The male would feel his heartbeat quicken as Kara pressed into his arm as she linked hers in his. Her touch, her words, her eyes, even the scent of her perfume becoming all the more intoxicating to him. He would look back into her beautiful golden eyes, feeling himself falling deeper and deeper into the drug this woman was proving to be to him. He would be lost in her allowing her to guide him, as if he were a mere puppet on a string. As she tapped upon the door with her parasol, he would find his left arm raised as his fingers would lightly caress the fair pale skin on her hand and fingers. He would speak no words, and would stop if she wished it. However if she did not stop him, he would continue to gently run his fingers over her hand that was linked in his other arm for the entirety of their journey. Once the doors opened they would begin their tour of the Village, his eyes would never leave the woman unless she directed his attention to something. Saburo would be waiting outside the door just as Damien had instructed before, the man would move to walk with his employer however Damien would quickly wave him off. Everything was going so well, the last thing he needed was the brute getting in the way. Saburo would shadow the pair walking behind them at a fair distance, as was required of him when Damien dealt with clients in Moonspire. The male knew not where they were going or the things or people around them, his only interest was that of the beautiful woman linked in his arm. She could have been leading him to the gates of hell, and he would still follow her willingly.
When she spoke of being innovative and directed his attention to the building she was leading him to, Damien would tear his eyes away from her only for a brief second to glimpse the building before returning his eyes to her. It was a very modernize facility from what little Damien cared to look at it, though Darhk Tower would eclipse this building Damien would keep it too himself. He would however make a mental note to take her to see his estate back in Moonspire, as he had a feeling she would enjoy such a Palace. Of course if she asked him he would build her an exact replica of it here in Suna, though with the surprises the woman had given him so far were any indication. Damien was beginning to feel there was more to her than was on the surface, though at the present moment he cared little about it. She could be a engineer herself, after all she spoke of them being innovative as well as mentioning competition before. Perhaps she was the spearhead of such innovation, perhaps she was his competition in this land. Though on the outside one would not be able to tell, on the inside the male would be dancing at the thought of her being his competition. Not because he thought he was better than her, but because she held an intellect that rivalled his own. It would be a true test of his skills, and it would mean he would be seeing a lot of her.
His thoughts would be pulled back to the present as they approached the doors of the facility and he heard the doorman say her name. Kara was such an unusual name, but one that suited the beauty attached to his arm. At least now he had a name for the beauty, though he wished the man had given her last name. The lobby reminded Damien a lot of his own lobby at Darhk Tower, the welcoming atmosphere was always good for business. Damien would stop walking and feel the woman's reluctance to part, it took all he had to not ask her not to go. Instead he would stand patiently waiting or perhaps even hoping for Kara to return, already the warmth from where her arm had rested was beginning to fade and Damien felt as if a part of him was missing. He would watch her form as she approached the desk, though he did not hear what she told the woman at the desk. When she turned back around, Damien felt his heart leap once more at the sight of her smile. Feeling her back in his arms he knew he was whole once more, returning to caressing her hand as he allowed her to guide his movements to the elevator. As they stepped into the elevator Saburo would move to join them, causing Damien to wave him off once more. If the woman wanted to kill him, she had plenty of opportunities to do so. Besides he wanted to be alone with the woman, for the rest of the world to fade away and it simply be him and her. Once the doors shut however the woman's facial expressions shifted as she looked at him, almost sad Damien was afraid he had done something to upset her until she spoke. An apology was unexpected, though once she explained it he understood why she felt the need to apologize. Damien would still be caressing her hand as she spoke, his mind processing her words, though his demeanor would not change in the slightest.
As soon as she had finished Damien would reply without hesitation,
"Please, Miss Kazehana do not be sad on my account, you are so beautiful when you smile and I would hate to think I was the cause of your unhappiness. I will do anything you want me to do to see you smile. There is no need for forgiveness, the fault was mine. I was the one to jump to such a conclusion, you have done nothing wrong. I cannot say I would not allow someone to think the same of me if the roles were reversed." His tone was kind and understanding, a complete one eighty from how he would normally handle the situation such as that. But he was right, she did not do anything wrong, he was the one that had assumed and that was what he got for making such. If Zhu Li saw him now, he had no doubt her jaw would have dropped to the floor. His assistant knew him better than anyone else, sometimes even better than he knew himself. Of course if Zhu Li had been there, Damien doubted things would have turned out as they had. Damien would stare back into the beautiful eyes of Kara, his eyes saying what he could not trust to his words as he moved in closer to her so that their lips were nearly touching. Damien would curse the ding of the elevator, taking a step back as the doors opened. When Kara asked if he would join her, his response would be instantaneous not even fully realizing what he said until it was already said.
"Yes, Mistress."Damien would enter the room but his eyes would still be on Kara, his words still lingering in the air. He did not know how Kara would feel about it, though he hoped it wouldn't change the woman's demeanor towards him. He had almost forgotten why he had come to Sunagakure, though not completely, all he cared about now was being alone with the woman. He longed to feel her touch, if they had not been interrupted by the elevator he probably would have been feeling her touch now. Still there was business to conduct, and if Kara was so inclined they would continue their business. Though it would be hard for the male to focus, he would allow her to call the shots.
