Hm. [Innocent boys can taste so sweet. Is it because he once again has lips that have never been kissed that Kira doesn't sense why Makima is leaning so close to him? A pinky promise is what she means, close to how they sealed the contract with a kiss. In the world of devil hunters, there is no such thing as a promise, only another type of contract. At least he hasn't let go of her completely. Makima loosens her arms further, basically waiting for him to let her go.]

Then I'll wait a little longer to decide. Might as well talk it over in the kitchen.

[She pats his face with her hand one last time (just barely avoiding the lips) before she stands up.]

Don't tell anyone what I'm doing, of course. I shouldn't be gone too long. [She gives another thoughtful, patient look that is much more typical for her, shows how the pity was different and deeper.] I know I've made you wait recently, and the precaution wasn't too productive in the end. I've already been gone so long. If you really aren't ready when I come back... [She turns to walk away in this moment.] I'll see what I can do to help.
