Even with the two girls admitting they loved each other there was the lingering element of a chess match between them. Each one was making moves to try and corner the other in a way that would grant them victory in some way. Victories were simply little spurts of pleasant feelings for Tori, tiny reminders that she was still successful at whatever challenges presented themselves to her. That was how things were with Raion at least - against others there would be actual spoils and stakes to battle over in whatever way had been deemed appropriate. She wasn't sure what her prize for winning the Triad would be, but Raion upped the stakes quite a bit. How delicious! Being claimed as Raion's own in front of the entirety of Spica's student body, showing the world of Astraea Hill that she belonged to one girl in particular. Part of Tori didn't have any problems accepting that fate, as it would mean they were together anyhow. Yet belonging to someone at all made her fired up enough that she had to come back with something suitably high stakes as a counter. What would people think of her if she didn't?
"Oh-ho, raising the stakes are we? Very well, I accept this fate should I lose but you may rest assured that we will not be seeing that happen," Tori responded proudly, waving off the possibility of her own defeat.
After a moment she announced, "For when I emerge victorious over you, Raion, I will ask for an even greater symbol of that commitment we're making to each other. I shall claim as my prize a kiss before the spectators, before which I will tell everyone I have taken a vow to be only with you. Everyone will know that you and I are one, with a symbol in public to solidify our affections and commitment. That is my prize."
