"Fair enough," Jiraiya replied with a soft smile--he could tell Renamon was at her limit for this discussion, and it was best to end it for now instead of following her around like some lost, lonely puppy. "I will see you tonight, then. I'll bring the loudmouth to introduce to you if I can."

It had gone over better than expected. She was at least giving the idea thought instead of vetoing it immediately. And that was better than the reaction he had expected. She hadn't even agreed that he was being a moron about this.

But he needed the time to think about it, too. Especially about how to not drop hints about his more perverted side until she was ready for that. While it would be nice to be together with her, he also didn't want to end up dead when she found out.
