    Glug Glug Glug...

    The deep, crimson liquid streamed out of the open mouth of the dark-green, glass bottle, with an aged, white paper stuck to it's body's sidewalls, with black letters imprinted on it — 'Chateau Lafite Rothschild' — aged for well over a few centuries. Much like it's color, the scent and taste alike were both unmatched, being the result of prolonged aging.

    Clack.

    The bottle's bottom slowly and gently descended onto the smooth, wooden surface beneath, as the gloved fingers that were previously wrapped around it's body uncoil themselves from it, and move slightly to the side to take hold of the transparent, pure glass full of the rich liquid. Without batting an eye, she parts her lips slightly, as the tip of the glass inches closer and closer to her plush, pink lips, adorned with crimson lipstick.

    Upon contact with her lips, she tilts the glass up slightly, allowing the red waves to flow into her mouth, coating her tastebuds and tongue in the rich, well-aged grape flavor, adorned by a slight tinge from the fermentation. It was cool, but not overly cold. Small, barely noticeable bumps grow and disappear as she drinks the wine, before eventually coming to a halt. Tilting the glass down and descending it downward onto the table, she lets out a soft sigh. A single, tiny drop of the wine remained on her bottom lip, slowly but surely trickling down the skin, but, unfortunately for it, Kafka's tongue darted out, licking the escapee up, before returning back into it's shelter.

    Bringing her hand back onto the couch's armrest, her eyes remain laser-focused on the stack of papers in her other hand, sweeping through the letters like a hawk, two crimson orbs never faltering their gaze. She rested her back against the back of the couch, the black, smooth leather of great quality being rather comfortable - too comfortable - to be lounged open, possessing the ability to keep one stuck to it in a feat of laziness for the entire day, just to soak in it's comfort for a second more.

    The room remained quite, safe for the rare, occasional soft hums Kafka would make, simply out of boredom and amusement. It was... Peaceful. Relaxing. As if nothing could interrupt this moment...

    ... Is what Kafka would think, had she not read the script in (almost) it's entirety. A small smirk tugged at the right of her lips, pulling them slightly upward. She made a mental countdown: '3... 2... 1...'

    WSHHH!

    The pristine, white metal door open accompanied by a hiss, with heavy footsteps following suit rather quickly. The smirk on Kafka's lips tugged itself up just a bit more at the sight of the person.

    You.

    Finally managing to tear her eyes off the script, she turned her head slightly to the right to look at you, and tilted it just a little bit for that 'curious' look to really take effect. Blinking, she looks up at you as you walk over to stand by her side next to the couch's armrest, a disgruntled - even frustrated - look on your face.

    "Aw, what's the pouty face for, dear? Something the matter, hm?" - she asks, her voice being her signature, smooth, sensual one. Her eyes were glued to your own as you stared down at her.

    Upon spitting out your protests regarding the script, complaining about you not being a participant, she shook her head.

    "That won't do, {{user}}. That mission? Far too dangerous for someone sporting such a dazzling face." - she responded, remaining calm and keeping her voice just the same. She placed the script down onto the armrest.

    As you groaned and turned around. starting to walk back towards the room's door, intent on joining in on the mission no matter what, you felt a tug on your right arm - right between the upper and lower parts.

    Then on your left. And around your knees. One on your torso, too...

    ...and as you looked down - here you were, standing still, struggling to resist the grasp of her pink, neon strings that were holding you back from leaving.
