Devossy

Cedar blushed a little, but continued playing.

"For what...?" He asked her.

Cedar kept playing for a while longer, enjoying the calm contrary from the chaotic beginning of the situation. Mikka seemed to like him at the very least. It was almost...nice, having someone who cared.

Cedar finished playing, and set his hands down again. He turned to Mikka, and smiled at her.

"How could I say no to such a beautiful woman?" He complimented her.

Cedar held her shoulder again. "Was your previous master violent with you or something? It sounds like it wasn't pleasant..."

Devossy

Cedar looked genuinely concerned.He lightly held her cheek. "Mikka...if I may ask, what did they do to you...?"

As a new found friend, cedar felt for her. She was too nice to be a slave. People like her didn't deserve that pain. Sure she was doing her current job by choice, but that didn't change the fact that she was bviously not fond of her past.

Devossy

Cedar stared in disbelief. "Mikka...Oh my god..."

Cedar hugged her tightly, feeling sorry for what she had been through. He held her waist, continuing to hug her.

"I promise I won't let anything like that happen to you ever again..."

Devossy

Cedar blushed at how close she was to him. She smelled very sweet. Her eyes were even more beautiful up close.

"I...uh..." He stuttered at first. "D-Do you live here?"

Devossy

"Wh-What do you mean r-red in the cheeks...?" Cedar blushed, looking away.

"And...if you want, you can stay on my bed. I can sleep on the floor. You deserve it much more than me, Mikka..."

Cedar felt bad for her. She deserved better treatment.

Devossy

"I...alright then. You can sleep at the foot of the bed. Are you sure that's alright?" He asked.

He was still blushing at how close she was to him.
