[There's an actual bitter smile in response.]

Nope. But we're not going to get into that right now. [Haha!] It doesn't matter, that was a long time ago.

That just makes me more interested.

...ask me again some other time, alright? I'm not really interested in killing the mood.

[ he’s thoughtful for a moment ]

... alright. I can wait.

["Keep waiting."

But there's a nod...and he moves to let Shiraishi follow.] So what'll it be today? I can suck you off if that's easiest.

[Does he care anymore about this? No, it's been weeks. This is just how things go now.]

[ oh, look at that. Yeah, after so many weeks it doesn't seem so strange to be just casually offering up sex for survival. ]

Is it easiest for you? I'm not against it.

I've gotten better at it. [It's easier to be clinical about it.] Plus it's cleaner.

[ i'm so sorry for what i'm about to type, ty. ]

Ah. Well that answers the unspoken question of what you do at the end.

[Just a look.] It's easier, that's all.

[A little gross, but easier.]

[ He gets a look back. ] Oh I think we're all long past judging what goes on behind closed doors, no?

No, I can still judge. [A grin.] But we're all in a shitty position so maybe it doesn't even matter.

[ he "hmms" under his breath. ]

Something like solidarity in a shitty position, hm? It's not as though we can do much about it.

The clamshells aren't picky. You can get someone off with your hand alone and it'll still be enough to save you. So, why do people go above and beyond? [A two-handed shrug, and it's not a real question.]

I'm still not convinced this isn't some sort of psychological test on top of being a game, too.

Maybe we just enjoy challenging ourselves. Or maybe it's just a little bit of fun we're indulging in, in the middle of all these incidents.

There'll be a psychological reasoning there, I'm sure.

Probably. [...he tilts his head curiously.] Are you one of the ones indulging a bit by now? Or are you still picking every single one of us apart?

I can do a little of both. Tokens are always handy, and you all make for such interesting psychological study. I'd be in trouble if I lost my touch with profiling, hm?

I meant more like indulging without even thinking of the tokens in mind. [Now that they're further in the library, he just sort of pushes Shiraishi against the shelves and lets his hands drift toward the waistband of his pants. Sure. Let's talk business while getting down to business.]

What've your studies told you so far though?

[ he shrugs. ] It's alright. Enjoyable in the expected ways.

Generally speaking we're all quite the independent, distrustful lot, aren't we?

That's what I'm seeing, and that's going to be the problem the longer we're here. [Which. Sucks.] But then again, building trust in this kind of situation is a problem itself isn't it?

When we don't know who's parading around in a skin suit, you mean?

Maybe start with a few trust falls and we'll work up from there. Anything would be better than nothing with us.

Could've phrased it better, but yeah. [He'll just work Shiraishi's pants open and slip his hand in, fingers light but purposefully just tracing lines for no reason than to touch.] I know you're probably being sarcastic but something like that might actually work with us.

I think it sums things up pretty well. The demon has control, doesn't it?

[ oh right. blowjob. his eye creases slightly in something like a flinch when he feels hands tracing around -- but if a flinch were... y'know. sensitive. ]

Oh? Who here would you trust to catch you?

Supposedly. Still doesn't mean I have to like it. [His hand pauses and he blinks at him curiously.] ...I can just use my mouth if you want? Or if you don't want me to touch you, we can switch.

[Reading it wrong? Sure.] I have a few people, but it's nothing worth mentioning. Most of them exist on this side.

No one said you had to. [ he waves a hand. ] It's fine. Just give a little warning -- you surprised me. [ (becks voice) oh right this was about sucking dicc ]

Good for you then, and for putting all those trust exercises into play.

[There's a slight smirk.] Sometimes it's good to keep people guessing. [But okay. He's a little less tentative with his hand, at least, but the movements are deliberate and slow all the same.]

There are still different levels of trust that can apply here. You can't say that people trust each other equally, can you?
