John giggles and sputters a little. "Okay, sure," he says, grinning. He isn't fully sure that this will work (Rosy is very cozy to snuggle, but even naked he's not getting turned on about it) but it does sound at least like a good way to pass the time. He wriggles closer to her and gives her a big kiss on her forehead, arms still wrapped around her. 

Cozy wiggles!!

"If we end up just snuggling until it's time to get properly ready for bed I will also call that a win," she clarifies. "Of course I will also call it a win if you wake me up in the middle of the night to make me suck your dick. There are countless possible victories available."

...hot. But also "I, um," he stutters a little. "Would that really be okay? I don't want to interrupt your sleep or anything." And it would be super selfish. Even if he can do things like that now, he doesn't want to be evil. (It is really hot, though, thinking about it...) 

"I mean, if you specifically woke up in the middle of the night in order to wake me up in the middle of the night and use me, that might be a little silly, but I wouldn't object. And if you happened to be up in the middle of the night anyway and wanted your slave to wake up and serve you, that would just be straightforwardly hot."

It would be silly if he did that, but he wasn't intending to. "But... don't you need your sleep, though?" he asks? "I... I guess... I don't know. I don't want to be mean to you" that's a lie "or like... I don't want to do bad things to you even if they would be hot? I'm probably not making sense." He buries his face in Rosy again. 

"Surely I don't need my sleep any more than you do. I would be in a position to complain if you actually kept me up at night regularly enough for long enough to make my life more difficult, but you probably can't secure permission for regular enough sleepovers to do that, unless you ordered me to wake up at midnight every night and have an orgasm in your name, which is hot enough that I'm thinking fondly of the idea even though on balance I think it's unwise."

That is really hot, now that she mentions it, though of course it's a bad idea (and Rosy agrees). He still wants to give her a quick delighted kiss about it, though, and does just that. But then he says. "Yeah, I don't think that would be a good idea at all. Even if it would be hot." And even if she'd have to do it even if it were a bad idea, if he told her to. Which he isn't going to do. "I guess you're right about the sleepover thing, though. One bad night is... probably okay? It still feels impolite, though. Even if you are my slave now." He sighs. It is the kind of thing he wants to be doing, and Rosy is okay with it... "I guess I could try doing it, though, if you're okay with it." Which she did just say she was, but still important to give her an out. Just in case.

"I am definitely okay with sleeping poorly on rare occasions in trade for getting to serve you like that. —oh, speaking of serving you, you know what we've forgotten to do? We've forgotten to officially end scene. We just sort of... gradually snuggled our way out."

Oh, fuck. "Shit, sorry," he says, feeling awful for having forgotten. "Um, exuent omnes," he says. "That was right, right? Sorry for forgetting." Damnit, he's supposed to be responsible for this sort of thing. Shit. 

"It's 'exeunt' but that's close enough, I anticipated a need for pronunciation leeway. It's okay! I think there was never a specific moment when we were definitely done and you don't have to feel bad for being in that situation. I was also in that situation and reacted the same way."

Right but he's the one who's supposed to be in charge, and so it's his responsibility. "Still," he says, "I should have noticed or something. Sorry. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again." 

"Okay. I love you. ...do you want help making sure it doesn't happen again?"

"Er, how, exactly?" John asks? (Something about this seems familiar, though he can't exactly remember what.) 

"Like... thinking of what to do differently next time so we notice we're sliding out of a scene without a clear endpoint."

"I mean, I guess just notice and do it, right?" (They had some kind of similar conversation before, he's realizing.) "I mean..." man what can he do, other than actually just notice better. "Okay, I... do you have suggestions, then?"

"I'm thinking... nothing has actually gone wrong because we forgot to clear the stage during our extensive post-fuck snuggles. So what if we try to make a habit of noticing the first time we make some kind of actual change of plan or scenery, after a scene - like if I got up to go to the bathroom, or if we decided it should be bedtime and we should brush our teeth, or if I spontaneously took you on a manic tour of the house - and when we notice that, when we notice that we just had kinky mind control sex and are now definitely Doing Something Else, we should officially end scene?"

"I... guess that makes sense?" John says. It still seems like Not Good Enough, like he should have noticed sooner and done things faster (why didn't he?) but nothing did go wrong, and he can't really think of what would go wrong (he ends up hurting her and the house doesn't intervene? But he'd never do that) so this is probably fine? It still doesn't sit quite right with him though.

"It seems like a good start. To be refined further once we see how it works out in practice."

"Okay," John agrees. He snuggles her close again. He also suddenly realizes that, similarly, he really should remember to do the opening call-and-response with her if he does end up doing any nightly escapades like the one she suggested. As well as the closing phrase, at the end. Well, he can do that. (These are the right things to do for a variety of reasons, but he wishes it wasn't quite so complicated.)

Snuggles!

John snuggles her back, rolling things over in his head. He's excited and elated (and turned on) but still worried and maybe scared (and feeling like there's so much he has to do right now, which is what he wanted but it still feels like a burden even though it shouldn't and he should stop feeling like that). Rosy is a comforting presence, though, and this helps with at least some of his more concerned thoughts. But the weight of what they just did (making her his slave) is really hitting him now, both in the hot ways (she's his and he can make her do anything he wants, and she's really into it and wants him to) but mostly not so hot ones (he's responsible for her now, he can't do anything wrong, he can't hurt her (except in ways she wants to be hurt, and there are quite a few of those~), he can't take advantage of her, and he needs to make sure his orders aren't accidentally bad or anything like that). It's a lot to think about and deal with. He keeps trying to think about the positives (and Rosy being a comforting presence is helping), but his mind keeps wandering back to how he messed up remembering the exit phrase (and even said it wrong!) and how he can't mess up like that now that he has power over her. 

And plus, he really feels like he should be doing something with her, but he isn't sure what. She seems content enough, snuggling him cozily, head resting against or on him (depending on how they occasionally reposition), but it still feels like he's wasting her time (and his, though that's less important) with doing nothing instead of doing something hot and fun. (Plus something hot and fun would take his mind off of all these things he doesn't want to be dwelling on at the moment.) But he can't think of anything to do, and he isn't feeling it (at least partly because of all the complicated thoughts in his head), despite the fact that he's literally snuggled up with a hot girl who is actually his mind controlled slave that he can do whatever he wants to (except he can't, because it matters what he does to her now, because she can't stop him). He finds himself wishing he could read the rest of his book (or play a game on his phone, even, though he's spent enough time looking at his phone screen today already and it would be bad to do the easy thing like that) as a distraction, but he can't just abandon Rosy like that when he should be doing things with her (he can, of course, but he really shouldn't that's the point), so there's little to do but keep snuggling her and clinging to her for the positive feelings she brings. And try and think of something good to do. 

"Turmoil, beloved?"

John sighs. "I can't think of anything good to do right now," he summarizes (poorly). Possibly he should go into more detail (she might notice and ask for more detail, she's good at that), but he doesn't feel like getting into detail at the moment (even though some of him knows he really should, Rosy is good at helping). 

Nuzzle. "Should I get you your book?"

Wouldn't that be taking away from doing things with her, though? (But also, it's what he's been hoping for, even though it's not something he deserves in this moment, when he should be doing things with Rosy.) "I, guess?" he says. "I feel like I should do something with you, though. Not on my own."
