Greetings to you, as well. [His tone is warm, a little amused. Honestly he maybe got a little giddy from being called handsome.]
I don't know what needs you mean. My quota is...not complete, with this damnable doubling, but I can still complete it, I'm not entirely failing. Perhaps you can help me complete it.
[and we're just ignoring the head thing lol surely he will get away with this scott-free!]
I'd be more'n happy to help fill any gaps you've got, your company's pleasant. As for needs- as in basic goods, things you might be having a harder time shopping for without a contract, that sort. Checking mind, body, and heart's all.
Though don't think I didn't notice you skipping one of those. I'll circle back.
[There's a time when Seg would have been terribly tempted by that joke right there. The one about gaps that need filling.]
Ah, I have been able to acquire the basic things I need, sometimes with a little help.
[You can circle back all you want, Seg's going in straight lines!]
I think I'm as well as can be expected. Regarding these gaps [he couldn't leave it there forever] I must admit to a growing curiosity about these bedroom games. Kink, in the city's parlance.
Are you? Very good use of a fun time as well as self-discovery, intimacy, and clearing your head when it's full of shite. That's usually what I like for it.
[Well, that and his control issues, but it's fine.]
What part's caught your eye? Or do you have other questions on it?
I do, yes. There's all kinds of rope tricks to be had, some for restraint, some for the decoration. You can use it for comfort or discomfort or the mix between people crave.
I'll admit, for me it holds appeal for the control offered, but I know those I tie like the safety of not needing to be in control or the feeling of having someone take care of them or dedicate their attention to them wholly.
It's a versatile taste. Would you be interested in trying bondage? If you found you didn't like it, there'd be no expectation to finish the scene.
[He sounds a little hesitant about it, maybe understandably so. He's dipping a toe into the water, here, checking the temperature to see if he likes it. It's a pool he's never been in, after all.]
I may...if it's all right, I...hm.
[He's a fairly reserved man, but he's so rarely really lost for words.]
I don't know whether this sort of thing would be possible with my braces on. I think you've felt the rough shape of them, what do you think?
[He gives that the careful consideration it needs, his mind visualizing the shape of what he'd noticed under Seg's clothes.]
I think...if we were careful and kept regular checks, it could be done. Non-traditional ties could hold the same effect and pressure in certain spots could keep discomfort at bay.
And...if you wanted to keep your clothing on as well, that would be doable.
[There's a beat as he picks his words. This isn't easy for his friend, he's sure, but there were parts of this that felt a bit like it needed careful coaxing.]
If we were to do this, it'd be no different in anything else we'd do in that there's no obligation. This sort of thing isn't for everyone, but I think it's worth a try.
[He nods to himself and gives a small smile. He doesn't doubt this is a show of trust and it deserves that level of respect.]
One new thing at a time and the removal of clothing can be as simple a thing as you like.
I'm going to do what research I can into how best to use ropes for your benefit, but I'll be happy to take that up with you whenever you'd like, my schedule's very open.
I was thinking the opposite, perhaps. So as to free up our options for the tying, perhaps assess what might work.
[There's a tension in his voice. Chris will be the first person he willingly lets see him naked, the debacle at the aquarium notwithstanding. It's a lot, but he's always known he was going to have to do it sometime. And Chris is a healer, is he not? It might be no different than seeing a physician. (It will be, but it's easier to pretend.)]
I do think it might be easier if there was no expectation of quota, for the clothing part. Perhaps leaving that to the tying.
I agree. We could frame it in or with something else for your ease, if it'd help. A bath or something with less potential contact, if your mind would benefit from a distraction.
[Otherwise, it might just be Chis staring at him while he undresses. Fine for Chris, probably less comfortable for Seg.]
Alternatively, I could be pretending to do something else if my undivided attention would be too much.
I think what I was picturing is myself undressing while you wait elsewhere, then coming to me naked, but covered, so I can reveal at my own pace. Perhaps in the bed in your...what should we call it, play room?
You would be allowed to touch me, if you wanted, but I likely wouldn't be in the mood for sex anyway.
[It...almost sounds nice, to be honest. Someone just looking at his scars, touching them, accepting them. Accepting him, as he feels oddly sure Chris will.]
That sounds lovely. I'd be more'n happy to do it that way.
[He liked the idea of touching as he could, maybe pressing kisses where he would. A little light body worship to warm up to the idea in time, but nothing too insistent or pressing.]
At your leisure, handsome. My door is open to you.

How's your needs?
How's your quota?
How's your head?
[Maybe not in that order, but still.]

I believe you mentioned an affection for tying others up, at some point.

[Phew. He's not ready to take that step with everyone, but Chris has earned some trust.]
I do think the tying and the first removal of clothing should be on different days, perhaps. One new thing at a time, yes?
