[ please let him mean at the parlor ]

Heh, okay.

[ The tree branches part artfully, and he nightingales his way up off the ground so they're at eye level. ]

Wanna fly us, or should I?

[ He knows you like your new wings. ]

I can fly us.

[ As his eyes follow the movements of the branches ]

. . . You know . . . I have an idea -- for after.

[ Slipping in closer, arms around Venti's waist. ]

Is that right? What kind of ideas.

[ Leaning forward a little ]

You can use that power to bind limbs, right?

[ His eyebrows lift, just the tiniest quirk. ]

Oh. Those kinda ideas.

[ A very deliberate smile. ]

They've got vines in at least one of the rooms at that hotel if you want 'em to be real. [ Tiniest pause. ] Or it can be anywhere and anything, if just the sensation's good enough.

[ ...although. ] [ Lupine pauses, head tilting back to regard Venti a little more carefully. ]

—You're sure you want that, though?

[ Because. He's very sure he remembers any form of restraint being your one hard no, months ago, when he first asked. ]

Edited 2022-08-22 02:19 (UTC)

I'm sure.

[ . . . ]

I trust you.

[ ............jfc Venti. ]

—We're using a safe word. Stoplights. Green: I keep going, red: I stop completely, yellow: I give you a minute.

Hehehe . . .

And that's precisely why I trust you.

[ These unprovoked attacks, istg... ]

Yeah, yeah. I don't want this to be something you regret in the morning.

Don't worry about that. Just worry about tiring yourself out.

[ Oh, a very amused noise, before he remembers he hasn't shown this off yet. ]

—Yeah, you don't have to worry. I know sIVs can just keep going as long as they want, but...

[ Considers, then: Venti will get the probably-disorienting sensation of another pair of arms wrapping around him from behind. An illusory double~. It presses a very real-feeling smile into the back of Venti's neck before vanishing. ]

As long as you don't straight-up knock me out, I think I can take care of you just fine.

[ He jumps, in fact, eyes widening -- but then the realization sets in shortly after, ah, so that's what it is, and then he's grinning. ]

Now that I'd like to play with.

[ Well, that's just a cute reaction. Lupine's lips curve up higher. ]

Happy to oblige. But first, I think we've got a piercing to take care of?

That's right! It's an important experience. I bet it builds character! C'mon, let's go!

[ Grabbing his arm and dragging him back toward the city. ]

[ Dragged, there might be muffled laughter. ~~Also flying, one assumes.~~ ]

And here I would've thought you had all the character you could stand.

I hope that's a compliment. ♪

[ Pretends to think about it. ]

Yes?

Well then, I choose to have no hard feelings!

[ INTO THE TATTOO PARLOR ]

[ A chuckle, and he starts to say, ]

Whatever shape your character's in, I promise it's just fine—

[ ...but then tattoo parlor. He pauses in the entryway, grinning. ]

And here we are.

[ Venti is busy rubbernecking at every little thing ]

You know . . . I've never actually been in here before!

...Yeah, that makes sense.

[ Had to think about it for a second, but. It makes complete sense. ]

—Fair warning, it's creepy.

[ Enjoy the conveyor belt,,,, ]

[ ABOUT THAT ]

Um . . . am I supposed to lay down on that for this?

...Yep. You pick out the earring you want and the ear you want pierced up front, [ there's probably like a touch screen helpfully currently showing them in a pinch-and-zoomable format, ] then you lie down and it carries you into the next room where a robot arm handles the actual piercing.

[ is he about to get drafted into piercing your ear after all ]
