(Private RP) Another World <<syaoran-puu & Kotorichan>>

[Guest Kotorichan]

"My apologies... We did our best to get rid of the scent." Nivair murmured.

He hesitated for a moment, glancing up at the man. "I would be able to talk about more of it after our discussion tomorrow..." He said, a hint of hesitation in his voice. "Although it may not be something you wish to hear about."

----

Ceries lowered his gaze to his plate, his cheeks bright red.

"That's true, although my pet was quite obidient from the start." Advyk watched Ceries out of the corner of his eye. "The difficult part has been training him to be less skittish... He's still rather shy."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“You don’t need to apologise. The curse of being an eight tailed shifter. I smell way more than most.” He chuckled. “No reason to tell others though. So don’t worry. I imagine your prince is enjoying the freedom of being in this kingdom. No brother watching over you.”

 

He watched Nivair a moment then shrugged, “after recent events here? Nothing you say will likely shock me.” Brenton was.... a beast. Vaughn looked down, frowning as he contemplated a split Ceries. Two personalities within one fragile body.

 

———

 

Brenton smirked, looking back to Advyk; “shy pets have their merits too. Though I agree it can grow tedious at times.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Yes... His highess is worried that the king might have me executed if he found out about our relationship." Nivair sighed

"He's made me swear to flee the country if his majesty ever finds out."

He frowned slightly at the man's words. "I suppose we will find out..." He looked away. "Is Mr.Black that bad..?" He murmured.

 

----

 

"I find it quite cute, but it's still a bad habit that I do not wish to encourage." Advyk sipped his tea. "I have discovered that positive reinforcement is much more effective than punishment, is your experience the same?"

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“I enjoy punishments more.” Brenton said simply, “though I have attempted positive at times if I don’t get the desired response I go for what works. No complaints though. My pets always seem to enjoy it too.” Most of the time.

 

Fluffy certainly seemed to enjoy things lately. Sipping his wine he looked at Ceries, “what is your opinion, your highness? Punishment or positivity?” He wanted his Fluffy to answer but he couldn’t exactly drag that side out of him here.

 

——

 

He frowned at that but nodded. It might not be romantically but clearly Advyk did care on some level for Nivair. That had to make the shadow walker slightly happy?

 

Vaughn shrugged. “I’m honestly not sure what I can say....” he admits. “But perhaps if I say only what he’s done to me..... he is not always.... gentle.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Punishment can cause your pet to become fearful... It can even cause him to lash out." Advyk narrowed his eyes. "If you focus on punishment then you may end up regretting it."

 

Ceries blushed deeply at the question. He glanced up at Brenton, a hint of desire in his gaze. "I..." He looked away again. "I do not have any experience raising a pet... But I imagine rewards will lead to better loyalty."

 

----

 

"I see... That does not surprise me but I am still saddened to hear it." Nivair furrowed his brow. "I can not imagine how painful it must be for you to allow such a man near your prince..." Just thinking about it was making his skin crawl.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“They can. But not all pets are the same. From experience some flee from the tenderness of rewards.” Brenton shrugged. He’d not be told by Advyk how to bring up his ‘pet’.

 

He quirked a brow at Ceries. “I see....” his goal wasn’t loyalty though. Should he change and strive for it? Make Ceries so eager he’d lose himself and meet him with great expectation and eagerness?

 

——

 

Vaughn frowned a little. His nails digging in slightly as he thought about it. He sighed and let it go.

 

“I regret following that first instruction to leave more than you can ever know....” the shifter admitted.

 

With a shake of his head he pushed those feelings aside. He couldn’t change it.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I suppose so... Just don't come crying to me if he gets overly stressed and bites back." Advyk's voice had a hint of a threat to it.

Ceries couldn't focus on Advyk's words, his heart was pounding to hard.

 

---

 

"I'm sorry..." Nivair placed a hand on his shoulder. "If you ever wish to talk about it then I would be happy to listen... I may not be much for comforting words but I will do my best."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn covered the guys hand and laughed softly. “What a right pair we make. The deaf leading the blind.” He shrugged softly and nodded. “I appreciate it though.”

 

But honestly? He wasn’t sure he could say anything.

 

How did you even go about admitting these horrors?

 

———

 

Brenton smirked. “Duly noted. But I don’t cry to anyone.” He sipped his wine and looked at him. Advyk was very full of himself, confidence in abundance.

 

“Though you do sound as if you speak from experience. I hear you are extremely old. Many pets in your time I imagine. Fear not. My pet will be fine.” Brenton would ensure it.... one way or another.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Nivair chuckled softly and removed his hand. "I suppose we'll both have to just try our best..." He murmured.

 

----

 

"Mm... I see." Advyk chuckled softly. "I am only old to you because your lifespan is so much shorter... But yes, I have had plenty of experience. Which is why I'm so cautious of punishment. Even if it seems to be going well there will be eventually be a breaking point."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Brenton quirked his brow. “I see....” he decided to let it go.

 

Enough of this! “Each circumstance is individual.” He hummed, “however, let’s move on to happier topics.”

 

———

 

Vaughn frowned gently. “Try our best and try to survive the flames.” Potentially quite literally!

[Guest Kotorichan]

"Y-yes, let's." Ceries cleared his throat nervously. "How has your brother been, prince Advyk?"

