Dao blushes some more!

"Then - we would have to talk about that, I guess?" says Beila slowly. "Do you want to - like, actually in real life want to?"

"I definitely in-my-dreams want to," he says. "And, you know, it is a thing that could hypothetically happen. If you were okay with it and everything - I'm not going to cheat on you either. And I'm not completely sure that I would actually try it even if you were. But - now I'm thinking about it."

"I guess I'd have to think about whether I'd be okay with it," says Beila after a pause.

"Okay," says Dao, continuing to blush.

"It's really very cute when you blush."

"So you've said!"

"This isn't a dealbreaker, right? If I say 'no, do not sleep with people who aren't me' we don't have a serious relationship problem on our hands?"

"Um... probably not, I guess?" he says.

"...Can you elaborate on that?"

"I can't think of a reason why it would be, especially since I'm not sure I would try to sleep with anybody else even if you said I could," he says. "But I don't know for sure, I haven't really thought about it yet."

"Okay. Keep me posted, please, if you do think about it."

"Of course."

Nuzzle!

Snuggle! Snuggle snuggle. Beila is snuggly.

"That... is true," says Dao. "Should we talk about that?"

"Maybe." In a tone that means obviously.

"Wow, yes, let's talk about that," says Dao.

She laughs and nuzzles him again. "It is something that could happen. I love you, you know."

"Yes, I do know that! I love you too," he says. "Sleeping with people who are you sounds like a great idea."

"That sounds like consensus to me."

Dao beams.
