Seems we're always straightening things out (Frederico, Estaban) - Frederico's Haven

He smiled back.

"Oh, by the way, while I am thinking of things you enjoy, As fun as it will be to seduce Areron, you should look at her brother and ghoul Thalion. He is wild, hungry to get closer to kindred society and balances masculine and feminie as few can do. Oh, and absolutely gorgeous."

His brows rose.

"I'm surprised you haven't jumped on that opportunity, my son."

He smiled.

"I know you know why father."

He shook his head.

"Actually, I don't. Are you a man or a slave?"

He laughed.

"I am a man in love."

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"No. You are a slave. Not a man."

He smiled.

"Because i do not have sex with others? Because I devote myself to one body?"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"Because you are afraid to upset her."

"Ah, so it is fear that makes you a slave. and what if it isnt fear but love, wanting to make her happy."

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"Slavery of another sort. It's still fear, just with a different sort of meaning behind it. It is the fear that comes from being in love that makes you weak."

He raised an eyebrow.

"And why would you say this is a love that makes you weak"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"You want to make her happy, giving up what it is that you want and enjoy. Weak. Pathetic, actually."

"And if being only with her makes me happy? Does that still make me pathetic father?"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

His lips twitched into a smile.

"Yes. Since we both know that's not what makes you truly happy."

He raised an eyebrow.

"I do not know that. I do not know that at all."

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"I do. Because of your reactions."

Raised an eyebrow.

"My reactions tell you i am not enjoying being with ra'i?"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

He nodded.

"Yes."

He looked curious.

"And how do you get that out of my reactions father?"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

"Because you deny yourself, not because you do not want to indulge, but because you are afraid that it will upset her. If you were enjoying yourself that much, you wouldn't want to indulge."

He raised an eyebrow.

"And what makes you think i want to indulge?"

"The way you hold yourself. The way you look, despite having one of the most beautiful women in the city at your fingertips. It's subtle, but it's there."

He thought for a moment. His father had caught him off guard. He thought this would be the same old be cause I said so argument. But he respected his fathers ability to read body language.

"Are you sure what you are reading is there and it isnt just your.. personal feelings on the matter?"

Methuselah Posts : 1959 Join date : 2010-11-26

He leaned against the wall and looked his son over.

"Yes, I am certain. I had feared that would be the case; that my own thoughts and feelings on the matter would color what I saw. Which is why I asked Rosita, who cares much less than I, to look as well. And I watched more carefully, more critically, than I usually do, just to make certain I did not read you wrong."

He frowned.

"I.. I thought I had conquerred those needs. I do have the most amazing woman in the city. I appreciate your telling me. I will need to get that under control."
