It's not much later, in Isabella's room, that she asks:

"So... is Alex really a dom?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Um. We don't need to, really. It's just. An idea."

"I'll mull it over." Pet pet. "What's the appeal? In comparison to regular sex, not in comparison to staring at a wall, that much I can figure out."

From:

msmage

"Well, it's... kind of exciting? Sorta subversive, like, I'm with a gorgeous dom who could be ordering me around but she's... not? Because she wants to not? It's hard to explain."

From:

eclipsi

"I can see that."

From:

msmage

"Yeah. Not everybody's thing. Or, not almost anyone's thing."

Scritch scritch. "Maybe sometime. I could see it being appealing if I were really mentally exhausted maybe."

"Mmhm," she says, leaning into the scritches.

Kiss.

Kissss!

"...it's really a shame Alex is ace, though, he's cute, he'd probably have a really easy time finding someone."

From:

eclipsi

"See, that's what I thought you were getting at early when I went all severe and said 'excuse me', it's not a 'shame' that he's not on the market."

Blink. "I didn't mean it like that!"

From:

eclipsi

"What did you mean it like?"

From:

msmage

"Well, like, it's a nice thing! I like belonging to you, it's nice to date and stuff. It's a shame in the same way, I don't know, lactose intolerance is a shame, because cheese tastes nice? It's one less nice thing he has. Which, I mean, granted, he doesn't particularly care that he doesn't have it, I suppose, but. I dunno."

"Alex would probably say that it's not particularly a shame that there are people who can't abide watching Nascars go round and round in circles, however much fun the fans have in the process."

"I suppose," she sighs. "Though it's not quite the same, relationships are kinda... a bigger deal? Than hobbies. But, yeah, I mean, you're right."

From:

eclipsi

"He views the entire enterprise with enough revulsion that I don't think he believes he's missing out, let alone that he's missing out on anything important. I suppose he might feel differently about how much harder it makes it to find especially close relationships but he has a twin."
