Re: Competition (Azure)
Francis would return from the odd looking Atlantian kitchen she had in her home, with grilled fish and other assorted small creatures that try to sneak in and defile or drink from Undine's water. "I'm not too keen on the tastes of lamia, but I understand that you enjoy the skin of your prey, so I found morsels that had particularly delicious flesh~" Francis announced, which was normal for any other mamono, but left Capri with a bit of flush missing from his face upon hearing a mamono speak in such ways regarding flesh and prey. It was hard for humans to tell the difference between prey and sexual interest in the eyes of a mamono, as most of their kind tend to treat both in the same manner.
Then, he suddenly remembered himself. "Oh, thank you very much for the food, and for such a kind of pay... You are being far too kind to us, if only we could repay-"
Capri was immediately shushed by a single finger from Francis, followed by a 'shush' from the pink mermaid. "Do not go down that road, young Capri. I would be keen on taking advantage of your self-indulged debt, and in front of your wife-to-be no less. She would never forgive me of my trespass~" she said with regards to Azure, giving her a small glance.
Capri submitted to Francis and withdrew his desire to repay her as he went to the cooked food on the table in the dining room, taking a seat casually. "I will become a horrible person if I allow myself to become spoiled while holding the knowledge that I am desirable to assertive women. The moment I start forgetting that I am a man, and begin slipping into this kind of indulgence is an event I wish to avoid."
"Don't be so reserved. You'll give Azure a headache!" Francis chuckled.
"I will be whatever Azure wants me to be once we're married, as per your customs. I want to be myself for now, reserved as I may be." Capri said firmly.
"You're already being selfish, well done~" Francis teased him, only fishing a sigh from Capri in response, before he began digging into his food after giving a slight gesture of thanks.
