+Gibi thinks. With microphone to her left and an ear to her right, she whispers

+too breathy or quiet, but just loud enough for Jake, and more importantly her
stream, to hear.

Jake wasn’t the only one who had time to freshen up. Just as Gibi did, Jake
cleansed the liquor from his mouth so that in the event of some very happily
-rapid progressed she wound have something minty to taste. The fact that she did
-as well…a good sign, no? Couldn’t do anything about the 5’o clock shadow but
-thankfully a bit of scruff looks good on Jake’s manly face. He sees it there in
-the monitor, her quality camera picking up a good amount of detail of himself,
-her, and the surroundings. He stays in place as she moves around him resetting
-her setup.

"Not to worry, I'll make sure you're properly taken care of tonight!", Gibi
whispers delicately.
