My human agent needed more questions from me and probably more personal conversations. “I…I am not used to addressing my private thoughts to anyone else.”
No.
“That sentence was wrong.” He was distracting.
Before I could try again, he shook his head. “It wasn’t wrong. It was just not structured how we would casually say it. Language changes over time, so at one point it was probably the best way to say it. I understood what you were saying, though.”
Reminding myself that I was getting better at his language, I performed snuggling against him and gave him a pleased sound when he tightened his hold on me again. “I like being right.”
That got a laugh from my human agent, but he hugged me tighter, so I didn’t mind. “I think that’s cute, but you’re not going to beat yourself up over it.”
“Is this an appropriate place to respond with ‘Yes, Sir’ or should that wait?” It was a half-serious question and half to practice teasing him, so I was glad when he could not seem to decide if he wanted to laugh or moan.
“If you were fucking with me about that I’m going to chuckle and say it’s up to you. If you were completely serious, the moan was what you should focus on.” His tone was clearly pleased and what the books would call lighthearted, so I knew I’d done well.
“The submissive in my current book would give you a vague answer and shrug.” The ones who wanted to manipulate their Doms and Daddies did that a lot.
Oh.
He made a very dragon sound, nearly a growl, and tightened his hold on me. “The subs in your books would also end up apologizing very sweetly for being naughty.”
In a variety of ways.
“Do you believe in apologies or punishments?” That seemed to vary greatly with the Dominants in books. “The locals on the other side of the portal are very…permissive Daddies.”
What would he be?
“It depends on the situation, but for teasing bratty behavior I would definitely encourage apologies.” He must’ve realized I liked that answer because he chuckled. “If you want a spanking as a punishment that would be something we could talk about, but my first choice is to use spankings as something fun.”
Playing pretend with punishments was called a funishment…I had read about those.
“I found some types of books that use spankings as punishments but I could not relate to them.” It was confusing. “I wondered if that was because those seemed to be in mostly books with a human female being paired with one or more males.”
It was nice to be able to clarify my thoughts with someone who would not overshare in confusing ways or find my topics distressing.
My human made a thinking sound before shrugging. “I haven’t read enough of those types of books to have a strong opinion, but I think your reaction is more about how you see spankings than the male or female aspect.”
“The books with the same relationships can differ in significant ways.” I’d worried my mate would be on a completely different end of what had been called a spectrum, but that did not seem to have been a rational fear.
Mates were always compatible as the dragons of Earth continued to remind themselves.
“That’s where compromise and discussions come in. Even if we’re very different, we’ll figure out the places where we have the most in common and focus on those.” My human agent paused for a few moments before making the thinking sound that indicated he wanted feedback of some sort. “As long as you’re looking for a relationship, that is.”
Oh.
Yes, that needed to be discussed at some point…he was human, after all.
“I am still learning about the ways humans of Earth have relationships, but yes, I would like to have a relationship with you.” Humans constantly reminded themselves and others that going slow was a good way to handle pairing with someone, but I wasn’t sure what that looked like outside of fiction.
“Baby? I’m going to have more questions about this later.” My human agent sounded like he had connected the dots but was not ready to see the picture yet. “I would like at least one date first, however that actually looks here, and I would like for us to have at least a few conversations about the type of…let’s call it the type of human domination-based relationship you’d like to explore.”
My mate understood those but also understood I was…apprehensive.
“I am not used to talking about those topics but I do understand they cannot be avoided.” Eventually he would be able to see my thoughts on those, but if I waited until that point, my mate would be disappointed in me.
“I’m glad you know that.” Nuzzling me again, he sighed. “What are your thoughts on kissing?”
That it made me want to do the human sound of giggling.
