" - I bet she'll be jealous if you say that to her. Just so you know." He pauses a moment, thinking. "Abadar kept - sending you snippets of my thoughts, to try to make us closer -"

"I was not going to say that to her! Not for a long time, in any case, in the long run it - seems bad, not to tell her important things about my life. Anyway. Yes, Abadar did do that. I was not sure at the time if it bothered you, Abadar seemed to think it would not but he has never been human, so..." 

"I - have to rely on Him more than I'm accustomed to to have not done it while I was thinking about any state secrets that you didn't know, but assuming I can rely on Him for that - and I probably can, it'd just never occurred to me to evaluate before because He actually doesn't intervene much at all in the running of the state - 

- I'm very glad you trust me. It's worth a lot to me. I'm not really planning to give you the opening habitually because it'd be really really - warping, I think - but I'm glad that it was able to get us here. I don't know if this suggests anything about how to trust her more? Probably you could make a Velgarth artifact that'd let you read her and ask her if she'd take it, then it'd be straightforward enough for her to take it off if she changed her mind..."

"Well, if our date goes well then I will maybe ask her. I think it is a weird thing to ask for and I am worried about throwing too many weird things at her at once, she was so startled by Iomedae turning up in our conference room to save time on multiple people all going to yell at Her separately." 

"She was in the Chelish army, which routinely mindread all its members for disloyal thoughts, she might have negative associations with it but I'd expect her to think it's the opposite of weird."

"Right. That is good to keep in mind." 

Leareth leans into Khemet's arms. "I missed you." 

"Missed you too." He leans over to nibble Leareth's ear. "Does it ruin the tying people up if there's no magic free demiplane and they absolutely might figure out how to make you stop it."

Leareth has to consider that for a moment. A longer moment because he's now distracted. "No, I do not think it would ruin it."  

"Huh. ...Hold Person."

–Leareth was somehow not expecting that at all even though it's, in hindsight, rather predictable, and he's very surprised - not in a bad way, actually a rather pleasant way - and he instinctively brute-force resists it for a moment, which is definitely not going to work, and then relaxes and starts methodically looking for a weak point in the spell he can snip through.

Not too hurriedly, though, because he's curious what Khemet is even going to do now. 

Well, distract him, obviously. Leareth has far more combat-suited magic so he needs to make sure he is not able to focus on using it, which he's quite good at but there are some clothes in the way, though if he gets fifteen seconds there'll be much less of them.

Leareth does not find a way out of the spell in fifteen seconds, although he does find the concentration to defend some of his clothes with a mage-barrier in the way to at least make it inconvenient for Khemet, so he can narrow his search of places to get out of the spell - it's a really lovely distraction though - mage-sight is overlearned enough that he doesn't need a lot of concentration for it but it means he's doing the search in pretty much the least efficient way. 

Does he even want to succeed if while he is failing he's so delightfully distracted.

It wouldn't be very much fun if he wasn't trying to succeed, surely. 

- oh, there, weak spot in the spell. Leareth tries not to give any indication that he's found it, and just in case he gave some indication anyway because this is Khemet, he waits fifteen seconds. This is not exactly a hardship.

...gather all his concentration, which is very challenging... 

And then he snaps free of the spell and in about a tenth of a second, it's much easier to cast once he can move, he throws a not especially elegant but nonetheless powerful force-net around Khemet and pins him in place. He's grinning and breathing hard, this is excellent. 

He did not really prepare spells for this particular use case this morning though he can activate the one that makes everyone around throw themselves to the floor convinced they're in the presence of a god.

Leareth is tempted to think that this is kind of cheating but it's also quite clever - which is extremely attractive - he tries to resist it anyway–

He can resist it. Maybe he has an advantage because he's not tempted to throw himself to the floor in the startlingly-routine-these-days presence of actual gods.

This is true! (On some level Leareth feels like it would have been really hot if the spell had worked, but not if he hadn't even been trying.) 

He kisses Khemet, while adjusting his force-net to a more convenient spell that closer imitates Hold Person and won't annoyingly get in his way. Are Khemet's clothes still in the way such that he has to fix that too? 

They are! He didn't have enough time to strip both of them.

Leareth will take care of that for him! And return the favour on the previous delightful distraction (while maintaining awareness that Khemet is, perhaps, going to try something else.)  

Almost all Golarion magic requires you to be free to move your hands, actually - it's possible to learn how to do it without that but he never picked it up. He will just have to enjoy himself until Leareth lets up his guard enough that he can move his hands.

Then Leareth will keep making sure he enjoys himself until it feels like it'd be more interesting if Khemet could do additional things. At which point he loosens the trap-spell without entirely releasing it, just to see how much Khemet can manage with limited movement. And how long it'll take him to notice when Leareth is making himself very, very distracting. 

Once he notices he can cast Waves of Ecstasy and see who's more distracted then.

Leareth is definitely not capable of doing any more magic now!

The existing spell on Khemet is stable on its own and doesn't need ongoing concentration from him, though he's no longer feeding any power into it so it'll come apart at some point in the next few minutes when it runs out. Sooner if Khemet puts more strain on it, probably. 

He should probably be sure to fight his way out of it and tie Leareth up before Waves of Ecstasy wears off or who knows what Leareth will come up with next.
