behind her and stepping back into the room. "If you offend me, somehow, what do you think is going to happen? Look at all of these things which you've said to me, and still I find patience to give to you, still I find an ear to give to your voice. If you offend me in a personal relationship, I will simply tell you that it is as such. Sometimes, it will depend on my mood; sometimes I will not want to end up pinned and held down beneath you. Sometimes I will. You can't predict those things like I can. So you just have to trust that I will tell you, without being hurt, that I'm not in the mood for such a thing, and you will honor that, and we will move on."
