reality bites

The reality of the situation was hammered home as Ember explained that there really wasn't any getting away from Raiden. The nephilim didn't know if he could deal with it for the rest of his life, but he also knew had no choice in the matter. "Thanks for the.. reassuring words.." he muttered sarcastically around the rim of the bottle before taking a swig. "How long have you belonged to him?" He asked curiously. "He'll probably get sick of me pretty quickly honestly, so if I do disappear, he probably has eaten me." The thought made him sick to his stomach but he tried to hide any hint of fear that his body language was likely giving away.

"Sure." He said, he's not sure if it would help in the long run, Raiden was more than anyone could ever truly handle. Handling did mean survival, so far he's managed to make it for the few years he belonged to the councilman. "Few years, surprised myself that he hasn't gotten rid of me yet. Think he enjoys the snark, and doing whatever he wantes to shut me up." He shrugged, he couldn't and wouldn't try to figure out the thinking process of his master. "Trust me, if he plans to do that to you he'll make sure I'm around to see it. So don't do anything to make that happen, okay?" Ember's only concern ever was himself, that wouldn't change no matter how many slaves Raiden decided to own.

Hwan shrugged. His ideas had been called far worse. "How else can I be certain you don't want to be eaten?" he asked, sarcasm dripping from his words. "Do you have any better ideas about what I should do for dinner?"

"Not eat birds, to start." He huffed, he looked at him wondering if he's ever gone a long while before eating another person. "There's plenty of food places around here. Could even get something from the club and get your rocks off with a dancer."

The temperature didn't bother Raiden. Not outside or in the shower. He preferred cold to warm, the region the castle was built on his home long before Krovs was uttered on any tongue. He spent a long time in the area now known as Siberia, before traveling around the world. It wasn't a big place for a dragon of his size. He had no real preference when it came to land. Anyone where a war could be fought.

As much as he liked to pretend those words had no affect on him the reality of it was different. Especially coming from him, it meant something even if it meant nothing to his master. It boosted his need for praise in all the worst ways, he only moves when he needs to allowing the bigger man to tower over him. Blocking him into the shower as the water ceased to crash down onto his bare skin. Raiden this close took over all of his sense, his thoughts, he knew what was to come the moment he was scented.

"You got five and then you're ass better be in the shower." Raiden growled to ember. He gave him the time because he had to take his new dog outside since it was still a puppy and he'd already finished up with Alasdair. Raiden was good at time management. He bulldog outside and was letting sniff around the yard. The thing tiny compared to his large size as he waited patiently for the dog to do its business and played with it for a short time before scooping it up in his arms and loving on the puppy as he brought it in. He fed it watching it eat and then let it decompress for a bit as he moved off to see if Ember was where he should be as he walked into the bathroom to see if the former slave was undressing and getting in the shower. The bathroom was large with a walk-in shower framed in glass big enough to house him and another body easily. He started stripping off his own clothing having spent a good amount of time at the club trying to keep an indignant half demon out of it. In all actuality he was really hoping the little shit fucked up again so he got put in the undercroft, would save him some fucking time.

Five minutes seemed very generous, something he would take full advantage of while he had the chance. As soon as those minutes were up he was moving. He knew better than to test him so soon after his shift. He was tired, and not feeling up to dealing with whatever punishment he could think up for his lip. Once he left the couch he moved straight to the bathroom. A large space that left enough room for them both to move around comfortably. He had the water running as he removed his work clothes from his body feeling already better out of them. By the time Raiden joined him in the bathroom he was already in the shower, under the hot spray of water. He always liked it when it was very hot against his skin with how often it was cold around the village it was a nice reprieve.

Khion opened his mouth, paused, and then closed it with lips pursed together slightly. He wasn't 100% sure his junk would recover fully from being melted with his accelerated healing factor. He'd never had (and didn't want) the opportunity to test seeing if he could regrow parts.

"I could fondle you if that's what you want. If you want to have a hard dick in such a small cage." He said, looking him over, it would have been a nice sigh to see even if he couldn't do much about taking it off himself. "Probably was, he's got the look of a guy who would put a bird in a cage." He shook his head, feeling safe enough to have avoided anything too horrid. "I mean, anything I think I end up spitting out. Not like I hide much of what I think anyways."

The nephilim knew very little about Raiden's other slave, but honestly, it wasn't like he'd made much of an effort to actually get to know him. He didn't know if friends were a good thing in a place like Krovs -- if family members could be whisked away from you with no word of warning, then what was the point in getting close to anyone? He eyed Ember for a moment as the phoenix approached him holding some beers in his hands. "Uh, hey.. sure.. thanks," Alasdair said softly as he took one of the bottles and raised an eyebrow slightly at the question. "How do you think I'm doing?" He asked rhetorically. "Raiden's fucking crazy. Worse than crazy."

He couldn't help but laugh a little knowing exactly how he felt as he felt the same way back when. Almost felt like forever ago that he had been in the others same shoes. Although things have shifted, they still felt entirely the same. His life was Raiden's no matter how far away he got from the castle. A reality he had to take a while to fully wrap his head around. "Worse than is right. Now you're his for forever or until he gets bored and eats you." He said bluntly, might as well be honest when it came to their situation. There was no way out while remaining alive, he remembered what happened to the other slave Raiden had owned. "But, you aren't alone in this now. Need anything at all let me know, okay?"
