[ The thing is... Hermione has done terrible, awful things as well. She knows she has - the memories won't go away. She's killed with her own hands and she has caused a landslide of horror that had destroyed a castle and all the people inside of it. She had to watch as her best friend cursed her for it, had to try and come to terms with her own self-hatred for what she had done, and now... Now she has to try and work forward from it, if she can.
She almost goes backward with the hug, shaking a little before her arms wrap around Tamamo and rest there for a moment. Their bond is strong, and sure, and she closes her eyes, basking in it for a moment before she breathes out. She might never be able to love Tamamo the way the other woman wants her to, but she does care about her.
[That agreement sends her into excitement overdrive, honestly. Her reaction can only really be described as 'demurely ecstatic', practically sparkling in joy.]
[ She shifts, moving to draw her wand, and whispers Accio Hermione's bag. Her tiny beaded bag comes flying into the room and Hermione reaches up with one hand to grab it. ]

She's not going to try and fight that. ]
I have no idea what you're talking about.
[ But she squeezes her gently all the same. ]

[She just giggles to herself. It's not a mutual love like she dreams of, but it's a strong bond- and that alone is enough.]
By the way, Master... It's a bit off-topic, but could I ask you for just one favor, before we leave this system?
no subject
[ Hermione is used to quick, heavy bonds, and she simply accepts that this is how she and Tamamo are going to be - and it's good. ]
Hm? Of course, what did you have in mind?
no subject
Well... There's something I want to buy, so! Will you come on a date with me?
[... Instant bond isn't why she phrases it like that, though. It just seems like she gets a lot of her inspiration from cheesy stories.]
no subject
[ Hermione blinks before she leans back to look at Tamamo. Then she softens, and nods her head. ]
I think we can have one date.
no subject
Yesss! Date flag, triggered! Shall we go, then?
no subject
What, right now?

Let's go!
