[He's... right... Although as soon as she sees the word "aphrodisiac", Maya basically already knows what this message is going to be about, she can't help but linger on that fact.

She shouldn't show up pumped full of aphrodisiac herself. Not with a date on the line. Still--]

Is there anyone else?

[valhallan]

That news you broke to me is only significant in one way.

[ you know, about Magato. ]

Seems like I'll need to branch out a little more.

[heartboobs]

Answer the question.

[Even if he has, in a way.]

[valhallan]

No, probably not.

[heartboobs]

And you can't just take care of it already because...?

[valhallan]

What, you mean going to the brothel? It's not very personal, is it? I'm too sensitive to go to a place like that.

[ he cannot help but be factitious when he's also submitting himself to judgment, ok ]

I'd rather take your pity.

[It takes Maya a long moment, longer than any before in this conversation, to really sit down and consider what he's suggesting. Her own body is racing with need (though you better bet not for Izaya specifically), and she knows she can control herself for just a little while longer, knows there's a reason she didn't ask to make an urgent visit to a certain someone's apartment after she selected her dress. She should be able to wait a few more days, shouldn't she? Worry about calling so-and-so then. Take care of it after the gala itself?

But the lack of rest and the dreams are getting to her.

And she also knows this sort of suffering is something they all know too well, something it's plain cruel to expect any one of them to endure. Especially when they have no real friends or partners to speak of.]

[... If it's with Izaya, and he's "pleading" to her like this, she can set her own limits. If it's Izaya, the sex doesn't mean anything. If it's Izaya, that sex can even be the bare minimum. There's a part of her disgusted with herself for even considering more worship -- and what's more, voluntary worship -- with him, but there is also a part of her that sees this as a way for him to owe her. A chip in her favor.

She has some other things to make sure of before she fully goes through with it, of course, but those can wait until she's right in front of him.]

I'll show up if I decide to give it.

[ well. of course she always had the option to deny him, and Izaya wouldn't even hold it against her if she did. from his relationship with her thus far though, he expected Maya to oblige him. if he didn't, he wouldn't ask. it was no big loss if she acted differently, but he had never been the type to bow his head and plead unless it would directly benefit him, so if he could avoid rejection, he would obviously rather.

all that aside though, if she granted him his request, he was unlikely to be demanding. this wasn't a personal affair. this was a matter of necessity, though not one he particularly scorned. while each step taken beyond that necessity would be observed with incitement of his ego that she probably didn't want to deal with, it wasn't a requirement. ]

I'll be expecting you.
