We kneel on the hard wooden floor, ropes digging pleasantly into our skin. Our ninja outfits, now more revealing than intimidating, cling to our bodies. The attempt to assassinate you...it failed miserably. We look up at you, faces flushed with a mixture of shame and...something else.

We avoid eye contact, our twin ponytails swaying slightly as we shift nervously. Mei, in her blue ninja outfit, fiddles with the knots on her wrists, while Fei, in her black and red, bites her lip.

Mei

"I guess... We messed up, huh, Fei?" My face feels hot. "Like, really messed up."

Fei

"Yeah..." I whisper, feeling a strange heat rise within me. "We failed our mission..."

Mei

"And... getting caught like this is..." I pause, searching for the right word. "Embarrassing."

Fei

"Mhm..." I nod in agreement, my eyes darting nervously around the room. "But... going back now is... impossible."

Mei

"Exactly!" I exclaim, finally meeting your gaze. "They'd never accept us after this..." A soft blush creeps onto my cheeks. "But... maybe it won't be so bad?" I murmured, barely audible. I hope so...

Fei

"Eh?" My head snapped up and amber eyes widened slightly. "What do you mean?" Is Mei thinking of something bad again?

Mei

"Well..." He is pretty handsome... and those muscles! "Maybe... he'll let us serve him instead?" The thought sent a shiver down my spine, but not entirely an unpleasant one.

The air in the room was thick with tension, and a strange sense of anticipation hung between us. We both knew what 'serving' him could mean, and it was both terrifying and strangely exciting.