They engaged in pleasant small talk for the rest of the meal, avoiding any heavy topics.

 

----

 

"I imagine that Mr.Black will be too tired to do much if things result in a war..." Nivair thought out loud.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“Unless he has pent up anger he needs to.... vent.” Vaughn frowned. Shaking his head a moment.

 

He didn’t want to think about that.

 

“Make sure you get Advyk away from here if war does break out. I don’t want another Prince to worry about.....” he smiled proudly, “though I suppose mine will be king by then.”

 

——

 

Brenton smiled and stood at the end. “Dinner was gorgeous.” Not really, “the company divine.” Kind of, “Thank you. I shall see you when you’re ready, Prince Ceriesti. I’ll have the plans we discussed ready.” He bowed and slowly left the two alone, heading back to his room.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"let's try to be optimistic..." Nivair sighed. "I will do my best to convince him to leave the country... He may insist on staying to help..."

 

---

Ceries let out a soft sigh as Brenton left. "I should go... Please excuse me..." He rose to his feet.

"Little bird..." Advyk stood and walked over, gently taking Ceries's hands in his own. "I know how strong you are, don't let him make you feel broken... You are fighting for your people your own way." He kissed his forehead. "We will speak more tomorrow."

He smiled and pulled away.

Ceries blushed deeply and nodded slightly. "Thank you..." He murmured before heading to his room.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn nodded. “They’re both so stubborn.” He smirked. “And tougher than we like to admit at times.” Ceries didn’t need Vaughn half as much as Vaughn needed the Prince.

 

Sensing movement he frowned. “I should go. I said I would help my Prince.” He smiled softly. “I shall meet you to spar afterwards. Until then.” Vaughn smirked and headed up, meeting Ceries in the corridors.

 

———

 

Brenton felt his powers ebb and flow within him. Who did Advyk think he was!? How dare he! He wanted to punch his face in!

 

But was he trying to warn him. More bees with honey and all that? Brenton didn’t like the attitude. The daring to tell him what to do!

 

For now he’d listen. But with reluctance.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Nivair nodded and rose to his feet. "Take your time." He disappeared into the shadows.

----

Ceries looked up at Vaughn, his cheeks flushed softly. "Hello... Did you have a pleasant meal?" He asked softly.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“I do, your highness.” He bowed gently to him. “It’s rare I get to spend time with guards from outside of the castle. It was nice to talk camaraderie with another.”

 

Vaughn escorted the Prince, opening the door for him.

 

He was rather happy to consider that he had the sparring to look forward to.... but then he was dreading what state he’d fine Ceries in when he visited him.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"That sounds nice... I'm glad you had a pleasant evening."

Ceries stepped into his room, he could feel panic rising in his chest. He sat down on the edge of his bed, his hands starting to tremble.

He stayed quiet until Vaughn shut the door. "Brenton and Advyk were... Discussing the best way to train a 'pet' over dinner..." He said softly.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“What!” The hairs on the back of his neck rose. Vaughn locked the door and walked over. “Nivair mentioned Advyk having darker tastes, that he’d talk to you about them tomorrow...” but Advyk was like Brenton?

 

It made him feel cold!

 

Worse! They’d discussed it in front of Ceries! “How... how did it make you feel?” Did Advyk guess? Or know?

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I don't know..." Ceries pulled his legs up and hugged them to his chest. "It made me nervous..."

"But I think Advyk was trying to help me in a strange way..." He said softly. "He was telling Brenton that rewards work better than punishment. I think he was trying to give him a reason to be nicer to me."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn frowned. “I still.... I’m not sure what he intended.... but? Do you think Brenton will.... listen?”

 

He watched Ceries. They both knew that this wasn’t like Advyk with Nivair... they both ‘agreed’. Ceries was considered more a slave.

 

Reaching carefully he stroked Ceries cheek then let his hand drop. “I’m sorry that I can’t help you.”

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I don't know... I suppose we'll have to wait and find out..." Ceries nuzzled into his hand. "Thank you... You're already doing plenty..."

He took a shaky breath and looked away. "I suppose... We should get started... I don't want him to become impatient..."

[Guest syaoran-puu]

Vaughn smiled. He wanted to do more! Wanted to help. But he couldn’t.... and that’s was killing him!

 

Reluctantly he nodded. “Yeah. I don’t want to see him punish you more.” He offered gently. Stroking his cheek once more before grabbing the lube. “Do you want to strip to a robe? Might make things easier later too.” As he watched he lubed up his fingers.

[Guest Kotorichan]

Ceries's cheeks were bright red but he nodded slightly and rose to his feet. He stripped off his clothes and pulled on a simple robe, leaving it untied for now. He sat back down and glanced up at Vaughn before quickly looking away.

[Guest syaoran-puu]

“You don’t need to be shy around me, Ceries.” He promised. “I’m never going to judge you.”

 

Stroking the guys leg a moment he helped to spread his legs. “Just relax.”

 

He smiled gently and reached for his hole. Caressing tendering as he slipped a finger inside. “Remember not to fight it....” Vaughn smiled.

[Guest Kotorichan]

"I'm sorry... I can't help it..." Ceries murmured. He whimpered in embarrassment as the man spread his legs.

"I-I know..." He wrapped his arms around Vaughn's shoulders, nuzzling his face into his neck. He let out a soft moan as the man's finger entered, his sensitive hole twitching around him.
