[a shrug. does he need any other reason? six would probably want a better reason than just "knowledge" in exchange for the potential destruction of someone but... well, it's a great reason in rei's eyes.]
Your data would be greatly helpful for my research. Actually, I'd like a sample of your semen as well, but that can wait until after the demonstration.
[ ... No, that answer barely makes him feel any better. He stares at Rei without saying anything for the longest time, and then his expression becomes even more shocked at the man's next request. A flush quickly blooms on his cheeks, his ears dipping low. ]
My— [ No, he isn't even going to say it. ] And what exactly is your research for, again?
[ Listen, he just wants to know what exactly he's going to be agreeing to here!! But whether or not he'll get a straight answer is still up in the air. ]
Essence. More generically - magical energy. I can sense and gauge magical energy in semen, but it needs to be deposited inside of me for me to be able to accurately read it.
[said as if that isn't the most bizarre thing to most people.]
And a demonstration is necessary to compare the magical energy in your semen to the output and physical manifestation of that magical energy. The reading is only half useful otherwise.
[ Even when Six repeats it, the statement isn't made any less ridiculous. He should have ran instead of staying right where he is, because now it feels like he has nowhere to go. Rei has already proven that he'll remain persistent until he's able to satisfy his curiousity, so the erune weighs his options.
[oh this is getting promising! he's cracking under the pressure! good. rei certainly knows how to get what he wants.
he gives him A Look, though.]
Yes, and yes it needs to be inside. If you're getting shy now, you're not going to survive this place. Though, I suppose I have been curious as to what happens if you go without sex for a while. But that's a later study.
[oh, wait, maybe instead of shy, he's just uncertain?]
[ Whether or not he's into men isn't important in the grand scheme of things. It's more like how casual Rei is about this whole arrangement, but then again, he has been warned that this is the nature of the resort. He knows he's also pushing his luck by not partaking in those activities, so maybe this can potentially be mutually beneficial for him too.
Even with the mask on his face, it's easy enough to tell that he's heavily considering the other man's proposition. It doesn't help that the flower maze has been supplying them with a nice dose of pollen too, so— ]
Fine. You get a single demonstration. [ He looks around the area wearily. ] We should go someplace else.
[oh!! nice! like the cat that got the cream, rei is pleased that all his pressuring tactics worked.
and maybe if SOMEONE hadn't RUN INTO THE MAZE, they wouldn't be in this position. but whatever! rei leads them out, toward an open plain away from where the clusters of people in the gardens typically gather. it's just them, and rei is eagerly holding his notepad and pen.]
Is here good enough?
[also it's out of the way enough that rei can suck him off after. perfect! a two for one deal!]
[ Listen, Six had no intention of letting things come to this, but seeing as Rei is unnvervingly persistent, it's a lose-lose situation for him either way. At least now he gets to control what the other guy will see, even if this is still making him feel awkward. He doesn't want to cause a ruckus even if they're far away from other people.
What he shows is not even a fraction of what he can do, but it's flashy and quick. Duplicates made of shadows mimic his every move, cutting through blades of grass with efficiency and ease. Rei might be expecting so much more, but he doubts his rank will spare him from being reprimanded if he breaks anything. ]
[rei's jotting all this down. utterly fascinating. he can tell that it's likely a fraction - because that isn't nearly a devastating enough power to wipe out an entire clan. but! it is neat. and probably the most he can do without straight up killing him. rei would like to live for a little longer, so he's appreciative of the thoughtfulness.]
For now. I know you were holding back.
[he gives a cheeky smile then closes his notebook and unclicks his pen.]
Not to lecture you, I don't know your life and I don't know how this power works, but fear will only hinder your mastery over your ability. In general. For all I know, you were just cursed with a deadly weapon with no hope of overcoming its massive power.
[ It takes until he's done showing off for him to realize that Rei is paying attention with a notepad and pen. Truly, this man was serious that this was all for his observations and studies. At least he was honest about that.
He can only sigh upon hearing his next words, however. ]
... I'd rather not master it. It's better if this power remains forgotten.
[ Rationally, he knows that what Rei is saying is true, but the part of him that would rather not risk it is too convincing. ]
[rei doesn't trust anyone around him to not try to take advantage of such a formidable power if this were his own ability. but you know... he'd also be too curious and practice it endlessly for research. as evidenced by his behavior for the past. hour or so he spent chasing this guy down.]
I'm curious to know how that outlook has worked out for you. But I also don't really care that much.
[ Perhaps it is idealistic, naive. Six isn't exactly obtuse enough to not realize that his plan doesn't count as one at all, but it's all he has for the time being. It'll have to do. ]
... Does you have to do that today?
[ All that talk about essence and whatnot still makes no sense to him, so he might as well ask. I case this happens again in the future. ]
[ At the end of the day, Six doesn't care about it. It's mostly the fact that he has to do a sexual act with someone else, but he needs to get over that soon if he wants to survive in this place. ]
Perhaps next week.
[ Seven days should be enough to prepare and strengthen his heart. ]
[THEN WHAT'S THE ISSUE, MAN. is he just not attracted to rei? it's a possibility. maybe he's into bigger men. or smaller. still, turning down a free fuck? doesn't make sense to rei. but whatever, at least he got to see his power in action, and he won't push his luck for now.]
I'll remind you, so you best be serious about that.
[he types in a reminder on his watch. he then steps forward - again and again until he's up in six's space. he then tips six's chin up to steal a kiss, tongue and all if six will allow it, then steps away. rei licks his lips, the pupils of his eyes thinning.]
Interesting. Well - see you next week.
[with that, he turns and waves, resuming whatever experiment he was working on prior to The Chase of Six.]
[ Before Six can get a word edgewise, Rei captures his lips. How quickly his ears point all the way up is almost comical, and they start twitching as he struggles to push the other man away. That was his first kiss? That was his first kiss. And now it was taken away by someone who's been hounding him after being told about his power.
To say that he's flabbergasted is not quite enough. The red flush on his cheeks is too much, almost crawling down his neck too.
He doesn't bother saying anything else. Since Rei already left, he's going to hide away now too. What did he just get himself into... ]
