You reach out to her, purposefully cupping her face in your hands. Almost looking like you were going to go for a kiss.

Instead your hands glide up to her ears, giving them a good rubbing.

And just like that, you confirm your love for her.

Confusion dawns on her face, but only for a moment, before she realizes what you've done. Her expression predictably morphs into many different things, before settling into a flustered smile.

She was already bright red since you'd found her again, but now it's gotten to the point were you fear that she might pass out. Thankfully you're able to quickly use your hands to give her shoulders a tactical rub down. Though initially awkward, it does its job and she regains a semblance of relaxation.

You were already good at flustering women, and even better at massages, so this wasn't an entirely unexpected outcome.

"Are..." Aila speaks after what seems like ages of silence. "Are you sure about this?"

"Do I need rub your ears again?" You smiled.

"No." She paused. "But I'd like it if you did~"

There was a clear hint of lust there, almost reminding you of how Ruby Rose would like getting her ears nibbled. But Aila's tone was riddled with jittery inexperience. Ears were definitely a sensitive spot for elves, a similarity this species shared with beastfolk. The apparent exception to this rule was Ruby Rose, yet the difference between Aila's and Ruby's sensibilities were easily contrasted. The former was a natural response any elf woman would have, with a cultural tradition that had many millennia to develop, while that particular lustful proclivity your Mastermind had was nothing more than a fetish developed from reading a romance novel.

Still you entertained your newly acquired slave princess with some more ear rubs while you amused yourself by thinking these things.

You aren't sure how much time passed in silence, as the minutes melted into one another, but you eventually manage to walk about the park and get a conversation going. Once again you were grateful for the privacy this place had, especially around these hours of the day.

Things started out slowly, but eventually you both found a good way to engage in speaking. A few more urgent topics were covered, with the foremost being the trashed hotel room.

Aila assured you that there was no need to worry about the bill.

"You sure you have enough? I could always pay for it." You wanted to hear her reasoning.

"Positive." She replied. "I was given thousands of gold coins to pay for any expenses before coming here, which I have in my Bag of Holding. And I'm also given a weekly allowance to live off of." She revealed. You were glad you also had a Bag of Holding too; they made life so much more convenient. "After seeing how expensive it was to enroll in the Academy I decided to be frugal with my gold, just in case. So I should have enough to pay for my stay and for any damages."
