[castaside]

Not surprising. He's like a puppy who realizes how hard he's biting but keeps doing it because now it's a game.

[forgingfires]

A very apt description. I'm rather certain that's half the basis of our friendship.

Him finding the ways to get me angry without it being a lasting anger because he likes setting my hair on fire.

[castaside]

Sigh. I'm such a good person for turning him down, it's truly tragic.

I sure enjoyed setting your hair ablaze, for my part.

[forgingfires]

Its a true show of self restraint, really. Honestly, if he had been bold enough to properly proposition me, we might have figured things out sooner.

It does seem to be a thing people enjoy. I've yet to figure out why. Maybe I just attract pyromaniacs?

[castaside]

It's different. He doesn't have feelings for me. Stakes are lower.

You don't get a kick out of seeing a reaction in someone that you caused? Analogous to a blush or moan or what have you.

[forgingfires]

True. Its a lot easier to agree to a fling then anything to do with actual romance. I wasn't even willing to engage with those feelings for quite a while.

...

Okay, yes, but usually those reactions aren't at risk of causing a house fire.

[castaside]

If someone's thinking about a house fire, you're all doing things wrong.

Besides, you have great control, even when I was melting your brain.

[forgingfires]

Ah, well, there was a nonzero chance I could reforge the Samadhi Fire. So mother was very serious on my ability to control my fire, even during my worst outbursts.

Still, it is infinitely easier with candles.

[castaside]

Has anyone ever told you that your ability to derail a mood with facts is uncanny?

[forgingfires]

No, but I can't say I'm surprised either.

I'll have candles for next time.

Then you can go further with melting my brain without risking the bed.

[castaside]

That sounds well worth the price of admission. Maybe I'll have my truth mushroom conversation over by then and MK can do what he does and be at least four handfuls. Probably could fill all the hands of the clones we could make too.

[forgingfires]

[Excuse that delay because oh, the MK clones and shadow clones.]

That would indeed be a lot of handfuls.

I really will have to get creative to keep up with that. Perhaps silk? Everyone likes unwrapping a pretty present.

[castaside]

[ His brain fills in what might be happening in that pause. Some fiery hair, perhaps? ]

Silk with lots of ties or lacing, maybe. We can take our time unraveling.

[forgingfires]

[There was so much fire, there is soot on his ceiling.]

Could make a whole game of it. Several ribbons that have to be undone in a certain order. I rather suspect you'd need to help MK be patience. Reward him when he doesn't rush too much maybe.

[castaside]

I have a policy to make a game of whatever I can.

Helping him be patient won't be a problem. My shadows will hold him, distract him. If he won't be still, I'll have to distract him, won't I?

[forgingfires]

Oh, definitely. He could end up leaving the thing in knots and then where would we be?

If he can't be good, he'd just need a lesson on how best to be patient. Some helpful visual aids.

[castaside]

Untying you, of course. Or maybe ripping that pretty silk off you. Inch by inch.

Well, he does rely on me to teach him things.

[forgingfires]

It would be such a shame to tear it, but I suppose if it can't be helped.

It is an important lesson, how to be patient. Patient ones are who get to enjoy the present first. Its only fair, after all. At least, until they decide to share, that would be up to them.

[castaside]

[ It's fine Saya probably made him something pretty from scraps by now ]

These things happen, especially in the heat of the moment. The trick is to make it worthwhile.

If you were the one directing this little production, you'd get to decide how I test his patience. Be sure to come up with something interesting.

[forgingfires]

I suppose that would depend what you're interested in.

If you want him to learn to be patient, the first time would have to be merciful. Light. Something we can stop in a second.

Or if you want to see what he's like when he's mad (in a very fun way), that could be a real test of patience. I rather suspect if he goes into the deep end, he's going to quickly find a way to get control again.

[castaside]

When you've been around as long as I have, it's easier to list what you're not into, given the right circumstances. And I don't have very many of those.

Hm. Merciful and light isn't really my forte.

[forgingfires]

We will need to have a safe word system set up before this.

Just in case his mad tips over into not very fun.

But the fun way? Well, it was good I had healing magic, I legitimately couldn't walk after the fact.

He takes seeing another bite done in front of him as a challenge. I've very curious what he'd do when he wants both participants involved.

[castaside]

If you think it's best. [ Macaque is fairly confident that he can read MK's moods well enough, but if it makes things easier they can use code words. He's used to being pushed beyond his limits so might be too casual about it. ]

So long as he knows ahead of time that it's only play. I wouldn't want him to get the wrong idea from a bite... that said. I always enjoy seeing what MK does when the chips are down.

I'd enjoy seeing what you look like when he challenges me. The sounds you'd make watching us, the look on your face.

[forgingfires]

I do. It also helps reinforce it is only play. He has emotional control and assurance that its just an experiment gone wrong if he taps out, not something meant to make him feel left out for real.

But hopefully he doesn't, because MK when the chips are down is a sight.

It would be a wonderful show. I pin you down, you have to let me. Sure, you have to let anyone with the shadows, but you have to let me for pure brute strength. But MK? I think MK could physically match you for strength when he's worked up and in a challenging mood.

A boyfriend who could pin one of the strongest people on our planet is

[The message just kind of ends. There is definitely more soot on his ceiling.]

[castaside]

[ Macaque laughs when he sees the text cut off mid-sentence. Well, now. ]

I'm sure MK could make me do anything he wanted if he set his mind to it. If I tried to resist, it would only be a matter of time before he had me right where he wanted me.
