Across the Vanishing Sky
Raphael put his hand out for Sasuga's once they were on the road, and he didn't let go the whole time they were on the road, it was nearly an hour before they made it to Rupert's house and Raphael reminded her numerous times on the way to behave, that it might not go well, and to check any expectations she might have before they arrived. The driveway appeared to be long and winding, like any of them leading to Shishi's house or the temple in the forest, but this one was fenced off and gated. Raphael rolled his window down as he drove up to a call box, and he pressed a number and waited for a response After a short moment a voice came through. "Leave the car and proceed." The gates opened enough for them to walk through themselves, but not to drive through. Raphael sighed a bit to himself, rolled up the window, and unbuckled. He leaned back over to Sasuga. "Kiss for luck." he said softly and stole gently lingering one from her before he slid from the driver's seat and moved to open her door offering his hand to help her out.
Sasuga sat back on the bed, lounging in her fancy dress, heels and expensive jewelry, tipping back the bottle of alcohol more for looks than for the drink. Her smile grew with each thing he unwrapped but the knight one clearly was her personal favorite.
“I’m glad you like them all. I wanted to make sure you had choices and could wear them for different times and moods.” She explained. “But you have to pick one to set the mood for the rest of the night because I doubt you’ll stop to switch once we start.” She giggled.
He nodded, "I love them." he assured her, and touched the metal collar to his lips before placing it down with the others and staring at his choices. He ran his hand over the green one, finding it something of a favorite, but right now he was feeling anything but good, he smirked and reached for the black one, knowing she had liked the way it looked on him over his shirt, and that he was certainly starting to feel like the big bad wolf. He picked it up with his hands and presented it to her. "You have to put it on me."
