The question doesn't deter Ryoko from attempting to perfect the smile she's working at. Her tail waves behind her, and faster when he finally laughs. Of course, that doesn't mean her fingers are coming out of his mouth at what any normal person would deem an ordinary speed. No, she's a little too focused for immediate withdrawal and a little too relieved, a little too pleased to remember it.

"There you are! I was starting to wonder if I'd ever find you in there," she says, and with a smile as she recalls, belatedly, that popping her fingers out of his mouth might be a good idea.

Wiping her drool covered thumbs on his coat is also a great idea that is being realized. Once they're relatively dry, she brings a hand to her hip, glancing back to where she saw those tall white doors the girl passed through only a moment earlier.

"So, what was that about, anyway?" she asks, gesturing. "You got all weird and droopy."
