No, it's alright. You don't have anything to apologize for.

I just realized when I saw who it was from that this probably wasn't meant for me.

[forcevisions]

That's nothing against you.

I don't do this sort of thing.

I mean it was my idea, but it was a compromise with my Dominant. Proof that I'm making quota. That's all.

[massrez]

Your Dominant requires you to send proof that you're making quota?

[massrez]

My apologies.

That was inappropriate of me to ask.

WHOOPS

[forcevisions]

It was inappropriate of me to send it.

[ even if it wasn't really her. the outcome was the same. he's allowed curiosity. ]

But I agreed to it.

[massrez]

I suppose I shouldn't worry, then.

[ The implication being that he does anyway, of course. She's his friend. ]

[forcevisions]

If my Dominant could force me to do something, I wouldn't be sending him pictures. I'd be making my quota with him, and only him.

I'm alright. I promise.

[massrez]

I trust you. And I trust your judgement.

[ But her Dominant sounds like a piece of work. ]

[forcevisions]

I'll try to earn that.

And I'll remember that it's not your thing. My apologies if the present technical chaos turns anything else up.

[massrez]

I

No I didn't say that.

[forcevisions]

Didn't you?

[ he'd seemed insistent it couldn't be for him, and seemed put off by her dominant's interest. rey had well decided that anduin likely wasn't interested in her in that way, but now she's a little confused. ]

[massrez]

I just assumed that you wouldn't necessarily be sending something like that to me. 'Round two' made it seem as if there had been a 'round one'. Unless I'm forgetting something rather important.

Which in this city is entirely possible, I suppose.

[forcevisions]

I didn't get the impression you wanted a round one.

[massrez]

I might have been too subtle about it, in fairness.

[forcevisions]

I'm not well-regarded for my skill iwth subtlety. On either end.

[massrez]

A fair point.

Might I speak plainly, then?

[forcevisions]

Please.

[massrez]

If it at any point seemed as though I wouldn't be interested, it was a desire on my part not to overstep any boundaries you might not have wished crossed.

Not that I think you would hesitate to voice your displeasure if I did something of the sort, of course. But it wasn't lack of desire for more than friendship shared. Far from it.

[forcevisions]

[ it's charming, really. enough to bring a lopsided smile to rey's face. chivalry is lost on her, of course, and it's actually endearing that anduin would attempt it regardless. it can be nice to be treated as though she weren't a feral desert animal.

but she is one. and it shows in the way that she endeavors to get some more direct statement of wanting out of him. ]

So what do you desire?

[massrez]

[ It's who he is, down to his core. Even months spent in a city that values them as little more than experiments in sexual deviancy can't quite wring the nobility out of him. ]

You, Rey. If that is your desire as well.

[forcevisions]

It is.

[ she feels comfortable with him. safe, at least. and that's worth something around here. ]

I know it probably looks like I sent that picture on purpose now, but I didn't.

[massrez]

Don't worry, I believe you.

I've deleted that picture. It wasn't meant for me. And while I'd say you'd be welcome to send one that was...considering how often my device gets away from me, I'm not sure how wise that is.

[forcevisions]

I don't think there's much left for me to feel shy about.

[ citations had ensured that. ]

[massrez]

Even so, there are some things I prefer to keep private.

In the few instances we are ever allowed to, of course.

[forcevisions]

That's a shame. I rather like when things aren't private.

[ at least, when it's in her control to decide as much. she's trying not to think about the unpleasant loss of autonomy represented by those citations. ]
