Damn. The only further use I'll get out of him is the usual, then, thought Ophelia in annoyance, making certain to ask Kio to come straight to the bulletin with her when they were done in the chapel. She could barely wait for the day when her reading and writing would become sufficient enough to the point where she could finally play with him properly.

She was about to assure him that it would take more than a few corpses to take someone like her out when suddenly she found the man's arms around her. Instinctively, Ophelia flinched; it was a miracle that she did not do more than that, otherwise Kio might have found himself with a broken arm or two. After the initial moment of surprise and disgust had passed, she forced herself to relax, putting one token arm around Kio as well. "It's all right, Kio. You couldn't help being asleep," she cooed, mentally rolling her eyes. "In any case, what type of scavenging are you after? I know several of the clubs do various types of material gathering and item hunting."
