Good! I'll bring the wine.

(I won't, minors can't drink.)

The variety of things young adults are restricted from doing on this planet is a bit insane.

Yes. But well, I don't think you and I need to be any more uninhibited than we already are. Or, well, I don't.

You have a point there.

I tend to have those. Of course, we actually did not go all-out yesterday.

Hmm?

There's more stuff to try, is what I mean. Even just in terms of what we can do unassisted.

Unassisted as opposed to...? Should I be doing research?

A part of me wants to wait to see what you'll end up finding if you do research, but another part is afraid unguided research might end up scaring you away from experimentation forever.

You have so little faith in my courage, Sadde, what did I do to deserve this?

Hmm, well when you put it like that. Go ahead and do research and then tell me about it. I am still just seventeen, though, and finding people as enthusiastic as I am about certain things is pretty hard so a lot of my knowledge is merely theoretical.

And which things are you so enthusiastic about?

Well, I'm interested in trying almost anything out, but if we're doing a priority list, bondage would definitely be up there.

If you don't give me a priority list, how will I know what to research?

That's fair. BDSM at the top, probably, though of course there are more general types of implements and toys that might be better to start with, like vibrators.

That looks like a really broad category to be putting on top of the priority list.

My interests are broad! I could get into details and specifics if you like.

Please do.

Let's see, being tied up and then letting your creativity rule is an appealing idea, blindfolds optional. Paddles, clamps, rings, beads, various types of vibrators, mmmmaybe some electro. Bossing me around, edging, I've thought about hypnosis. Leather is sexy though I guess not necessarily related, handcuffs and whips. I'm probably forgetting stuff. And that's assuming I'll be more submissive, which is not a given, I'm very switch.

That's a more manageable research list...

...hypnosis, really?

Yeah!

Okay, I'm really curious about what the draw is on that one.

In spite of the list I wouldn't quite say masochism is the whole of the story. It's more to do with the domination aspect? The power and control thing. So the draw is being under complete control of someone I trust.

Does that imply Sadde trusts Ashras? Maybe.

I can sort of see that... and I'm flattered by the implications. Personally, hypnosis sounds terrifying from either end.

I think we have enough to occupy ourselves with even without that.
