True, but Mother is very good at making her expectations...clear. I'll know what lines I'm allowed to cross.

[He rubs his chin.] That is true. I could just be blunt and leave it in their hands if they really wish to mess with me.

I, meanwhile, get an excuse to look absolutely gorgeous. Its always so hard to be sure when I can get away with a skirt day to day unless its a look that combines it with shorts or thick leggings.

Probably relieved considering the last guests was the Noodle Boy, Dragon Girl, and....the blue thing, I can't recall his name, a friend of theirs, after I found them half dead in the desert. We were in a tentative truce so they were unhappy, but tolerating....

Until they stole the piece of the Samadhi Fire Father was safe guarding.

And then drove a hole through the outer wall. We saved the day with the fire, but I'm not so sure they'll allow a repeat visit.

A perfectly respectable and powerful royal would likely be a welcomed event at this point. Power alone goes a long way with earning my parents' respect, before factoring in the rest. Mother might even be delighted.

[Now that Father is home, she might actually consider having Red Son be courted. With the challenge being who he hasn't offended that would be worth the Demon Bull Family. Hum. He'll need to make sure Mother knows Saya is married if she seems oddly happy, that usually means Mother sees an opportunity.]

[He blushes at that, couch's, but then sits up a little straighter.]
Well, of course. I've always been rather attractive. I can make most things look good. [At least that he's confident in without intrusive thoughts.]
forgingfires: (Softer blush)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
As one should be. She is not an easy woman to impress. [Or make happy. Though it has been easier these days, he's still just figuring that all out. Its a whole different dynamic with his father around.]

[Though the one advantage of immortality is when it comes to heirs, its less of a concern. It could be centuries before its even a thought to ponder. It had been centuries before his parents had him themselves.]


Ah, well. Yes. [He looks more bashful at that.] I'm aware the offer was a casual thing, but it felt callous to not at least have a nice evening of it. Especially when its a new experience. First impressions and all can apply to experiences, so its best to treat them like they're something special.
forgingfires: (Why are you like this)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods to the first part, taking a few more bites of his own food. It is spicier than the rice, but still made with care to make sure the base food was good and went well with the spice level. Still not enough to make him sweat, but he figures that might be when he can experiment with the glowing peppers hanging from the dried spice hooks.]

[But his eating slows as she talks because a 'but' is the last thing he expects.]

[Until he pauses, food halfway raised, staring because that sure]

[Sounded like talking about something more than casual which is a thought he had refused to even ponder despite the rush of affection and fondness he'd been feeling.]


What.

[Sometimes eloquence evades even him.]
forgingfires: (A spark of something)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
I-

[He lowers his chopsticks. Tapping the bottom of the bowl which is definitely not proper table manners, but his mind is racing and his hands hate to be idle. It keeps his mind from going completely off the rails with this information.]

[He knows there was fondness, of course, but the way she says that implies the potential for quite a bit more. He knows people could be friends and engage in such activities. What was the phrase? Friends with....was it benefits? Most likely, it seemed the right about of crass and subtle that humans preferred for such euphemisms.]

[He had assumed that was her intent, not for...more and that-]

[Hm]

[HM]

[The tapping stops. Its been a good two minutes.]


I...don't have anything to say right now.

Making quick emotional decisions is not my forte. I always need to think about them, because when I don't-

[He knows he defaults to rejection.]

[Rejection was easier.]

[But he doesn't want to do that with her.]
forgingfires: (Are you good?)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He hums, considering for a few more bites. Then he huffs, and smiles ruefully. More amused.]

It will likely be some time. It turns out when you spend most of your centuries long life hyper focused on a project and not actually socializing, you find yourself caught off guard a fair amount.

And I imagine you catch people off guard who have properly socialized. Really, I should resign myself to at least one blind sided moment in all our interactions.
forgingfires: (totally called out)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that is fair. Its not as if my emotions are exactly subtle. Its more there are too many at once, clamoring for attention. Most of the time, I know which one I want to pick, but...

