[ The puffed out cheeks, how absolutely adorable and Kai nearly awed out loud but managed to swallow down the urge just in time. Who knew how Dash might react and they did have more important things to focus on at the moment. Later he could inform Dash how cute he found him and the sweetness he sensed from him.

Squeezing his hand again, he gave a nod of his head. ]

One perk of having an obsessive mother I guess as to why I know so much. [ The queen knew of the dangers, especially against the sea and how many wanted to destroy them. Arming Kai with as much information as possible helped at least give him a somewhat advantage. ]

I'm glad you think it's nice. Not many like the thought of being so bound to someone. Sometimes not knowing where one begins and the other ends.

It's okay you don't know everything and you won't bring me down. We can learn together. [ There were too many details to know everything, after all, and Kai enjoyed learning all he could. Not just for advantages either. ]

The first step. Well. We'll probably want to ...you know. [ His free hand swished between their bodies a few times as if it explained the rest of his words. Sex, he meant, the ultimate bonding and connecting between two people. ]

After that....learning about each other, seeing how our bond will work and you not getting overwhelmed by the sea inside of you. It can ....feel like drowning if you don't learn to control the urges and needs of it. I'll have to grasp yours. How we communicate. Just ...the entirety of the bond. It needs to be balanced for us to stand being apart.

[ A quick exhale from all of that explanation and a soft frown. ]
