Three Steps from Masquerade[Amaranta, Klein, Saber]

Klein's eyes narrowed as he realized he was being ignored, and the whole of his demeanor seemed to grow just a touch more sour, more irritable. Still, the headpat from Saber made at least some small amends for what he perceived as an intensely grievous slight, and he laid his head against her as he let out a small sigh of relief, tension exiting his frame again.

"No, I don't have anything that fancy here. I keep this place quiet n' out of the way, getting a whole machine like that'd probably be a little more of an ordeal than I'd want."

Of course, there was also the fact that he really didn't actually need this place to be so fancy. It was a getaway, not a headquarters. If he wanted a milkshake, he'd go get one, or have someone else get one.

"Aw. That's too bad. Well, I guess you won't get to see what that tastes like just yet. Don't worry, though. I frequent earth in my spare time. I'd gladly treat you to a place where we're allowed. It's like walking a fuckin' tightrope down there sometimes, though."

Amaranta momentarily registered Klein's reaction. Much like before, she paid no heed to it. There was no particular reason to at the moment unless he desired to impose his will further. Judging by his reaction, that wasn't the case. At the moment, Saber still proved the crux of her curiosity. What was going on through her mind right now?

What did she think of them as they eyed her like a pair of curious creatures? Surely, she had questions, too, no? Assured that they could glean a closer, Amaranta held no precedence for what that entailed. Thus, in her mind, she simply took it as an opportunity to follow suit as she rolled against the bed to lean up against the considerably taller arrancar's frame, clawed fingers poking curiously at her new body.

"Curious is a way of describing it, yeah. What's your opinion of us? What's going on inside your head? It'd be awkward if I'm just staring at you. I'd like to know how this all feels. I never got to see a hollow removing their mask before. But, at the same time, I'm not gonna drown you in questions. Answer at your own pace, uh, er..."

Did she even have a name? Shit...

"A way to thank me? I'll get back to ya on that one, but I've got one or two things in mind."

Klein certainly knew what he'd like to do with her right about now, and the corners of his mouth tunred upward in a slight grin as he let one hand actually start prodding at Saber as well. Not quite exploratory, more just getting a feel for the big lady. Her question still got through to him, though, and while his touching didn't stop, his voice grew a bit more serious when he replied.

"Nah, not interrupting anything exactly. I've got a couple big projects going on, but right now it's just a waiting game, and I have someone who'll call me up if anything actually needs my attention. Nothing I've gotta worry about, but it keeps my thoughts a little busy, know what I mean?"

Of course, Klein's thoughts were pretty squarely on those experiments right now, and even the lovely lady handling them, but that didn't mean he was going to ignore this treasure right here and now. If there was one thing he'd learned to do, it was seize every opportunity.

"Familiar is a pretty accurate term, yeah. We've frequented earth quite a few times. It's probably a better idea to let you get a feel for everything before you get accustomed to anything in the realm of the living."

Amaranta offered an amused smile in response to the woman poking at her tall frame, returning the gesture with the playfulness of a feline that a willing target to hold their attention. There wasn't much to offer in this particular mode of conversation, and so she naturally relaxed against the fellow tall woman's frame. Curiosity somewhat compelled her to inquire about these big projects Klein was talking about, but since she felt none of it involved her, and they rarely discussed their personal plans with one another anyway, she cast the thought aside as she rolled along the bed, quietly ruffling her own hair. When she spoke about there being any way she could repay them, Amaranta assumed part of that was mostly in response to Klein.

"Repay the favor, eh? Be careful, he might use that as an opportunity to indulge himself in a more hands-on experience with that new body of yours. I wonder what your first time having sex would even be like if that happened."

Pulling a lollipop from her pocket, Amaranta slowly unwrapped the it, plopping it straight in her mouth as she languidly gazed at the two with quiet curiosity. Klein wasn't so generous that he wouldn't find a way to make things work for his benefit. He doubted Sabre would be of any exception to that rule.
