Holly giggles. "Good." she replies.

Rei feigns shock.
"What do you mean by 'good', hmmmm? What did I do to deserve such torture?"

Holly thinks a moment. "Hmmm, well, you are way too nice for one. You're supposed to just let me let you do whatever you want. You need to stop thinking about others for a bit and enjoy things."

"I... huh?"
Rei's feigned surprise turns into a bit of actual surprise as Holly gets real for a second. Rei finally moves her hands to wipe her eyes before setting them back on Holly, but she looks like she's torn thinking about something.
"Am... Am I seriously too nice?"

Holly shrugs. "Sometimes, yes. Being nice isn't bad, but it doesn't help everything. Besides that, it's okay to be selfish sometimes. Especially around me. I really don't mind."

Rei fidgits. Is Holly right?
...Yes. Yes she is. It hits Rei like a ton of bricks. All her stresses lately have dealt with other people. She was worried about feelings being hurt about her choice instead of her own. Every time she loses her first thought is that she's a failure because she can't protect everyone. Didn't Clay even tell her that it works both ways? That they'd be there for her while she protects them? In fact really the only thing she should have had actual worry about it was the poacher attack. And even that she didn't make it about herself and put it in the 'cant protect people' column.
She looks to Holly, a little pained.
"I think... you might be right. I should try to just enjoy myself more. But... I don't know if I can do it easily or comfortably. Someone had to be the selfless one around my sisters. It's a part of me... What do you do when you are feeling 'selfish'?"

Holly proclaims that she isn't really sure at all. She just does what seems right in a given moment. She's not usually aware if it's selfless or selfish half the time.

"Well that... hmmm."
Rei thinks for a minute.
"So being selfish around you is ok, yes? You'd be ok with me doing something like that?"

"For the most part, yeah. All those times you wanted to know what I want to do? I just want to do what you want. Now you don't have to waste time asking!" Holly gets a cheeky grin.

Rei shakes her head and laughs.
"Alright alright I get it. Forgive me for trying to get input and make sure both ends of the relationship are represented well."
She closes her eyes and breathes, she puts both hands on the back of Holly's neck.
"Ok the first thing that comes to mind then is..."
Rei smiles and sticks her tongue out again, this time right in Holly's face!

Holly once again grabs Rei's tongue, resuming the tickle torture! Gourgeist assists!

Rei immediately begins laughing again and doesn't even bother to resist, as it'll just waste her energy.
"Ah! Thafs no fair! Youh said I could do what I wanted!"

"Yes, but I also never said I'd let you get away with the tongue thing!" Holly laughs evilly.
After a few more minutes of this, she finally lets Rei go free. She's had her fun.

Rei struggles as she's tickle tortured but she can't seem to do much but wait till it's over. After she calms, she laughs and wipes her eyes again.
"Fine, fine, ok. I get it."
She breathes a sigh of relief but smiles happily.
"...I like this side of you."

Holly smiles wistfully. "It's something my sister and I did when I was younger. I was much more stubborn and headstrong back then. Every time I stuck my tongue out at her in defiance of something, she'd grab it and tell me 'next time I'm keeping it'. Naturally, I, like you, tested that declaration. Only difference is she didn't let up so easily."

Rei giggles at the thought.
"Well I didn't have much of a choice but to give up when your Gourgeist helps and can phase through my hands. It's like cheating."
She moves a hand through Holly's hair.
"But you've opened up to me so much. I love it."

Holly just blushes and snuggles close to Rei. She doesn't seem to know what else to say right now.

Rei enjoys the snuggles, but Holly's words keep echoing in her head.
"In all seriousness, I do have a request or two."
Rei blushes a bit at the thought, but tries her best to seductively open her kimono a little to show off some skin before looking Holly in the eyes.
"Kiss me, Holly."

Holly's face turns redder, but she complies. It's not like she doesn't enjoy it a little. It's just.. strange to her. Even after having done it quite a bit with Rei now. Still, it will make Rei happy, and she asked, so she shall receive. Holly leans in towards Rei, trying to give her what she asked for.

Rei turns back in kind, with both her hands now running through Holly's hair as she does. One of Rei's legs even hooks around Holly's. (So she can't escape the love!)
