I can lay the eggs in you, of course, and you can incubate them.
[Come on, did you not take extraterrestrial biology. He pulls her closer to him, then, bending down and hiking her legs up over his shoulders. He nips at the inside of her thigh. Time for a Scientific Lesson while he cleans her up close and personal!]
It is impossible, but not because of that. It's impossible because I am Vidyadhara. [He licks over her, contemplatively.] My species - all of us - are barren.
[ she goes to sit up but is waylaid once more by him pulling her to him-- she makes a petulant little noise as he draws her hips up, but settles, interest sparking in her gaze once more. She shudders as he licks, lifting her hips to his mouth, her ears perked forward. ]
... You could have just led with that, you know. Instead of worrying me. You're positive?
Valencia. [His tone goes dangerously low, and he cants his head against her thigh. The hands wrapped around her legs prick claws gently against her skin as a warning.] No, you cannot bear my child, nor will I ever be able to bear anyone's. I would know, very well, how my people have dwindled, and will go extinct. I am certain, as their patriarch, for millennia.
[ a soft throaty noise, embarrassed even as she squeezes around him. ]
It's-- a big commitment, even ignoring the social aspects? Or anything else? And I can't... I don't know that I'd live long enough, in the first place, to do that. And.
[ trails off a moment, uneasy, looking away. Her tone comes carefully even, now. ]
... I would be a terrible mother. I was raised well, for my purpose, but I would not do the same for any child of mine but I don't think-- I would be able to avoid doing so, and hurt it in the process the same way I've been damaged.
... As well, a nonhuman child would certainly see me excommunicated from my faith, and rejected by my family, and likely most of society. Humans don't tolerate "monsters" well.
Discrimination happens in almost all species, I find. All valid reasons.
[Encouraging pet as he fucks a second finger in, crooking it to get some of the come out... Okay he might be just scissoring it for fun and the look on her face.]
I do not know enough about parenthood to comment about it, since I have never had them, either. But it is commendable of you to know your limits.
[HIS NOSE INFORMS HIM DIFFERENTLY, but if he's gonna be a shit, SO IS SETT.]
Hey, if you don't want any attention-
[Honestly, even without the lil spark of ire causing his tail to lash, he's MORE than happy to push himself up again to lean over and kiss Valencia. It's a little nuzzles against her lips before he kisses her - again - like it has been years between now and then last-
it would be very sweet if not for like, the QUITE DELIBERATE nearly 3 feet of red, fluffy tail thwapping DF in the face.]
[ she's very red, brow furrowed, and glancing back at him even as she jerks away just slightly from the sensation, still sensitive. She doesn't try very hard, though, apparently content to be touched.
Unsettled, slightly, by his calm acceptance of discrimination though. But maybe it's the idea of something close to her experiencing it that rouses her ire, even in the hypothetical. ]
It's... less knowing my limits and more about practicality, I think... I could not be a good parent, but any measure. Even if I wanted it.... It would-- prolong fulfillment of my duty, and then leave behind a motherless child... it's abject cruelty, I think.
[Do you know the thing Dan Feng hates the most? It's being ignored. dog_jealous_of_man_petting_toy_dog.gif
This will result in the following:
Dan Feng shoving blindly at the both of them, Dan Feng making a grab for that tail, and Dan Feng biting at said tail, while trying to wrestle the owner of the tail away from whatever sweet thing is going on (No Longer Allowed) so he can climb on him and slide a knee between his legs.]
[ Well she had gently pulled Sett down to her, pressing into the nuzzle and the kiss with a desperation that she's like just barely managing to keep control over, but--
Then Sett is wrestled away and Dan Feng is doing ???? something???? and she's just left laying there like. What.
[He still has enough social graces to know that this was not a topic that should be broached casually, and while he wants to know more - for better, or for worse - now he just presses a kiss to her stomach, just below her navel.]
Well - now that you know, that there is no chance, with me; there is no place for what-ifs.
[ It isn't that it isn't a relief. Objectively-- and even emotionally-- it's ideal, and broaches no issue with continuing on in this way, especially when there was no question of whether she liked being fucked like this. But the what-ifs have already anchored somewhere in the back of her mind, a little disappointed by the lack of future option whether for her or for him.
... For him, most certainly. Impossibility was far different than shouldn't.
She blushes lightly, at the kiss, and reaches down after a beat to sink her fingers into his hair, affectionate. ]
[That knee is good but it's BESIDE THE POINT. (and his interest is hard and obvious in that brief grind before Sett grabs him by the shoulders) HE'S GOING TO TRY AND DRIVE DAN FENG BACK INTO THE MATTRESS.]
[His mouth opens again like he's going to say something else, and the he realizes what he just said, and then he flushes a violent shade of red, and then he proceeds to -
Put a hand on Val's chest. Strategically.]
You can't have premarital relations in my bed without me! That is rude and indecent!
[ So. funny thing about that. He goes to reach for val, somewhere beyond Sett's bulk, and he's sure to meet the tits he's seeking.
Except he gropes at empty air, because sometime between Sett yowling and their wrestling continuing, she's apparently left the bed. and the room entirely. ]
[To be clear, it's totally Sett's fault, and Dan Feng is completely blameless, thank you very much. He climbs over Sett on purpose - whapping him in the face with his tail - and off the bed, going off in barefoot search of his sentient space heater.]
[ If him being absolutely at fault for their abandonment wasn't CRIMES AGAINST NATURE ENOUGH, it's just as Dan Feng is padding towards the door, the very tuft end of his tail is GRABBED AND HE IS HAULED BACK MID STEP. ]
[Like any self-respecting, emotionally repressed immortal, he shies away from her touch, at first- before pushing into it, needy.]
It is because I. [He opens his arms, making grabby hands at her, a gesture incongruent with how formal and intimidating his robes are.] I do want all of I have said. I meant them. But before this place, I did not understand what it was like to love someone without hating them.