Well, there's a reason mother has a time limit for me at parties.

So I try to have more care in the selection when I find myself fond of the other person.

[Which is vague, but he figures its enough to say that he is invested. That the relationship between them had some value to him, even if he wasn't sure what that ultimate value was.]
forgingfires: (Softer blush)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Annoyance isn't as big of a deal breaker as you might think. [FOR REASONS HE HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT. How those two drive him up the wall and he still finds himself as fond as he is, he will never figure out.] However, I would be on fire a lot more often and far less flushed at the time if you were annoying.

I am glad you enjoyed it. [He replies before eating the last few bites of his own dish and standing up to take their dishes to the sink.]

There are a few other questions I wanted to ask before we...

Well, obviously my own preferences are up in the air, but I wanted to check if there was anything you don't want your partner doing? You mentioned before about being in charge?
forgingfires: (...I'm gonna punch a noodle boy)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He does have a dish washer, but cleaning up himself keeps his hands busy. There were facts about this conversation, but it was also a little more emotionally charged then simple item prep. It helps keep him here and not too flustered as he cleans the dishes.]

That is good to know. It can be easy for me to get caught up in being domineering, knowing there is a limit is good. [It keeps him paying attention to the signals and figure out what the limit is without needing to be told off too much to be annoying.]

[He does nod as she continues and his own face heats up as he keeps his eyes pointed to the sink.]
I enjoyed what we did before. I don't really know what could be a no for the most part from the lack of experience, but I will be clear if I don't like something.

But...I don't mind you directing me with a hand on my neck, but don't use a grip that would restrict air flow. I can't suffocate, don't worry otherwise. And no collars at any point in the future.

And of course water is a no go. Sorry, there will be no round two in the shower, I get in and out as fast as hygienically possible.
forgingfires: (...I'm gonna punch a noodle boy)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
My biggest concern was more you'd put a hand on the front of my neck to hold me in place or move me and that would do it, especially since there is no health reason to not put too much pressure. Since I was addressing it, might as well just be clear on collars too.

[You see some Things when you try to track what the internet thinks of your bull man dad.]

[He'll start handing off dishes as they get clean.]
It was more an attempt at a joke. I'm not sorry for being a fire demon.

...if you want to stay, I think that would be okay. [He is blushing a lot, but at least getting through it!!!]
forgingfires: (Softer blush)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-12 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Well. Good. I appreciate what you are too.

[He's quite red himself. He doesn't have a problem with his demon self, his self esteem issues are fairly him orientated, but it is nice to be appreciated all the same.]

[He nods at that and despite the flush, there is a small smile on his face. Because it does sound nice. To not be left alone after. It sounded too cold and much like the dinner, he wanted it to feel a bit special at least.]


And.

What things would you like? I know the biting, but other things you enjoy that a novice might be able to do.
forgingfires: (I cannot BELIEVE-)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Divorcing him from his need to be competent and successful will take Some Time unfortunately. Getting rid of a centuries long motivation is no small task.]

[He looks up at the tug, blush getting more intense as well as the crackling of his hair.]
R-right. [He swallows and quickly washes the last of the dishes, a mix of nervous and excited.]

[It only takes a minute or two to finish and wash up, letting his hands steam to dry away the water from them, it's more thorough than a towel, and looks to her.]
Okay. I'm done, so we can....
forgingfires: (gotta have some spicy non-legoman)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-04-13 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh]

[There is that sparking euphoria as the brief contact turns to something firm and close and so much more. One that is intense and sends electricity through his nerves and he finds himself quickly melting into it. Only jumping a bit as his hands are grabbed, but dutifully move moves his hands to pull her closer, moving to rest on her lower back.]

[His eyes are lidded, face flushed, but want is clear all the same.]
Yes. A few water bottles on the night stand. [He steps forward, pushing towards the bedroom, while still pressed against her.]
