Cor's boyfriend awards him titles and chaste kisses.

Maybe today less chaste kisses.

Oh?

Kisses are nice.

"- I maybe want to know more things about what you kink on and how that might be relevant."

"I was very satisfied with our sex life before my confession."

"...that's good to know but not what I asked."

"The thing is power. Doesn't have to all run in one direction, definitely doesn't have to be - nonconsensual - I'm fine without it, but that's what it is."

"I don't think I can model it from that description."

"Hmmm. I'm really not sure how to - I rule a continent, I could have whoever I want, I want you, the fact the first two things are true improves the experience for me."

"I guess that could motivate some things."

"I could maybe sort things in terms of what if anything I get out of them, if you have things in mind."

"- for certain values of 'could have whoever you want' that's not necessarily true. I could've left."

"You can any time. It's more an aesthetic thing than a descriptive one."

"So most of the fun is that we're, like, in your palace surrounded by people who answer to you and it is by your whim that I am having a pleasant afternoon? Except for the part where I am very dangerous."

"Yes. And all of that is fun including the part where you are very dangerous. It would be less fun if you were not dangerous."

"Findekáno wasn't allowed to be dangerous."

"No, see, he was, and then a civil war happened."

"I did mean after that."

"After that it didn't matter what was fun I had to have all the power or everything might collapse on me."

"I'm trying to figure out why it was - fun enough to do at all - to handle a captive like you did."

"The watching-interesting-people-under-pressure, the power things are still fun when it's all one way if less fun, the - self-destructiveness of it - and I told myself he wasn't that unhappy -"

"...I'd expect it to be more challenging for you than most people to fool yourself about that."

"I knew exactly what was going on in his head but I don't - experience depression if I model engaging with someone who's depressed -"

"...no, but you were telling yourself something about his experience, not yours."

"It's easy to think that once you understand what someone's thinking you understand what they're experiencing, I mean."
