"Am I not enough?"

"That's not what it's about. It's - "

"Asking me if my wife is enough is like asking me if water is enough. To slake my thirst, it is - but I can't breathe it, and I can't eat it, and it won't clothe me."

"She's wonderful for everything she is to me, but she isn't, herself, everything - that's not something a person can be, not while they remain the sort of being one can love the way I love her."

Disconsolate mrrr.

"Amajina adores you," she says, gently. "She wouldn't leave you for someone else."

"I don't-"

"What do I do? She shouldn't- shouldn't starve."

"Ultimately, that's something you and her need to decide together."

"Talk to her, is my advice. Let her know - you won't leave her, and neither will you starve her. Offer to help her figure out what she needs, and help her figure out how to meet that."

"Tell her your needs, too, throughout all this. Talk to her about why you're jealous, and what she can do to help you with that, and what she can do to help you feel more secure in your relationship, and the like. Even if you can't think of those yourself... She'll have ideas, once she feels secure enough - so let her be part of the solution for both your problems. And that'll help her, too - it's... For all three of us, we've found it's very, very important to be useful to those we love."

"And, Elieyha... You shouldn't starve, either."

"Okay."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"And I can be a sounding board, too."

"I want to- talk to her first."

"Reasonable." Soft smile.

Nod.

She does want to get to know Elieyha, too, so she'll keep up a bit of questions and chatter about more inconsequiential things for as long as Elieyha doesn't seem bothered, then excuse herself with an invite to stop by their suite whenever. 

And after, Elieyha goes to find Amajina to flop all over her.

Snugs! "Hey darling."

"Hey."

"Love you."

Kiss. "Love you, too."

Mrrr this is hard.

"I like hurting you," she starts, "but- I only want to do it in ways I know about and you agree with. So. If you- need more. Need more than me. I want you to have it. Her. Whoever."

...Awww.

She hugs Elieyha, putting her cheek on her shoulder. "Thanks. That - really really means a lot."

"I don't want to hurt you in ways you dislike either, though? And - dunno. It's not - "

Pause.

"I really like Elaise, and I have for a really long time, but... Dunno it's..." She's clearly struggling. "...Saying I need more seems - an off framing, but I dunno how to say it right." Shrug. "That and - not wanting to get told no or make you more jealous - is why I haven't brought it up."

Hug.

"Not gonna tell you no."

"Don't want you to feel jealous or ignored or anything either, though."

Hug.

"If the only one who's allowed to hurt you is me, then- then I don't mind so much about the rest. If you want to kiss Elaise, that's fine."

Nuzzle. "Don't want her hurting me like you do, anyways - sparring with her's fun, but I like being able to hit back. Holding me down and making me helpless and hurting me..."

"That's something I only want with you. I like Elaise, too, but in - silly giggly ways."

"Good. That part of you stays mine."

Kiss. "Always."

Kiss.
