Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

He gets a kiss on the other side. We're safe here unless we're very very loud, I have a known preference servants not come in my rooms.
It is a very big bed, rather excessively so for even a very tall Elf. It is a good size for activities that might involve a lot of flailing and giggling.

That's convenient!
Now, Kib is curious if there is a back-of-his-neck equivalent anywhere on Findekáno.

There is probably nothing that strong or he would probably have discovered it but this is very nice. And this is very nice.
Does Kib have an idea of what he likes in bed because they can do a very thorough survey but they can also jump to things that seem appealing, a thorough survey will be very time-consuming...
secondchance
Kib has vague guesses! But he didn't know about the neck thing and the neck thing is really important so they should probably do surveying too.
At this point the door opens. Findekáno should really have heard footsteps but was distracted, and still is, and is blindly panicked for half a second before he sees Maitimo.
Maitimo looks rather dangerously angry.

Kib outright falls off the bed in surprise, grabs the nearest pillow for modesty, and makes a noise that sounds like "glurk?"
Hi! Findekáno says privately. Calm down, you're going to scare him, if you're angry with me you can be angry with me in some fashion that doesn't scare him -
Eighteen!
It gave me pause so I, unlike you, talked with him about it, and then was satisfied - Maitimo please calm down you are looking very scary and your mortal will be scared -

Do you know what he said to me about you? 'There are probably more delicate ways to tell someone they're repulsive and ought to die alone but, you know, what's important is that the sentiment was unambiguously communicated.'
Maitimo stops looking angry and starts looking as if he has been slapped.

My boyfriend, Findekáno says, should probably just apologize for interrupting and turn around and leave but he has a serious crush on you so he is going to stand there looking astonished instead. If you'd rather I talk him down in the next room for your privacy's sake I can do that.
secondchance
Your boyfriend. This is your boyfriend. Who you told me would not mind if you kissed me. Are we in his room? Do you even like me or were you just setting me up as a present? What the fuck, dude?
I didn't expect he'd be upset I kissed you because of your age, I thought he trusted me a little more than that. He's not upset I kissed you because he thinks he gets a say broadly over who I kiss. I like you a lot but probably would not have acted on it if Maitimo'd shown any signs he was inclined to, because he gets crushes much less frequently than me. But once he'd decided he'd just not apologize to you and spend the next century moping-
Maitimo were you ever going to get around to asking Kib out.
My father might have immortality worked out, Maitimo says. So maybe eventually.
Would it have been more or less than a century.
He's eighteen and our guest and foreign culture and power imbalance and eighteen Findekáno I don't -
