[ it's not much a laugh - more of a sharp exhale, almost a sigh. the smile on her face is softer, more subdued than it's been throughout their conversation. but that doesn't mean it's fake, either. you know? ]

Pretty swell guy for a demon. I guess that's what the "devilman" thing is about, huh? [ she sighs, more vocal this time, shaking her head with that same soft smile. this time, when he licks at his fingers, she doesn't even try to hide where her eyes are going. ] Fine. Same to you, kid. Someone's gotta make sure you don't throw in the towel when it gets tough.

[ she pulls her hands out of her pockets, dusting them off on her coat. she takes a few steps forward, crossing that little distance between them. and then, in a single smooth motion, she grabs his shoulder - pulling herself up as if she were weightless only to press her lips against akira's.

it's a quiet kiss. there's no sensuality or passion behind it; her tongue stays firmly planted in her own mouth. but it's unmistakably, unavoidably a kiss nonetheless. a few seconds is all she can manage before gravity takes its hold on her once more, and she glides back onto her feet with that same grin. ]

There. Now you have an inhuman friend, too.
