After a few more gasps and moans, Emerald asks how this will help get the ring off.

"Ring…? Oh!" Hope says, seemingly snapping back to reality.

"I, that is to say, I mean! Yes, the ring! Um…" Hope continues, gesturing uselessly, "I'm actually not sure what this is. You say it doesn't come off? How did you get it in the first place?"

"No, I can't get it off and.. And I don't want to talk about where it came from…" Emerald says, not meeting Hopes eyes.

"Y-yes of course, I um…" Hope says, not meeting Emerald's gaze either and seemingly not hearing what he said, "I should probably go looking for… For more survviors! Yes, um… You are free to wander the compound. I should-" Hope says trailing off, springing to her feet and dashing outside.

There is a silence as Emerald stares at the place Hope left. He let's out a little whine. His member is throbbing longingly, and as much as he wants to finish he knows better than to try to do it himself with the ring on.

>Emerald's frustration increases to 90/100!
